FBI offers reward for alleged MS-13 drug dealer from Everett
By adamg on Fri, 09/09/2016 - 9:59am
The FBI is offering $20,000 for information leading to the capture of Efrain Vasquez-Yanez, currently charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and violating federal racketeering laws.
The FBI says Vasquez-Yanez is an MS-13 "homeboy," a rank normally only achieved by murdering or severely injuring somebody.
Vasquez-Yanez has evaded the feds since January, when he was named in indictments against 56 local MS-13 members, accused of several murders and more than a dozen attempted murders in the Boston area, including the murders of four teenagers in East Boston.
Vasquez-Yanez is a 34-year-old Salvadoran national with black hair and brown eyes. He is 5’7” weighs approximately 140 pounds. He has two tattoos on his right arm: one of the Grim Reaper and the other of a skeleton. And he's considered armed and dangerous.

Where's the neck tat?
C'mon, homeboy, get with the program!
Just like yours?
Just like yours?
Salvadoran national?
So what was the point of admitting him and his family into America? What compelling case did he or they make to our government officials who decide who lives here legally (assuming he lives here legally) to come here? Does he have a straight job in addition to his gang activity? Does he pay income tax on his cocaine income, or is he using the public services of an already overpopulated country for free?
Better question: Does MS-13 keep each and every one of its members happy enough to not dime out one of their own for 20 large?
Will, you common sense and
Will, your common sense and sound reasoning are not welcome in today's America. Come one come all! Who needs borders! Over stay your visa? No problem! The government doesn't track that stuff and you can just end living here permanently!
Do you know this guy personality?
What is the source of your info on his immigration status.
Oh. Sorry. You are obviously too busy with your "common sense" theorizing to deal with icky facts.
Ha, that actually made me
Ha, that actually made me laugh.
Regardless, do you honestly think this dude followed legal process to enter this country? And given his gang ties, do you think he passed screening to legally enter the country? Based on the information available about this guy and MS-13, I made an assumption. GASP!
Further, I'd like to hear your answers to each of the questions Will posses. Seriously. I'd love to hear it.

Not about "thinking honestly"
It is about "what really happened".
One is all about a nice Just So story.
The other? About stopping it from happening because you know how it happened because you did actual fact finding.
"reality" and REALITY are two different things - but one requires actual investigation.
And the reality is, as most
And the reality is, as most people will agree, a severely broken immigration system. There are many many stories from around the country(and in MA) were crimes are being committed by those who do not belong here and in many cases have been deported multiple times. Here are some examples:
This guy deported twice

This one deported 5 times in 10 years

Visa loophole/issues. There are a reportedly 500k "visa overstays" where the people cant be tracked.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/8/visa-security-loophole-ex...
The GAO estimates “criminal aliens” were arrested, convicted and incarcerated for 25,064 homicides. If non-citizens committed them over seven years, the annual rate would be 14.2 per 100,000 non-citizens. If illegal aliens committed them over four years, the annual rate would be 58.0 per 100,000 illegal aliens. Either way you compute, those are high rates.
By comparison, the FBI reports the murder rates for the entire U.S. from 2003 through 2009 varied from 5.0 to 5.8 per 100,000 inhabitants for an average rate of 5.5. To be clear, 5.5 is much lower than either 14.2 or 58.0.
Or look at the total number of homicides in those years. Per the FBI, there were 67,642 murders in the U.S. from 2005 through 2008, and 115,717 from 2003 through 2009. Per the GAO, criminal aliens committed 25,064 of them. That means they committed 22% to 37% of all murders in the U.S., while being only 3.52% to 8.25% of the population.
Conclusion: criminal and illegal aliens commit murder at much higher rates than all inhabitants of the U.S. – at least 3 to 10 times higher.

