ROUNDING UP MEXICO'S MOST WANTED U.S. Representative Judge Ted Poe (TX-02) Tuesday, September 26, 2006
It's a big day in the U.S. when we catch someone on our Most Wanted List. Shouldn't it be an even bigger day when we catch someone on Mexico's Most Wanted List? In Ohio, that's right Ohio. It's a long way from our southern border with Mexico. Julio Ernesto Cobian-Ariaza is just 27 and this Mexican citizen is already a career criminal alien. This illegal is wanted back home in Mexico for his connection to two murders and two more attempted murders. But his list of offenses here in the U.S. is much longer. He's been convicted of attempted murders, assault with a firearm and street terrorism, in plain English--gang activity. We've caught him twice before and sent him home. First in 1999 when he was just 20. And again in September of 2001. This time as an aggravated felon at the tender age of 22. Just sneaking back into the country from Mexico once is a felony punishable by 20 years in prison. So his laundry list of crimes in the U.S. alone should have him locked up in the penitentiary for decades. But an even more disturbing part of this story is Ariaza isn't alone. His arrest is just one of more than 3 thousand gang members in just a few years. A crackdown on gangs with foreign born and illegal members He's among many alien gang members representing almost 400 different gangs across the United States. People mock our country and say we are the world's police. But the truth is our open borders make us just that. We can't clear our own top ten most wanted list but we're making a dent in some others. These international outlaws are targeting Americans on our own streets and we'll keep rounding up these murderous illegals until we shut down our borders. If we could do that we would have a good shot at clearing at least one name of our own most wanted list.
The moral of this story is maybe we should stop accepting the world's most dangerous criminals so we can get back to ours. Seal the borders protect Americans and let the rest of the world deal with their own criminals on their own soil. That's just the way it is. Are You Eligible for Stimulus Money?
