"Deportations have helped create an "unending chain" of gang members moving between the U.S. and Central America, said Rodrigo Avila, El Salvador's vice minister of security.

"It's a merry-go-round."

Turnaround in El Salvador

Cruz-Mendoza has been riding the merry-go-round for eight years.

He was a minor when he was deported in 1997 and again in 1998, federal immigration officials said.

In December 2003, he was convicted of attempted robbery, after he shoved a woman into a fence while trying to steal her purse at a South Los Angeles bus stop, court records show. As he demanded money, she said, he made threatening gestures and reached into his pocket, where police found a six-inch steak knife when he was arrested shortly thereafter.

In March 2004, he pleaded guilty to a second felony of drug possession, which was dismissed in a sentencing deal for the attempted robbery.

After serving little more than a year in jail, Cruz-Mendoza was deported for a third time in January, records and interviews show.

U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested him in Arizona a month later. At that point, he could have been charged with a felony for reentering the country after deportation, which could have landed him in federal prison for as long as 20 years.

Instead, federal court records show he struck another plea deal with the U.S. attorney's office in Arizona, admitting to a "petty offense" of being in the country illegally. He was ordered to serve 90 days and pay a $10 fine, and was put on the July flight to San Salvador.

He shouldn't have gotten off that easy, federal prosecutors now acknowledge.

At the San Salvador airport, Cruz-Mendoza is waiting to be interviewed by police. He talks about his plans to get back to the U.S. and make a profit in the process.

- in checking him in, the El Salvador officials are most concerned that he not be planning to stay, so he assures them he 'always' returns to the US, having family here.

As he hustles out of the airport, Cruz-Mendoza spots the MS-13 member from Washington, a 24-year-old with U.S. drug convictions who says he has been deported three times.

The East Coast gang member waves and calls out: "See you in L.A." By late September, Cruz-Mendoza is back somewhere in Los Angeles, according to family members in El Salvador."

So, if you don't want a fence, what would your plan be?

oso - I don't get you

santiago - even tunnels would be a bottleneck they don't have now. We're talking a HIGHWAY here....

Answer 1

If we stay on the "elected class" maybe it will become harder to sneak into our country...

the ones against a border fence are not the ones paying taxes...they are the ones disrespecting our flag and standing back & calling all of us racist.

Answer 2

The fence will offer a solution for the tunnel problem.There will be sensors to locate and pin point where they are so that they can be destroyed

Tunnel passages across an international border into the United States have become a real problem. There are 40 such tunnels that have been discovered since 9/11, and the great bulk of them are on the southern border. Large-scale smuggling of drugs, weapons, and immigrants takes place today through these tunnels. One tunnel running from San Diego to Tijuana was marked by inordinate sophistication. It was a half mile long. It went 60 to 80 feet deep, 8 feet tall. It had a concrete floor. It was wired for electricity. It had drainage. At one end, 300 pounds of marijuana were found, and at the other end, 600 pounds of marijuana. What was interesting is that the California entry into the tunnel was a very modern warehouse, a huge warehouse compartmented but empty and kept empty for a year. In one office there was a hatch in the floor. It looked much like the hatch which Saddam had secreted himself in. But lifting that hatch disclosed a very sophisticated tunnel. It went under other buildings all the way across the double fence into Mexico and up in Mexico in a building as well.
This can be stopped cold with the new sensors in place.

Sorry Dar for not answering your question first
people like the one in your question deserve to be put away from society,he has never suffered from any of his actions so he sees no reason to stop.its been working for him hasn't it.But take hope,most like him don't live to long,due to their life styles.I would use the camps FEMA has set up to hold people like him,and all the others that think America is a joke.We need to put a little fear of retribution back in this country,a little respect for our laws.Enough is enough.its time to get tough on illegals and all law breakers.Now ,not later.

Answer 3

The fence we're building now will only extend to 1/3 the size of the southern US-Mexican border. All it will do is divert the people to cross at a different section. The real way to deal with illegal immigration is to stick the national guard down there. Bush finally caved into the pressure and authorized 5 to 6 thousand troops, but that isn't enough.

Answer 4

Because Canadians respect the concepts of law. Mexico as a whole doesn't they're an oligarchy not a respectable government. It's why their government aids and encourages border crossings to put the burden of the poor on the US that way they don't have to invest in an infrastructure. You Tax Dollars at work! Welcome to the North American Union. EDIT: Now that I think about it I'm really starting to think the US government really isn't any better.

Answer 5

And do you think "The New Berlin Wall" will stop inmigrants,? HAHAHAHAHAH,......let me laugh again, HAHAHAHAHAHA

Have you ever heard about tunnels?
And how many other things can be made to cross the border in the Rio Grande? Cubans use boats to cross a sea. Just think any way, those and other ways will be used.

The wall is only made because the republican party want to win the next election.
It is only a waste of money.

I am mexican and I am not against building a wall.... any country has the right to build any thing in their territory, but instead i am surprised about the innocent people thinking that is the answer to the problem of illegal inmigration.

Answer 6

I am not against a border fence, but if it came down to it, I say it should be open season on illegals. This is not a racist statement, but the situation is out of control. I do not think our country should be so lenient. If they aren't going to control the problem, then we, the citizens, should go for vigilante justice.

Answer 7

As long as they get off so easy and get so many breaks the threat of ICE is a joke America laws are a joke. Illegal aliens do get preferred specialize treatment.

Answer 8

Claymores, Ma Duces and close air support, just like when they were comin' through the wire on Firebase Ladybird.

Answer 9

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
Maybe we need to bring back bounty hunters. They can take it out of my taxes.

Answer 10
