East LA is populated mostly by Mexican and other south of the Border immigrants. Vast numbers of illegals live there and it’s a hotbed for MS-13 and other horribly violent gangs. Yes, USC is in the heart of it. Liberals have destroyed most of our inner cities and are in the process of destroying all of them.
USC may be a great university, but, how many of us would have 2nd thoughts about being in the ghetto to get that education???
