Mara Salvatrucha is a violent crime organization based in Mexico:
The gang grew from Salvadoran refugees in California in the 1980s into one of the largest criminal syndicates in North America, with as many as 20,000 members in the United States and branches throughout Mexico, Central America and Canada. Mara Salvatrucha is among the most successful smugglers of drugs, weapons and people across the U.S.-Mexico border.
They are threatening to attack the U.S. civilians, called the MinuteMen, who are voluntarily seeking to police the U.S.-Mexico border.
The notorious crime syndicate Mara Salvatrucha is threatening Arizona’s Project Minuteman and reportedly plans to teach it “a lesson” once the Minutemen begin fanning out along Arizona’s border regions this weekend.
...Mara Salvatrucha has reportedly issued “green lights” to kill police officers in Virginia and Maryland. Such a criminal enterprise—which, we point out, is the largest criminal syndicate in the Washington area—benefits greatly from lax border security and under-funding of the U.S. Border Patrol.
The ACLU has warned the MinuteMen that it intends to monitor their actions to make sure the Minutemen do not abuse the rights of non-Americans trying to illegally enter this country. This story exemplifies how the ACLU—intentionally or not—helps the criminals who are using illegal immigration to do harm to the U.S.
The Minutemen are planning to observe only:
Project Minuteman’s 1,000 or more observers will likely be able to spot the gangsters as they attempt to cross into Arizona. They will be able to report on suspected criminal activity involving illegal border-crossings and point the Border Patrol toward the worst offenses. Some of the Minutemen with valid licenses will be armed. The Minutemen have been instructed to holster their weapons and not to confront any suspected lawbreakers. Their only purpose is to spot offenders and report them to the Border Patrol.
But knowing they can count on the ACLU to do their dirty work for them, Mara Salvatrucha is expected to attack the Minutemen. It is likely that they are counting on the ACLU to then take the Minutemen to court:
But Mara Salvatrucha may well do its best to force them to react otherwise, given the stakes for a criminal enterprise like Mara Salvatrucha and its violent record inside the United States.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the ACLU jumps right in to cooperate with the enemies of America in exactly this way.
Daniel Pipes reports:
This is the 21st Century version of the cruelty with which children were treated in schools of the 1800’s, as dramatized in the novels of Charles Dickens.

Past Accusations Against Michael Jackson are Admissible Evidence in Current Case. What’s the deal on this? Aren’t we always hearing that someone accused of a terrible crime is on trial, and the judge excludes from the courtroom testimony on all the previous times he was accused or suspected of a similar crime?
Per scientist William F. Ruddiman writing in Scientific American, Earth has been in an ice age for millions of years, with brief interruptions by warm periods like ours. Given the length of previous such warm periods, this one should have ended 8,000 years ago. What stopped the ice age and made current human civilization possible? Global warming, caused by…. human agriculture.
Orson Scott Card has a great discussion of Ruddiman’s article here.
