"Now you've heard about America's most dangerous gang, the Mara Salvatrucha 13 street gang (MS-13). Remember the name. They are organized. They are deadly. And they're in your backyard!"

Good fences make good neighbors. Are you listening, Mr. President?

Heck, I know for a fact that MS13 operates within six blocks of my inner city high school. We've gotten police briefings on their activities, so we can be careful driving to and from work.

It is this reporter's opinion that while the nation focuses on terrorism, we have all but overlooked the issue of gang violence.

And that's assuming they're even two separate issues. A ruthless gang that operates internationally could well make itself a handy asset to terrorists for a price.

MS-13 got its start because the Boland Amendment didn't allow President Reagan to bring an early end to the raging wars in El Centro America.

Jim Wright of Texas

Lee Hamilton of Indiana

Edward Boland of Massachusetts

Michael Barnes of Maryland

David Bonior of Michigan

Robert Garcia of New York

And several others should be held most directly accountable for the creation of MS-13 because they are the guys who wrote and signed the "Dear Commandante" letter that gave encouragement to the Ortegas to continue the war and drive Nicaraguan and Salvadoran war refugees into the United States. The children of these refugees form the core of MS 13.

W and Vicente got it covered. What are ya worried about?

This gang has a zero tolerance towards informants. This is where it starts then they move on to intimidation of law enforcement, judges, and politicians. Stop illegal immigration now, the #1 issue facing America today. Vote Tancredo or the Constitution party before it is to late.

What is amazing is during the Clinton administration they had the FBI focus on "right wing extremists" while ignoring the real threat within our borders, gangs.

Now you've heard about America's most dangerous gang, the Mara Salvatrucha 13 street gang (MS-13). Remember the name. They are organized. They are deadly. And they're in your backyard!

I recall just a few years back, others thinking it was somehow funny that California seemed to be at the center of an invasion, that brought with it, gangs, drugs, crime and fraud and a lot of other unwanted things.

I guess those that thought it funny a few years back, no longer see any humor here.

FYI a friend of mine who works a local emergency room states that the "hispanic" gangbangers have swithced from killing people with guns to running them over with cars (and you did not hear this in the media). So somebody call Sarah Brady and her cohorts and tell them of this switch.
