Officials at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have proposed a new salary plan for Border Patrol agents that could cost them an average of $7,000 a year in lost pay and spark what some say would be an exodus of veteran agents to higher-paying agencies.

Commentary by Tyrus W. Cobb: Mexican drug cartels, gangs bringing violence to Nevada, U.S.
By Tyrus W. Cobb
For the Nevada Appeal


I've got some bad news for you today, and the situation appears as if it will only get worse.

The cartel wars in Mexico continue unabated, and the violence and the gangs themselves are increasingly appearing in American cities, including here in Northern Nevada. The gangs are tied into Mexican cartel drug operations, and they also smuggle illegal immigrants into the U.S., ship other contraband and carry cash for money-laundering.

The cartels control large swaths of territory in Mexico and many municipalities. They are waging violent turf battles over control of key smuggling corridors, employing hit men and groups of enforcers. Some of the cartels are using grenade launchers, automatic weapons, and even armored vehicles against outgunned Mexican law enforcement. More worrisome, many have mastered the roadside-bomb techniques employed by insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are using these improvised explosive devices against badly outgunned law enforcement agencies.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency estimates that 90 percent of the cocaine entering the U.S. comes through Mexico, primarily from Colombia, and heroin is increasingly part of the mix. Mexico is also a major drug-producing country itself, now the leading supplier of marijuana and methamphetamine.

In Mexico, the violence is primarily the outgrowth of rival cartels expanding their areas of domination. Just since 2006, the body count from cartel-related violence is over 46,000 dead. While most of the casualties are members of one cartel or the other, more than 1,000 Mexican police, military and political figures have been slaughtered, as have numerous innocent civilians who were caught in the crossfire.

The cartels have established a presence here as well, and are regarded as far more sophisticated and dangerous than any other organized criminal group in the United States. Larry Martines, former director of homeland security in Nevada and a retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department official who carefully tracks gang and cartel activities, worries that inter-gang warfare may break out in this area. Gangs tied into different cartels are working in this region as paid associates in the smuggling of drugs and people. This involves mostly Chicano gangs such as the Sureños and the Norteños, but Martines has identified members of the Crips and Bloods operating here as well.

Martines believes that many members of the Norteños (from Northern California) and the violent MS-13 gang have established a presence here. He says that some Sureños (from Southern California) are in Northern Nevada, as well. All three of these groups are associated with different Mexican cartels that are at war with each other and may be competing for control of turf in this region.

Why? The Reno-Sparks area is located on I-80, a major transit route for drugs and illegal aliens. Establishing control over this route would represent a major advantage for a cartel or gang, giving it significant influence over a key cross-country shipping grid.

Martines worries that once one of these gangs establishes control over part of the community, it would take a long, difficult and expensive effort to take back our streets.

Washoe County Sheriff Mike Haley recognizes the increasing presence of gangs in this region but believes that the associations they have with the Mexican cartels are not particularly strong. He characterizes the relationships more like “mercenaries,â€
