Tony Rafael wrote the book "The Mexican Mafia" exposing the ruthless methods of this new "Mafia" which is terrorizing the streets of Los Angeles and other cities....

While it has existed since the 1950s, it has grown by leaps and bounds since the mass invasion of illegals from the south.... by all indications, they are as ruthless as the Italian Mafia ever was... worse they are intimidating Blacks to stay out of "their" (Latino) neighborhoods....

The Mayor of Los Angeles had this big ennouncement about fighting gangs, but very little has happened. Villaraigosa claims LA has no funds, yet the $82 million appropriated for a program called "LA Bridges" has gone missing or misspent....

Is this the "mexicanization" at work in LA and California?

of course the "Hispanic" community will simply say that Illegals or Latino immigrants are no more prone to committing crimes than other ethnic groups.... but then why do they keep referring to those illegal migrants as "good-hearted and hard-working"? Why should ANY of the illegals be committing crimes beyong the crimes that they unofficially are allowed to commit (immigration laws and identity theft or identity fraud)? A heavy component of these gangs are in fact illegals...

According to Tony Rafael, even MS-13 is subservient to the Mexican Mafia in cities where LA EME (the "M") operates.... wow! This organization operates on a "horizontal" structure, unlike the Italian Mafia where you did have a Management Structure.... the Mexican Mafia is essentially a "franchise" operation going.. with many operating seemingly legitimate businesses for "laundering" their money coming from collections of "insurance premiums".

The ultimate question here might be: how high up in the ranks of city government does this corruption reach?
