Due to an unprotected border…Mexican drug operations are already entrenched in the U.S.

APLast week, Alejandro Villa-Gomez, 28, was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for the distribution of powder and crack-cocaine.

The Mexican national recently pleaded guilty to distributing more than five kilograms of cocaine in St. Clair and Madison counties between 2007 and 2009.

Villa-Gomez ran his drug operation from his home in Caseyville, Il.

While many may be surprised to hear of a Mexican drug operating so far from the border, the cartels have set up shop across the country.

Despite the lack of concern on the part of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, as well as the inaction from President Obama, the drug cartels which now control much of Mexico, now have major operations within the United States. If our government continues their current strategy, the entire U.S. will soon become a war zone.

In November 2008, three Mexican gang members disguised as police officers burst into a Las Vegas home, hogtied a woman and her boyfriend, and kidnapped the woman’s 6 year old son Cole Puffinburger.

Apparently, the boy’s grandfather Fred Tinnenmeyer, owed the cartel several thousand dollars. The little boy was released three days later.

Shortly after the kidnapping, Tinnenmeyer was arrested by federal authorities. The kidnappers are still at large.

In August 2008, Reuters reported on an American businesswoman identified only as “Veronica,“ who had been kidnapped a few months earlier. As she was exiting her car in California, two men forced her into the passenger seat at gunpoint, then shoved her teenage daughter into the back seat and took the pair to Mexico.

The kidnappers drove through the border checkpoint in San Diego, bringing the mother and daughter to Tijuana. The two were held captive for a month until their family paid the ransom of $100,000.

Veronica said of her experience: “We got an automatic green light to go through Mexican customs and then we were blindfolded and taken to a house in Tijuana. They held a pistol to my stomach all the time we were in the car.â€
