Nació en Laredo, Texas. Es de piel blanca, cuerpo atlético, rubio y con ojos azules. Su corpulencia física y actitud violenta le han valido convertirse en el principal pistolero del narcotraficante Arturo Beltrán Leyva. *** MEXICO.- Uno de los capos de la droga más violentos y más buscados en México y Estados Unidos fue detenido, informaron las autoridades y dijeron que Edgar Valdez Villarreal, alias "La Barbie", tenía vínculos con el crimen organizado en el centro y sur de América... ...Valdez Villarreal nació en Laredo, Texas, el 11 de agosto de 1973, lo que lo convierte en el único ciudadano estadunidense en la lista de narcos de cárteles mexicanos por los que el Departamento de Estado ofrece recompensa. Muchos individuos nacidos en Estados Unidos abundan en los niveles inferiores de los cárteles, pero el sitio alcanzado por Valdez Villarreal no tiene precedente. Valdez Villarreal, de tez blanca y ojos azules, estudió en la escuela preparatoria United High School, de Laredo, donde según el periódico The San Antonio Express News, era prácticamente una celebridad. La vida de Valdez Villarreal dio un vuelco el 29 de mayo de 1992, cuando estaba por concluir su último año de preparatoria, cuando fue detenido bajo cargos de homicidio por negligencia criminal. http://noticias.aol.com/2010/08/30/c...apo-la-barbie/ |
Exactly what use is it posting a news item in Spanish? Speak English.

I'll give the core info, and mix in content from an article in today's Press Enterprise (associated press). Give a little thought as to the national origin of individual writers. It says that Edgar Valdez was born In Laredo Texas August 11, 1973 and rose to become one of the principle gunmen for Arturo Beltran Leyva. Valdez has white skin, blond hair and blue eyes (PE says green eyes) (which is why he is called "La Barbie" I believe its a reference to the doll.) as well as an athletic body. He has a violent attitude. Valdez attended United High School in Laredo and according to the San Antonio Express News he was practically a celebrity. His life took a turn in his senior year with an arrest on a lesser negligent homicide charge. The Cartels have quite a few foot soldiers who were born in America, but the heights Valdez Villareal reached has no precedent. *** The PE article says that Valdez grew up in a middle class suburb popular with Border Patrol agents, police officers and fire fighters; his father was a nightclub and bar owner. Valdez is called "La Barbie" for his fair complexion and green eyes. PE adds that that Valdez was a linebacker in high school and a small time street dealer as a teen. Valdez's first arrest at 19 was a criminally negligent homicide charge for allegedly running over a middle school counselor while speeding in Laredo. He wasn't indicted. After that, he accumulated a minor rap sheet including DUI, public intoxication, and speeding. He was a small time drug dealer according to a former undercover cop. Valdez left Texas to work for the Beltran Leyva Cartel, living illegally in Mexico. He rose quiclkly through the ranks, becoming in succession Arturo Beltran Leyva's top personal bodyguard and head of the cartel's Acapulco operations. Valdez lived a life of luxury, owning expensive homes in Mexico City and a bar called Xxxotica in Acapulco. After Mexican Marines killed Arturo Beltran Leyva, a vicious war broke out between Valdez and Hector Beltran Leyva. *** It seems that some of the content in the Associated press article was a rip off from a wikipedia entry, there are direct quotes without attribution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Valdez_Villarreal |
Along with the witless name calling, you failed to the answer the question.
Was the dope-dealing scumbag an anchor baby? Were his parents US citizens? Pretty simple question. Anyone else care to give it a try? Here's another question, if he wasn't an anchor baby, then where did he become fluent in Spanish? He must have been fluent in Spanish, else he could not have run an organized crime syndicate out of Mexico. |

Have you ever been to Laredo? Give it a try sometime, stroll around the streets in both the barrio and on snob hill, you might learn something. Here's another quote for you: Quote:

Yet some more.
I don't think in his case it really matters whether this dirt bag is an "anchor baby" or not. He is a very smart, sophisticated, pathological criminal. An unusual person among any population... Quote:

Still nothing about his parents. Were they US citizens? How did this scumbag become fluent in Spanish?

Not much news.

Just look at his name. He is Mexican American born in Laredo, a border town. Certainly his family all spoke Spanish at home. For my trouble while surfing and opening various websites about Villarreal my computer was attacked and the attack was stopped by my anti-virus. Said it was a high priority, serious attack ! |

The name doesn't mean anything about what language he spoke at home or the national origin of his parents. I know a person from New Mexico whose family has been here since the Spaniards founded Santa Fe in the 1600s. He looks like an Indian, his brother is white looking and has blond hair and blue eyes. The style of Spanish they speak with their elderly mother long predates the Mexican Spanish brought here in relatively recent times. The account says he played football and became bilingual. Growing up in a middle class family in a middle class suburb and attending an English speaking high school, the wording suggests that he learned Spanish. Besides, I believe pandering media would have a lot out of his middle class parents if they originated out of Mexican poverty. How did I learn what Spanish I know? Some of it in school and the rest by being around Spanish speakers. As far as the father murdering the family, I believe that would be another story bundled with the search item "Edgar Valdez" + "family" result. He is described as coming from a nice family by an ex federal agent, his mother spoke with ABC last May, and the sensationalism of familicide combined with a notorious gangster would have been too much for the media to resist. Perhaps for once the media is leaving innocent relatives alone. Quote:
Was Al Capone an "anchor baby" and did he speak Italian? It doesn't matter in the scope of how he made his mark on history. This is the short explanation of Valdez and Capone in their respective times: Quote:

