Police: Immigrants Part of Pa. Coke Ring
HAZLETON, Pa. - Authorities have charged 40 people, including suspected illegal immigrants and gang members, with bringing cocaine from New York to this eastern Pennsylvania city, already a flash point in the immigration debate.

Officers had arrested about 33 members of the group, which is accused of distributing $31 million worth of the drug over three years, Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett said Thursday. The investigation is ongoing, Corbett spokeswoman Shonna Clark said Friday.

Investigators tapped phones and listened to hundreds of conversations between the suspected ringleaders and their customers, according to a criminal complaint. Undercover officers made numerous drug buys and worked with confidential informants to make the case, prosecutors said.

The ring hauled in more than $200,000 per week, authorities said.

Hispanic immigrants began settling in Hazleton in large numbers several years ago, lured from New York, Philadelphia and other cities by cheap housing, low crime and the availability of work in nearby factories and farms.

Last year, Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta pushed through a tough law that targeted landlords who rented to illegal immigrants and businesses that employed them. Dozens of municipalities around the nation copied the measure, but a federal judge struck it down in July as unconstitutional.

Hazleton, with about 30,000 residents, is 80 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

HAZLETON, Pa. - Authorities have charged 40 people, including suspected illegal immigrants and gang members...

Read highlighted word.

How is this different from..

PAFOA, Pa. - Authorities have charged LAMBO, SUSPECTED racist, brown people hater, and ignorant fuck who is constantly flaming the board with threads that nobody really cares about.

Did I make my point? Just because you start these threads to make all illegals look like scum, doesnt actually mean that you are reporting something that is factual.

Just like it may or may not be a fact, that you are a racist, brown people hater, and ignorant fucktard.
