Since there are about 5,000 members of the murderous Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang in the Washington area, it's hard to get too excited about the apprehension of 11 in the past few weeks. Still, the announcement Monday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have arrested more than 1,000 gang members nationwide so far this year is good news.
Originally intended to dismantle only the MS-13 gang, ICE's anti-gang initiative, Operation Community Shield, extended its mission in May to track more than 80 violent street gangs in 30 states. Almost all of these gangs consist of illegal aliens from Central and Latin American, though a few, like the Asian Boyz and the Jamaican Posse, reveal that the problem is global.
Of the 1,000 gang members who have been arrested this year, 90 percent have been illegal aliens. Suspects were caught in nearly every major U.S. city, as well as in the rural areas of Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska. "We're just getting started," said Marcy Forman, ICE's director of investigations.
Let's hope so. Street gangs now account for 93 percent of all homicides in which organized crime is the suspected cause, according to the FBI.

The biggest crime of all, remains that THEY GOT ACROSS OUR BORDER IN THE FIRST PLACE. Let us put the blame where the blame belongs -- Washington, DC.
Amazing that we cry about a war on terror..and demand
our young go off to war in foreign lands but we arent
protecting their homeland for them while they are gone
when we deliberately leave our back door wide open for the very same kinds of terrorists our men and women are fighting in order to save other nations.
There has to be a reason the globalists among us want the dregs of the earth to over run our homeland..
It has nothing to do with the sovereignty of America or the nation of our founders..
The enemy within
imo
I bet 95 percent of politicians know, or care.
Deport the lot.
BTTT

1,000 so far this year. Nearly 1,000 illegals per day cross into the US through my county. I wonder how many of them are of evil intent?
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have arrested more than 1,000 gang members nationwide"
But according to CAL/GANG, a statewide database maintained by the California Department of Justice, JUST IN LA Countywide ALONE , CAL/GANG estimates there are 1,108 gangs with 85,298 members. About 53,121 are members of predominantly Latino gangs, while the Crips, with 210 cliques, have 17,542. How many of these are illegel residents, who knows, but the number as many times greater than 1000!
Los Angeles recorded 291 gang-related slayings last year, accounting for 57% of the city's 515 homicides. While other types declined last year, gang killings increased 12.4% over 2003. Furthermore, 172 gang-related killings occurred elsewhere in the county.
Consider in Israel terror victims are about 200 per year from about 4000 terror attacks, while in LA in 2004 there were 291 Homicides and a total of 7,155 gang related crimes.
Population of Israel is 7 million while the population of LA county is 9 million.
However, a simple search for "Israel" and "terrorists" return about 3,000,000 hits on google, while "Los Angeles" and "gangs" return only 612,000 hits, OR ABOUT X5 as much as attention.
Not to minimize the problems of Israel, but where is our government and where is the press when it comes to addressing this sort of terrorism right here in our own home land !
The man in the White House has been strangely silent about that fact because he wants to open the borders even further. We're nothing to him.
BTTT
They wouldn't be here if our dear politicians hadn't invited them in. So we're suppose to clap our hands that they have arrested a few? With lawyers paid for by the citizens, they'll be set free in five minutes, and then the ACLU will sue for them.
The MS-13 members are an easy choice for deporation, and their destination should be straightforward.
Which country do you think we should send all the politicians to?
Cut their foot off then deport them so they can't walk back into the US.
Lets hope so! It would have been smarter and cheaper to have closed the damn border, in the first place.
Cut their foot off then deport them so they can't walk back into the US.

Make them WALK BACK all the way to the border, and then if they come across again, cut BOTH feet off. I have had it with this crap that Washington is DIRECTLY RESPONSBILE FOR!!
...Which country do you think we should send all the politicians to?...
China, back to their owners.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Be Ever Vigilant!
