Mexican cartels plague Atlanta
2009-03-09
The same violent groups warring in Mexico have established Atlanta as the principal distribution center for the entire eastern U.S.
Their presence and ruthless tactics are largely unknown to most here. Yet, of the 195 U.S. cities where Mexican drug-trafficking organizations are operating, federal law enforcement officials say Atlanta has emerged as the new gateway to the troubled Southwest border.

Rival drug cartels, the same violent groups warring in Mexico for control of routes to lucrative U.S. markets, have established Atlanta as the principal distribution center for the entire eastern U.S., according to the Justice Department's National Drug Intelligence Center.

In fiscal year 2008, federal drug authorities seized more drug-related cash in Atlanta -- about $70 million -- than any other region in the country, Drug Enforcement Administration records show.

This year, more than $30 million has been intercepted in the Atlanta area -- far more than the $19 million in Los Angeles and $18 million in Chicago.

#5  Como Esta!

Welcome to reality. Open borders. Political pampering of the non-citizen over the citizen (for votes of course). No need for id when voting, hell, we can now have MS-13 politicos running the city!

You "multi-culturalists" want the world to love us?

Ole!!!!

#3  Mexican cartels infiltrate Houston (via Instapundit)

Also, an American was found in Mexico decapitated and cut into chunks. He was recently released from US prison for drugs selling.
