M-13 / MS-13 The New American Mafia; Terror, Gangs, and Destabilization

THE NEW AMERICAN MAFIA
M-13
SALVADORIAN GANGSTERS



It’s Presidential Candidate time and both parties, Democrats and Republicans, have held their first televised debates. During the debates, the issue of illegal immigration was discussed as a main stream topic, but the domestic policy by either party failed to address the bigger picture, the “M-13” Illegal Immigrant criminal enterprise actively operating within our cities.

The May Day 2007 demonstration across America discovered a new dimension facing America. “Illegal Immigration” has raised many issues. However, none is more important than establishing control and enforcement of those GANG members that have come into America illegally, representing an organized criminal enterprise as never seen before. Not like the old time Mustache Pete’s, or the Al Capone’s or even the John Gotti’s, the M-13 Gang is not only ruthless in their methods of control, but violent to the community and to themselves. In California, the State has a Special Section within one of its prisons, a separate segregated section just for M-13 members. Each is held individually, has little or no contact with other M-13 members, and is

locked down approximately 23 hours a day. These are violent killers, violent extortionists and have a criminal agenda to disrupt the inner cities and the Latino community. Mostly made up of Salvadorians, M-13 have a political base with an ideology to mandate the overthrow of American communities, one community at a time. Like its predecessor May 13 Terror Group, the M-13 has been in existence for many years, destabilizing South American and Central American cities. They are here in America, reaching across this country with a tight knit organization of crime and violence.

What’s lost in the rhetoric for control of our South West borders, the illegal immigrants are a mixture of people with hope and a mixture of people with organized criminal intent. Building walls and fences across Arizona, Texas and California, adding Border Patrols, armed Citizens patrolling their land does not address M-13. America needs to focus on this violent gang, it’s supporters and sympathizers to prevent them from entering into the United States or spreading across the county. American citizens are split on the flood of illegal immigrants. Some want them to stay and offer them a chance at becoming American citizens, while most want them returned to their homeland, and seek entry the legal procedural way.

More than 68% of the American’s polled want illegal immigrants returned to their countries. Easier said than done! In 2007 it is guesstimated that more than 12 million illegal aliens are in the United States. They work off the books in a variety of businesses, some pay their taxes, send their children to school and are law abiding. Many are looking for a better life for themselves and children. Others have come with evil intentions, criminal gangs, taking over the inner cities from the old line Mafia.

Government agencies have no idea where they are, who they are and what they are doing here. While the illegal aliens have melted into our American cities, government entities, cities, states and even the Federal establishment are locked in the debate about what to do. Local governments are crying foul because of the unexpected costs attributed to these illegal aliens living within their city. Increase in hospital emergency room and medical visits, increased education classroom costs for illegal children, and then increased population in our prison system.

Many in the Prison population are identified as illegal aliens associated with M-13. Our police departments have daily encounters with these violent gangs. Our police departments are understaffed, under financed and lack intelligence about the activities of these gangs, they are often subject to violent attacks, gun fights and face high powered weapons.

This may not be a police issue, but rather a military action to control this criminal army of soldiers from other countries trying to destabilize American cities. The FBI has committed a $10 million dollar budget to attack this criminal enterprise; however, it will take more than the FBI, or even a Joint Task Force of Police and Federal Agents to get a handle on this organization.

The violent M-13 or “Mara Salvatrucha” street gang has migrated with the illegal aliens entering this country. They have a significant presence in the large cities and now are reaching into the suburbs and small towns. From Rhode Island to the Carolinas, to Los Angeles, the migration of M-13 follows the movement of illegal seeking work and legalization into American culture. Whether it’s in farming, crop picking or construction trades these groups are present.

M-13 is the FBI’s number one target from it newly created Gang Task Force. The gang violence includes murder. In one instance identified by law enforcement, an order was given by gang leaders to hit (kill) an Alexandria, Va. 17 year old pregnant teenager, suspected by gang leaders that she became an informant. M-13 gang members pled guilty in Alexandria for attacking another teenager.

M-13 members use “street” names and coded messages similar to the methods used by the Mafia. Even in prison, written coded messages, often written in urine have been confiscated from gang leaders. By writing in urine, it is not visible to the human eye, after it dries.

According to the FBI Gang Task Force, they are trying to determine if an organized hierarchy exists. They have observed an effort to organize in the same way that the Mafia is structured. The question of who is calling the shots for the gang has the FBI stumped. Observations find that gang members spread from Los Angeles throughout America, carrying out orders in other cities. It was reported that 20 members of the M-13 Gang from Los Angeles traveled to Northern Virginia because they were “upset” that the local M-13 members failed to kill a Fairfax County police officer, in 2002.

During a summit of U.S. Conference of Mayors, Chicago Police Superintendent Philip J. Cline said that street gangs like M-13 are far more violent than the Mafia ever was. M-13 members receive protection in prison from Mexican gangs. They pay tribute to the Mexican gangs for protection.

It’s time American’s wake up to the fact that we are under attack from foreign interests, with armies, not necessarily in uniform, on our soil, raping our cities of the stability of a democratic society.

The May 1, 2007 demonstration in Los Angeles McArthur Park left at least 15 LAPD officers injured and assaulted. The illegal alien supporters set fires, and confronted the police with violent response. Many of the protesters were illegal socialists, and radical illegal aliens. It was estimated that more than 35,000 protesters in two cities in California were demanding illegal immigrant status. Some waving American flags, other with Mexican and Salvadorian flags. The T.V. news pictures show a reaction by the LAPD, the use of tear-gas, rubber bullets and batons, thus demanding an investigation about over reaction. The LAPD was greatly constrained, until the rocks and bottles began to be thrown by those criminal antagonists that want to disrupt a peaceful demonstration and turn it into a riot. We’ve seen this in their countries, now it’s here! Welcome to Democracy, Welcome to Freedom of Speech! In Salvador or Mexico, they would be shot, dragged off to prison and not heard from for months. In America, the speedy trial and immediate justice prevails. For the Gang members, they are using America’s democratic doctrine to advance thier socialist and anti-American rhetoric.

In New York a violent melee resulted from thousands of people who assembled in Union Square. Police tried to contain the group, but the overwhelming crowd blocked traffic and pedestrian sidewalks. One police officer was injured. See: www.nj.gov/org/gang-sign

America can no longer accept an Amnesty like “Guest Workers” or a “Path to Citizenship” without first clearing the communities from the vermin of organized gangs like the M-13. Immigration and Customs Enforcement along with local police agencies need to address and enforce the illegal alien population, while politicians must stop establishing “Safe Harbor” cities. The failure to enforce the immigration laws like the terrorists and their sympathizers that live within America, will grow in strength unless our law enforcement community take action to control, rescue and enforce our laws. Selective enforcement should not rule here. This is not a political question, but rather a question of American stability.
