| 2006-01-10 |
| WND. Salt as needed. A confidential memo from federal officials warns Border Patrol agents they could be the targets of assassins hired by the smugglers of illegal aliens. The memo, dated Dec. 21, states smugglers plan to bring members of the Mara Salvatruchas gang – also known as MS-13 –into the U.S. to target the border agents. According to the Associated Press, the alert, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, notes that illegal aliens have become increasingly annoyed by recent efforts to tighten the southern border of the United States. Aliens from El Salvador began MS-13 in Los Angeles but also has a presence in Central America. The gang has been linked to al-Qaida and other terrorist organizations. Members have been known to behead victims and attack with grenades and machetes. Federal officials estimate between 8,000 and 10,000 MS-13 members live in 31 states – the majority of them in the country illegally. Some 103 suspected members of the gang were rounded up during a seven-city operation in March. As WorldNetDaily reported, on New Year's weekend, as many as 20 shots were fired from Mexico at agents near Brownsville, Texas, in the most recent of a series of incidents involving gunplay and other violence directed at Americans from south of the Rio Grande River. The gunfire did not appear to be a random action and that the attacker – who was not identified in reports – was most likely a trained shooter, KRGV-TV, ABC's Brownsville affiliate, said. |

| #3 until they start requiring that businesses require proof of citizenship or face fines - they aren't serious about the Mexican workers. However, if the MS-13 wants to see us get serious about our border - killing Federal agents will be a good way to start. |

| #2 illegal aliens have become increasingly annoyed by recent efforts to tighten the southern border They aren't annoyed by the efforts, but by the successes. And those that are already here (illegal aliens) aren't nearly as annoyed as those that can't get in. And of course the jackels (not you, of course, Jackel! You we love!) who make their fortunes moving the wannabees to the promised land. |

| #1 Feds have a great way of responding to stuff like this. They take a bunch of the recalcitrants out in the desert and execute them. I know it's terribly death-squad-like, but it does send a really good message. Even more so if the local American media just don't report it. Heck, west of Phoenix, in the past two or three years, there must have been 25-35 under-reported bodies found in a single stretch of desert. No news here, just a bunch of dead Messicans. |
