The sweep involved several local, state and federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a statement from that organization. Together, they arrested 676 people and seized more than $12 million, 282 weapons and 94 vehicles around the United States.

Illegal Alien Pleads Guilty To Food Stamp Fraud An illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic has pleaded guilty to allegations that he used straw owners to operate several grocery stores in Hartford that he used to defraud the federal food stamp program of about $1.6 million. Federal prosecutors say Apolinare Collado, who also used numerous aliases, allowed customers to exchange food stamps for cash and other products not eligible for purchase with the benefit between 2003 and 2009. The 43-year-old pleaded guilty Friday to one count of food stamp fraud. He faces up to 20 years in prison at sentencing scheduled for June 6. In 1998, Collado was previously sentenced to 18 months in prison and was later deported after he was convicted of food stamp fraud, tax fraud and immigration offenses. He had been detained since January 2009 for immigration violations. ************************************************* 5. Dave Gibson -- The Examiner

The seizure occurred Wednesday during an outbound inspection at the Hidalgo/Reynosa International Bridge.
The officers found the cash hidden in the bags of three women from Dalton. Two were identified as U.S. citizens aged 22 and 35, carrying $404,126 and $554,121 respectively, the third as a 55-year-old Mexican citizen carrying $500,676.

More civilians were killed last year in Ciudad Juarez, the Mexican city across the border from El Paso, Texas, than were killed in all of Afghanistan. There were 3,111 civilians murdered in the city of Juarez in 2010 and 2,421 in the entire country of Afghanistan. On a per capita basis, a civilian was 30 times more likely to be murdered last year in Juarez, where there are 1,328,017 inhabitants according to Mexico's 2010 census, than in Afghanistan, where there are 29,121,286 people according to the CIA World Factbook. ******************************************************** 9. Drug cartels have infiltrated the U.S. Border Patrol
In March 2010, the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee heard testimony from top federal officials about growing corruption of U.S. law enforcement along the U.S/Mexican border.
FBI assistant director for criminal investigations, Kevin Perkins, informed the subcommittee that in the last two years, there have been 400 corruption cases involving U.S. federal, state and local law enforcement officers working in the Southwest border region.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection assistant commissioner, James Tomsheck, warned the Senators that Mexican drug cartels have stepped up their efforts to corrupt and infiltrate the Border Patrol. He also reported that in 2009 alone, Customs and Border Protection conducted corruption investigations on 576 of their own agents.
In 2010, CBP conducted well over 750 corruption investigations.
Unfortunately, in the U.S., we are now seeing the beginning of the kind of corruption which has become the order of the day in Mexico. In addition to scores of Mexican police and military officials working basically as soldiers for the drug cartels, many elected officials in Mexico are also paid off by the cartels.

10. Why are we paying for this???? Unbelievable - Where are our politicians on this - not so much the threats from the drug cartels - but the cost to the American Taxpayer for the medical care for Mexican citizens There are hospitals in Mexico - ya know! http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lifestyle/2011/02/24/ciudad-juarez-paramedics-threatened-gunshot-victims-hospitals/ Ciudad Juárez Paramedics Threatened if They Take Gunshot Victims to U.S. Hospitals Published February 24, 2011 | EFE Private paramedics in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico's murder capital, are being threatened with death by drug traffickers, who have prohibited them from taking people with gunshot wounds to neighboring El Paso, Texas, hospital officials told Efe. An average of five people a day sustain gunshot wounds in the border city and the majority of them ask to be taken to El Paso, which is just across the Rio Grande, for security reasons. Gunmen have sometimes chased ambulances or entered hospitals in Juárez to finish off people who survived shootings. The paramedics, many of whom are volunteers, began receiving death threats last year via the Life 1 radio frequency used by first responders and the threatening messages have been "constant" since then, emergency services coordinator Juan Arras told Efe. "They do it blatantly. They say they are with La Linea or from El Chapo's cartel and tell us that if we take anybody out of the city that we picked up who had been in an armed attack, they are going to break us," Arras said. University Medical Center, a public hospital in El Paso, said at least 191 people wounded in shootings in Ciudad Juárez have been treated since 2008, costing the non-profit institution $3 million. The Texas hospital teated 58 patients in 2008 and 83 others in 2009, with the figure falling to around 50 last year due to the threats against Mexican paramedics. Paramedics must also deal with authorities on the Mexican side of the border who often prevent them from going to a crime scene until army troops have secured it. "People think that we don't want to get near or we take too long, but what really happens is that there is a military and police order that we can't get close, and we have to go around in circles until they give us permission," Arras said.