It is pretty suspicious to suggest that this guy learned to speak Spanish in high school well enough to run an organized crime syndicate in Mexico. Mexican criminal figures are very fussy about who they do business with and aren't going to keep some tourist from Laredo in power just because he speaks high school Spanish. The public needs to know everything about this guy's background and especially whether his parents were citizens or not and the circumstances of their presence in the US. Isn't this obvious? This is how bad its gotten. Don't fixate on the anchor babies coming under the public welfare system. A lot of these anchor babies who loom as this kind of threat, or worse, are growing up middle class, paid for and enabled by middle class pandering to illegal immigration. And when the illegals are themselves middle class, the problem has even worse potential. Al Capone's parents were legal immigrants. Al Capone was one of nine children who adopted a life of crime before he dropped out of school. Since his parents were naturalized citizens, he does not fit the definition of "anchor baby", which isn't to say he wasn't evidence of an immigration problem. He was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_capone Incidentally their is practically nothing on La Barbie at Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Valdez_Villarreal |

I replied "If I could do that, I WOULDN'T BE MARRIED!" Bad choice of words. Getting to the meat of your reply, perhaps you protest too much. :D:D:D If you're going to present a WIIIIILD assumption to "prove" a point about presumed "anchor babies", I can suggest an equally wild association to demonstrate the bigotry of assuming that the dispicable actions of one person is "proof" that barbaric criminality is inherent in everyone with Latin American ancestry - citizen or not. |
Your wife said it better than I did. When your wife tells you to go **** yourself, then she knows you better than I do. But I'll say it again.
Go **** yourself. You haven't got a useful opinion about anything. You are just taking up space and oxygen. I'm just asking for information, information that is glaringly absence in the news. If requesting this simple information qualifies as a provocation to you, then consider yourself provoked and ****ed. I'll ask again, to anyone else reading these posts. (Not you, ilbegone, you cockroach.) Has anyone heard anything about La Barbie's parents? Are they citizens? What is their history? Really, the public needs to know. |

Go to Laredo and look the family up. Don't be chickenshit afraid to confront them as you have stated should be done with people who fit your profile of undesirables. Go ahead, pound on their door. Tell us what you learn about them. |

What I'm really waiting for is for your hummingbird posterior to load up your alligator mouth for a trip to Texas to "confront" Edgar Valdez's family concerning their legal status. However, it's a safe bet that rather than gassing up the rig and heading out on a road mission, you'll just clack in another post. |

Well established crime figures like to set up their kids like they were middle and upper class heroes. They are football stars, get good grades. The Kennedy model. |

Some prohibition era bars in Mexico pay out protection money and pay employees cash or are closed. And there's lots of drug violence in Mexico. So, what's new? And not a one of those bars is in Laredo. Here's your train of thought: Corruption and violence in Mexico attaches itself to people with Spanish last names -> all people in America with Spanish last names are either illegal aliens or anchor babies -> those same are all barbaric criminals who smuggle cocaine into America and are responsible for hundreds - if not thousands - of dead people in Mexico. How about JFK's father with the same train of thought? Joe Kennedy (Edgar Valdez) runs to Ireland (Mexico) allegedly because Massachussetts (Texas) cops are shaking him down for bribe money. Winding up in a Dublin (Mexico City) Jail, Kennedy (Valdez) meets a booze smuggling (drug smuggling) Irish Capo (Mexican Cartel boss Arturo Beltran Leyva) who bribes them both out of jail. Kennedy (Valdez) stays illegally in Ireland (Mexico) and rises to the top of one of several gangster organizations, where he (he) murders indiscriminantly while smuggling booze (smuggling drugs) into the US until he is captured by Irish (Mexican) police. And everyone in the United States with an Irish (Spanish) last name is either deportable or a mass murderer. Or you can flip it over, and one of Valdez's bastard children will become president of the United States. Is that stuff over the counter? Meanwhile, you still have someone in Texas to harass concerning citizenship. |
The town of Laredo is clearly the key in understanding "La Barbie". Everyone concerned about illegal immigration should know our border towns very well, especially on the southern border and their history too.
Here is Wikipedia's entry on the subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laredo And here is some older discussion here at SOS on subjects where Laredo comes up incidentally: Top Five Most-Crime-Ridden U.S. Judicial Districts All on Mexican Border Mexican Troops Arrest Suspect in the Killing of US Consulate Worker MECha's Plan: The Plan of San Diego |

It's not hard understanding what motivates Valdez. He likes women, the good life, "respect", and the money to buy it all with due to a chance encounter with Arturo Beltran Leyva. If not for that meeting, he might still be in a Mexican jail waiting for someone to bribe his jailers. If you want to understand Ted Bundy, you don't profile everyone he went to school with. Same with Valdez. And if you want to understand a city you've never been to, it's best to go there and hang out for a while. Otherwise you'll just remain stuck in your basement clacking out proclamations and demands over the internet you have no intentions of involving yourself with. |
