Staging a press conference on this sums up the real commitment the government has on tackling this problem. Anyone with any street smarts can walk through an urban area in New Jersey and round up over 1000 gang members in the matter of an hour. In a 12 block radius.
Until these '1000 arrested today' news conferences are '10000 arrested today' news conferences, more gang members are entering the US than the US LE Agencies at all levels are taking off the streets daily.
And the 1000 will be deported, to spend a month on vacation, before walking back across the border.
