[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 87677, member: 1246"] Here's some additional L.A. Times blurbs...... In 2004, there were more than 70,000 non-Mexicans caught trying to enter the U.S. — through Mexico! They came from Brazil, Syria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iraq, China and 120 other countries. Last year in Los Angeles County, more than 30,000 criminal aliens who served jail sentences were released back into the community instead of being deported. "Nearly 70 illegal immigrants packed into a small "drop house" in Willowbrook were discovered Friday by law enforcement officers, underscoring the difficulty authorities have faced in cracking down on human smuggling in Southern California." "He said that the immigration agency, a part of the Department of Homeland Security, had made 1,057 arrests since February, when it announced the anti-gang initiative. Of those, Chertoff estimated, about 950 were illegal immigrants who, he said, "are subject to being removed." Initially, authorities focused on Mara Salvatrucha, a violent gang commonly known as MS-13, which is rooted in Central America but has branches in Los Angeles, the Washington, D.C., area and elsewhere. MS-13 members accounted for about half the arrests, Chertoff said." [/QUOTE]
