Criminals next door (Salvadoran-inspired gang violence is heating up)

The groups are powerful and volatile enough to draw favorable attention from Islamic jihadists; news reports have described a recent meeting between MS-13 bosses and an al-Qaeda operative in Central America.

This is a very serious problem.

Predictably, law enforcers have tried to deport the MS-13 problem. But in many cases, deportation has been akin to a death sentence. Shadowy social cleansing groups in Latin Americaóincluding one called Sombra Negra (Black Shadow)óare active in murdering gang members once they return from the United States.

Sniff, sniff. Poow ickle gangbangers...

No, our President evidently doesn't think so. He must be right. He's never been wrong to my knowledge. < /sarcasm >

When it's important, we'll close the border. And until one of Bush's family members is a victim, it just ain't important.

Who cares about our family members? Oh well...

[68skylark]

This is a very serious problem.

Can you elaborate on your thoughts a little. It's hard for me to see how this could be serious, but maybe I don't understand the situation.

This country has tackled so many tough enemies over the last few hundred years, internally and externally, that it's difficult to see how a street gang can pose a problem.

MS13 is active in Hispanic communities in almost every state. They are extremely violent to the point that even other gangs leave them alone. They have shown an inclination to work with Islamic terrorists, this to me is serious.

[68skylark]

...this to me is serious.

By "serious," you're not saying they're a threat to the Republic. You're saying they're someone that we have to deal with. Right? I can agree with that I guess. I'm sure our police can handle it.

That guy in the picture with the tats doesn't look like a Mensa candidate -- what a doofus.

bttt

[wagglebee]

I think the only thing that truly threatens the Republic is the American left. There are other internal and external enemies, but they can easily be destroyed if necessary.

[ConservativeMan55]

Maybe not Mensa...but they might make him the next head of the DNC.

[ConservativeMan55]

I think the American left has helped foster gangs like this.

[Paleo Conservative]

I think we should build a federal prison in Alaska to put the Mexican gang members. Let's see how they like cold weather.

[Travis McGee]

Maybe not, but he will kill you without a bump in his pulse rate.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[wagglebee]

Here is how the El Salvador government deals with them!

[ConservativeMan55]

Wish we would do the same....

[wagglebee]

I've done some research on this gang, they are already in Alaska.

[wagglebee]

Wish we would do the same....

I'm not sure, it looks sort of "gulag-style" to me./sarcasm off

[Travis McGee]

That's where we'll end up, after a lot of pain.