You started with some single cherry-picked points
And then you went to "American Thinker".
That's like believing a Borowitz article or citing Mad Magazine is God's honest truth!
Sadly, the only rigor you will probably ever know is in the casket.
conclusion
Thanks for citing the "American Thinker" (a far-right blog that obviously has an ax to grind), who misuses the GAO and FBI stats. Thankfully they link to their actual sources, and anyone with a rudimentary ability to crunch numbers will have a tough time getting to the numbers which they did.
Lies, damn lies, and people blatantly misusing statistics to frame an argument. Immigrants murder less, and commit nearly every crime at a lower rate than US-born citizens.
But hey, you can use anecdotes and false statistics to form a racist narrative. It is a post-facts world, after all.
And you can throw the word
And you can throw the word "racist" around in an attempt to demagogue and slander someone who not once mentioned race in his post. Feel free to make that assumption...it makes you look like a partisan ass.
It amazes me how much the word racist/racism and bigotry get thrown around these days. Want stricter immigration policies? Racist. Disagree with sanctuary cities? Racist bigot. In favor of stricter inner-city policing policies? Racist. Believe in Capitalism? Greedy bigot.
ok
You're right, it has nothing to do with the color of the people. I look forward to that Canada border wall, too.
Immigration Status?
I'm going to go out on a limb here...
MS-13, charged with conspiracy to distribute, attempted murder, wanted by the FBI, Salvadoran National...
There's a good chance he's not a US citizen.
Arrived in '85 you say
Daddy might have been one of our anti communist Freedom Fighter heroes fleeing the Sandinista takeover.
You know: one of those murderous torturers and thugs that Ronald Reagan declared to be "the moral equivalent of our founding fathers"?
Salvador
I've spoken with Salvadorans that arrived here in the 1980s and early 1990s. A lot of the gangs that were formed in the area were out of necessity: groups of Italian-Americans in East Boston would gang up on and attack immigrants, so it was a survival thing. And frankly, after fleeing a civil war, a handful of knuckleheads in an IROC-Z was a piece of cake. That's essentially how/why MS-13 cropped up in LA as well.
So basically what you are
So basically what you are saying is you have no idea how immigration in this country has historically worked? Hint: what you just described was pretty much the norm up until WW2. Well, except for the Chinese/Asians - they were excluded quite a bit (and exploited). The current quota/visa system is quite new (and obviously rather broken).
Would you believe...
So what was the point of admitting him and his family into America?
- He was 3 at the time and his parents came searching for migrant farm work.
What compelling case did he or they make to our government officials who decide who lives here legally (assuming he lives here legally) to come here?
- He was 3.
Does he have a straight job in addition to his gang activity?
- Probably not if he's reached some of the higher roles within the gang. It's called being the boss. Some people are just good managers.
Does he pay income tax on his cocaine income, or is he using the public services of an already overpopulated country for free?
- We're not overpopulated, you drama queen. Furthermore, over 45% of Americans paid a net income tax last year of $0.
Better question: Does MS-13 keep each and every one of its members happy enough to not dime out one of their own for 20 large?
- Happy? You don't need to be happy not to dime him out, gringo. You just have to like living.
Also, I have no idea how and when he entered the country. My point is that neither do you (or CCD). It could be completely innocent or it could be completely sinister. He may have joined MS-13 at age 13 or 30. He may have jumped a vacation visa or obtained a green card. I imagine if he has a real job they would have found him at his desk by now and criminals don't pay taxes. But then again neither do more than 40% of Americans who are given their tax payments back for all sorts of reasons, but that doesn't mean they're some kind of a drain on society...they are society.
So, your questions are dumb ones. Even if you crack the code of how this particular person entered the country and started doing illegal things that we now need to arrest, try, and likely put him in jail for, that doesn't mean you can use that to somehow stop the next criminal from entering...or entering and then becoming a criminal. You certainly won't have any more luck than determining who was born here but becomes a criminal that we have to take care of. So, rather than worry about the fact that he's from El Salvador (quick, do you even know what two nations El Salvador borders without using Google?), let's just know that when anyone (born here, or somewhere else) acts so criminally that they're wanted for federal charges, that we'll likely catch them (even if they've been hiding in California since they ran from Boston) and hopefully we'll all live better for it.
Kaz calling me gringo
LOL that made my day.
Also, I guessed Nicaragua and Honduras, so I'm batting .500. Gotta study that part of the map a little better. And I was in the Vermont Geo Bee finals in fourth grade, for Chrissakes. I'm gonna take a lap.
Hey Will
What was the point of letting your family in to the US? Can you prove that they came here legally? That every last one of you have never committed felonies?
Not like people of French ancestry ever ran illegal alcohol import enterprises in the Lake Champlain area or anything of that sort
My family
Two ancestors on the Mayflower. Nobody let us in, we just came.
Undocumented
Yep. Undocumented.
He looks like the guy that delivers my
Boston Herald.
It's hard, but try to keep it civil, please
I deleted a comment (the author knows the one). You can make your point without descending to the playground level.
nah
on the playground people like that got jumped, not spoken to
Seems to me like a grim
Seems to me like a grim reaper tattoo is just a repeat of the skeleton tattoo but with a cool black bathrobe. Maybe a bulk order deal? I don't understand it, but then again, I didn't see MS-1 through MS-12.
They caught him!!
...and he's been deported twice!!
Clearly something needs to be done about these POS's.
