        • "Basically this goes back to the immigration from El Salvador again. Because of the political situation in the 1970s and 1980s, a lot of El Salvadorans migrate to Washington, D.C., and to L.A. And once they're in L.A., they have to adapt to the local culture, particularly in L.A. where you had a long-standing Mexican-American culture of youth groups, you know, pachucos. The Salvadoran youth had to form their own group to protect themselves from Mexican youth or to have an identity against the other Latino youth. And so they create this gang called Mara Salvatrucha, which is a famous gang. And so, you know, they create this gang, and then, with the drug trade, they begin to get criminalized. It started as a kind of attempt to have identity for Salvadoran youth abroad, but it becomes cannibalized in a certain sense by criminal syndicates, and then it gets exported back to El Salvador. And they begin to found chapters in Guatemala and El Salvador and Mexico. And so you have these transnational networks of gangs that are operating very loosely across boundaries." [1]
        • "Hispanic Americans have become the largest ethic minority in this country, now at an estimated 14 percent of the population and expected to grow to 20 percent by mid-century." ... "Hispanic immigrants to this country are predominantly Roman Catholic" [2]

[edit] Jack Abramoff scandal

The political corruption case with Jack Abramoff and his political partners in crime, is but one example of the rampant (and rising) poltical corruption in many branches and levels of government. The Jack Abromoff case shows just how low politicians will go for money.

Important observations:

  • Its a warning that many national politicians are easily corrupted.
  • That this systematic corruption system often goes 'undetected' for a long time.
  • The precautions against politcal corruption in place today are not good enough.
  • ...
  • Jack Abramoff - organized crime operator with high political connections. He and his corporate clients and political executives used: sex (child slaves flown in from abroad), US based slave labour, extortion, money laundering, bribery, illegal gambling, conspiracy, tax evation, and murder.
