Congress moves to halt onslaught of violent Maras gang (MS-13)

Nelson is worried about the coming election he's desperate for any TV face time.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I am suprised that our "leadership" has not yet conceived the brilliant idea of giving these people money to help them integrate into "Our Big Tent!"

[ImpotentRage]

Do you ever get the feeling that you are watching - helplessly - an implosion and there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about it? Sometimes I feel as if I am in a fog.

[Ramonan]

I'm tired of gutless wonder politicians. I was in Law enforcement for 30 years. It became so grating to see: Illegals not prosecuted because they either had no home address or they had not been "properly identified".
District Attorneys are political animals too. They often reduce charges against "minorities" to preserve their voting population.
Charges such as CCW with a criminal record, or a drug charge less than a ton of product get dimissed so that the crook would plead guilty--ad get released.

[inquest]

They want you to feel that way. Don't give in. They're powerful, but they're not all-powerful, and they know it.

[TERMINATTOR]

"working to gain the trust"

Translated from "compassionate" neo-con speak, that means... Ignore illegal invaders crimes, and reward them with bi-lingual benefits, citizenship, and a special priveleged minority status.

[layman]

Congress is going to solve the problem

Congress is going to deny paperwork ??? Great ... they're finally getting serious. CONGRESS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED!

[TLI]

This is the same congress that saved us from drugs and terrorism. I wonder how many more civil liberties we'll loose in order to control MS-13. Do we have any left?

NO.

[LibFreeOrDie]

"Nelson said there were between 8,000 to 10,000 MS-13 members in America now who might have ties to al-Qaida, the terrorist group led by Osama bin Laden and masterminds of the 9/11 terrorist attacks."

M-13's are already in East Boston, Massachusetts, home of Logan Airport...the same airport from which Atta and his gang departed on September 11. How much you want to bet that some of these M-13's have jobs there?

[Crawdad]

Congress should be very wary of these people. MS-13 will probably take out a US Senator, or one of the Senator's relatives. They won't need compromise, consensus, or bi-patisanship to do it, either.

[lodwick]

Do we have any left?

Not that I know of.

Until the PC crowd is removed from office, the "War on Drugs" will never work. Some American laws create recidivism i.e.; short jail sentences; plush jails; rights & lawyers for illegal aliens; look-the-other-way when jails are too full etc; gang members know the prison system is mostly a slap on the wrist and foreign gang members have studied the American Rule of Law and like the al Qeada, know how to use it!

Rather, make all jails hard time jails with no TV’s, computers, weight lifting equipment, an exercise that should be practiced at the handle end of a pick axe; inmates pay for their meals and lodging while incarcerated there-by lessening the load on the taxpayer. Granted, not all the convicted can be handled in such a manner, but for those that fall under the “normal” criminal, remove all comforts and put them to work, hard work. You will see recidivist criminals/gang members drop to near 0.

Calling Sheriff Joe Arpaio…………….

[yoe]

Perhaps I should have added a less than PC comment; sense all Drug Dealers deal in a deadly, illegal commerce – all Dealers have two choices; if they are illegal, brand them with another tattoo and send them back to what ever country they came from, forbidding them with the penalty of death, from ever entering the United States again. The American citizen Drug Dealer simply gets the death sentence, just like the one he prescribes with his illicit product! Burn the Poppy fields where ever possible, we did it to the tobacco farmers here, why not demand the Poppy be outlawed like the Marijuana Plant. Our lawmakers are just plain stupid and governed by Political Correctness, except when trying to collect taxes for black market cigarettes.

[Americanexpat]

These animals are not afraid of the police, they get their bones from killing a cop. make an enemy of them and they kill your whole family. They use a machete because no reasonable human being can comprehend the savagery of hacking a person to death.

They are not afraid of prison. The prisons in central America are battlefields between gangs. They take over the prisons. Putting them in American prisons is a joke.

Someone else posted here about creating another GD law when we already have thousands on the books not being enforced. Deport them, for what? they will be back.

There is one way to deal with this scum. The only thing they understand and respect is violence, kill them, hunt them down and root them out. If they move into a neighborhood then the citizens should have the right to protect their families and their homes. We have to get control of the problem.

[ImpotentRage]

I have NO intention of giving in, but there are times that "ballistic" comes to mind.

[shellshocked]

While your wife and daughters are being felt up and strip searched at the airport, the following gangbanger is free to cross the border, get a job at the airlines and work on the aircraft as he pleases. He may even help terrorists to plant bombs, as he has no love for America.

Your Congress and Presidential Administrations fiddling.

[Bullish]

Too little too late, to stop what will get a lot worse before drastic measures would be taken. Measures that would include securing the borders and mass deportations.

The #1 job of the US govt should be protecting and defending its citizens, but what we're seeing is only abysmal failure in that, their primary responsibility. Elitists don't have to live like the rest of us, in fear of gangs of criminals.

So I guess, to them, American citizens are expendable.

[WFTR]

Sometimes I feel as if I am in a fog.

On the contrary, the people in a fog are those who don't recognize illegal immigration as a problem and who don't see that we should treat illegal gang immigrants as foreign enemies who must be forced to surrender or killed.

[sauropod]

I can't take anything Nelson does seriously.

It's all words.

[HiJinx]

Man, take a weekend off and look what happens...
