..Mexican drug cartels recruiting Texas children

Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told Reuters the drug gangs have a chilling name for the young Texans lured into their operations.

"They call them 'the expendables,'" he said.

McCraw said his investigators have evidence six Mexican drug gangs -- including the violent Zetas -- have "command and control centers" in Texas actively recruiting children for their operations, attracting them with what appears to be "easy money" for doing simple tasks.

"Cartels would pay kids $50 just for them to move a vehicle from one position to another position, which allows the cartel to keep it under surveillance to see if law enforcement has it under surveillance," he said.

"Of course, once you're hooked up with them, there's consequences."

McCraw said 25 minors have been arrested in one Texas border county alone in the past year for running drugs, acting as lookouts, or doing other work for organized Mexican drug gangs. The cartels are now fanning out, he said, and have operations in all major Texas cities.

This month, "we made an arrest of a 12-year-old boy who was in a stolen pickup truck with 800 pounds of marijuana," he said. "So they do recruit our kids."

McCraw says the state of Texas is joining a program initiated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection called "Operation Detour," in which law enforcement officers meet with children and their parents in schools and at community centers to warn them about the dangers of what appears to be the easy money the Mexican drug gangs offer.

Law enforcement officers say children are less likely to be suspects than adults, are easily manipulated by relatively small sums of money, and face less severe penalties than adults if arrested.

Last month, Texas officials released a report indicating Mexico-based drug gangs are intent on creating a "sanitary zone" on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande, and are "intimidating landowners" in south Texas into allowing them to use their property as "permanent bases" for drug smuggling activity.

Law Maker Bas***ds,
you know full well how ending prohibition will take power away from the drug lords, therefore are you more accountable for you horrible deeds to the citizens of this country, and our children.
Yes, you will be paying the price for your misdeeds to the inhabitants of the land. How do I know this??
Because I know God!
The kingdom of heaven IS at hand!

The government should resort to what they seem to do best: TAXATION!!

Legalize the stuff, then tax the bejeebus out of it. Turn drug czars into legitimate business men, then tax them too.

Simple.

"They" have had enough time to do that. "They" know exactly what "They" are doing.

Law Maker Bas***ds,

Vengeance IS mine, says the Lord. I will repay.

It's better that a millstone be hung around your neck and you be cast into the sea than that you should offend one of these little ones who believe in Me.

Jesus

Today, May the Lord set apart the innocent children in the land, and the children of the wolves in sheeps clothing that destroy the earth. That they are the ones seduced by the drug cartels as "expendables".
Maybe they will repent of their evil deeds against the inhabitants of the land in the drug Lords they themselves created, and as the article describes the children are being arrested and punished for being seduced by these drug lords.

Obviously, I am not in favor of former drug lords becoming providers because they have shed much blood and lawmaker ba***ds have chided in to help out with guns.

I know a NASA Engineer who during his administration smoked for creativity and focus.

Let the children be safe from harm, and be delivered from Drug Cartel seduction, and Bad Law and Bad Cops, Bad Judges who are altogether corrupt, prisons, and jailors, being labled felons in society having their reputations destroyed needlessly, being unable to vote and so silenced, and every other unjust thing involved. Let it all come home to the wolves in sheeps clothing who perpetuate it. In Jesus Name!
For God's Sake Legalize it, Stupid!

bljones has a spectacular aura about bljones has a spectacular aura about
Just to play devil's advocate regarding legalization, let's take the whole why-throw-users-in-jail-it's-non-violent-it's-a-lifestyle argument to the ridiculous conclusion:


Those who collect child pornography are non-violent and aren't hurting anyone- after all THEY didn't take the pictures, and they have a sickness so the dirty pictures are the pedophilic equivalent of medical marijuana, so why should we put THEM in jail? Legalize it and the problem goes away.

Fraudsters like Bernie Madoff are non-violent, and any time you invest money with anyone there is the possibility of losing it all, if governments can run lotteries with astronomical odds and casinons can rake in billions from suckers, then why should Ponzi schemers go to jail? Besides, it's obvious trhat anyone who would callously rip off trusting investors is a sociopath, and sociopathy is a psychological disorder, so the scammer is just a victim of his illness. if it is an illness then it can't be a crime, can it? Legalize it and the problem goes away.

bwalker, if your posts are the work of a chronic pot-smoker, then they may be the best evidence AGAINST legalization. This world already has enough delusional unproductive ranting souls incapable of producing an intelligent and well-thought opinion- why make it easier to create more of them?

First of all, anyone who partakes in child pornography is violent. They are hurting children, so your logic as sick as it is, is sick.

THEFT IS TAKING FROM SOMEONE BY FORCE.
FORCE IS VIOLENCE.

Amazing how you can't find an apple to compare to the apple.

Actually the person who PRODUCES the child porn is violent. The consumer of child porn is as innocent of the violence of the pornographer as the drug user is of the violence of the drug lord. Child porn users need to go to jail for a long, long time don't you think?

Theft is the taking of someone's property when they're not looking. Robbery is taking it by force. What Madoff did was fraud. He convinced people to GIVE him their money under false pretences. Nothing violent about fraud.
