These are the folks terrorizing Central America. Along with another gang (can’t remember the name of it).
This gang was literally born in the US- in Los Angeles area jails/prisons due to their policies of separating inmates based on race (not commenting on that policy- I assume it’s to keep order).
Again, that gang that was created here terrorizes the region. And the countries where they dominate are in a horrible place from a government standpoint because of our policies/meddling in the past. And how do we treat the folks that are fleeing for their lives?
We incarcerate them, and take their children away from them.
And because of Jeff Sessions policy to not use fear from domestic violence/gang activities, we’ve now decided that they can’t stay here- and we’ve permanently damaged their children on top of it.
I’m really ashamed that our country is doing these things. The Trump administrations actions were done strictly to push congress towards negotiating an immigration policy settlement. Folks that fear for their lives (including their children) have been/are literally pawns to push the president’s agenda.
MS-13 gang members are but a minuscule fraction of the asylum seekers. Trump is using his base’s/Fox News viewer’s fear of MS-13 to make people think all of this is OK.
And on top of it, they’re being extremely secretive about all of the details, and aren’t allowing anyone to see the details. And, of course, they have no plan, other than reacting to backlash from their inhuman policies.
It’s sick and twisted on so many levels.
In other words, if you’re using MS-13 as a false equivalency to the refugees, you’re wrong. That narrative is simply a way for Trump supporters to feel better about what the administration has done.
Behind all of this is thinly veiled racism. Or supreme ignorance. I doubt people would react this way of Canadians were pouring over the border during a crisis, and motorcycle gangs were the “bad guys”.
