Somehow I don't think this is what the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) was implemented for. Offering assistance to a Gang of Blood thirsty Drug Rings, shows IRB needs to give their head a shake, and ship these Amigos back to Columbia, "Pronto" and leave them to their own devices, to do otherwise shows why Vangroovy deserves the name Nancyville, Canada as once again, our hard earned tax dollars and voices of stronger criminal laws and even stricter immigration reform falls on deaf ears. Once again, our Taxes are wasted and safety at risk because a few lefty bleeding hearts at the IRB put more premise on a Gang of Killers who would gut these lefty's like a fish without batting an eye than our Countries safety.

This photo of a tattoo on the back of Elmer Granados was entered as an exhibit at his Immigration and Refugee Board hearing as proof of his membership in the Mara Salvatrucha gang. The hand and fingers symbolize an upside down "M" and the SLS stands for his MS clique: Seattle Locotos Surenos. Granados will be in B.C. Supreme Court Feb. 26 for a hearing on a U.S. extradition warrant.Photograph by: .., photo submitted
They are brothers in blood and through their membership in the brutal Mara Salvatrucha gang.

They are both linked to shootings of gang rivals in Seattle.

And they’ve both been deemed too dangerous to stay in Canada.

Between them, Elmer and Jose Granados have snuck across the B.C. border four times in recent years to set up residence in Metro Vancouver.

Now both men are behind bars here waiting for separate judicial proceedings to decide their fate.
