The Texas Department of Public Safety's "Gang Threat Assessment" from 2018 shows Tangos in Austin had “the highest number of arrests for homicide and sexual assault” and “continue growing at a fast rate and maintain the highest membership numbers among all Texas-based gangs.” The FBI warns Tango Blast works with cartels and ranks in the top three gangs for cross-border crimes, including child sex trafficking. “They are associated sometimes with the cartels that are pushing narcotics through the I-35 corridor, and into the city itself. They are associated with them, but we don’t see random acts of violence with [other] Tango Blast,” Lt. Rice said... Austin police records show 456 documented Tango Blast members in Austin... “If you compare it to San Antonio, which has 3,800, and Houston, which has 2,500, we don’t have a lot,” Lt. Rice said.

Gangs are proliferating at an alarming rate not only here in Texas, but in our big cities where these Illegal Aliens live. ...................................... Here’s a prediction: Since our supercilious government leaders are not ever going to address this horrendous problem, vigilantes will soon begin hunting down these thugs and assassinating them without any warning.

Partner, you are so correct in making these statements above.

The Riff Raff that we are getting thru our Southern Border is out of control rught now and our ICE guys are outnumbered all along our Southern Border. Our MSM loves these Illegal Alien Vermin coming thru our Southern Border.

Our Republican and DemonRat parties have been in agreement in wanting as many of these Illegal Alien Vermin into our country and these DemonRats and Republican Rinos do not like our Non-Politician POTUS, since President Trump did not accept one single penny from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, K-Street, Special Lobbying firms, and Special Interest Groups.
