MS-13

The racism charges against Trump loomed large when he accused MS-13 gang members of being scum and thugs. I think it was Pelosi who defended them. She confused them with her Mexican gardeners (they are Honduran). Because of Covid and the general hate Trump news 24/7, I missed this. "The president also reported that, during his first term, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported over 16,000 gang members and arrested over 2,000 members of MS-13.” If you don't feel safer now, you get your level 3 "Hate-Trump" patch for your brown shirt. Next, your black Antifa uniform. Why the Left want more gang members in the U.S., I don't know.

"President Trump and U.S. officials with the Department of Justice, including Attorney General Bill Barr, held a press conference Wednesday in the Oval Office announcing the arrests of dozens of high-level members of the gang known as “MS-13.”

General Barr revealed “Project Vulcan” as a sting operation which was launched as part of President Trump’s directive to “destroy MS-13” which Barr labeled “a death cult.” "

Whatever happened to MS-13

In early 2018, there were dozens of articles about the dangers of MS-13 in high profile publications. Over a decade before in 2006 it was estimated that each career gang member cost taxpayers $1.7 to $2.3 million in a 10 year period. The New Yorker reported in January 2018, "There are roughly ten thousand MS-13 members in the United States, and some fifty thousand spread throughout Central America, but the gang is diffuse and disorganized, grouped in a loose patchwork of local chapters known as cliques. Its members are ruthless—they rob, extort, and kill—but they have relatively little money to show for all their violence. . ."

When Donald Trump called MS-13 animals, and they were streaming over the border with caravans of illegal immigrants, Democrats were quick to call him a racist, even though the ruthlessness and cruelty of this gang of central American origin had been reported for over 25 years. Even though in 2012 under Obama, it had been labeled by the government as a "transnational criminal organization."  Now I hardly see a single reference to them.

That's how Democrats are chasing reasons to impeach. Run from one Trump imagined travesty to the next. From bombshell to bust, from racist to war monger usually in just a few hours . . .

Democrats and Never Trumpers (usually Republicans)

Can you be specific about what makes Trump a racist, Nazi and homophobe? I follow the news very carefully and have seen nothing. Now, Jussie Smollett they’ve got on tape, plus witnesses that he paid them, and even so all the charges were dropped seemingly because some rock star did something more serious and was charged with less. When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was asked on a talk show what were his impeachable offenses, she just stammered and bluffed. Nothing.

President Trump called MS-13, a gang from El Salvador (although I think it was formed by LA illegal immigrants), “animals,” because of the rape and murder (animals probably don’t do that except for food), although I’ve never seen the evidence—that’s what the MSM said, and I do believe that. Trump has been called far worse by prominent figures on the left. “Salvadoran police have been killed by the dozens in each of the past three years, most in attacks that investigators and experts blame on MS-13, an international street gang. At least nine officers were killed in the first month of this year.” (Washington Post, March 3, 2019)

Have you seen footage of the caravans on TV? Brown people? I’ve seen very few. Mexico is 60% white, and Central America a little less. The U.S. is 70% white, and Canada about 90%. And those “refugees” are very well dressed for a thousand mile walk and being supported by leftist non-profits in the U.S.

And what do you think about sanctuary cities being off-limits—that it’s “political” to send illegals there but not to small town America in order to turn red states blue?   Obama even bussed them to Columbus, Ohio. I think OSU students marched around the state house in joy. Oh, the Democrats are really raging when they find out illegals, including gang members, might be in their back yards instead of Texas, Arizona, or New Mexico. Do you think that’s political?

President Trump said there were good people on both sides of the destruction of statues of Civil War southerners in Charlottesville, and CNN cut and diced the video/audio that so it looked like he said the skin head protestors were good people. And perhaps you noticed, knocking down those statues didn’t satisfy the radicals—now they are going after Founding Fathers, and white men whose names are on universities—even going after Ben Carson, because he works for Trump

With only 2% of the population, Jews experience the highest rate of hate crime, and Ilhan Omar is ratcheting up the hate for Jews. Democrats are in hiding and not saying much.  She’s a Democrat. Trump’s daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren are Jews. If he’s an anti-Semite Nazi, he’s not very good at it.

Hate crimes haven’t gone up with Trump, except the hoaxes and the “resistance” knocking people down for wearing his slogan—the rate is actually lower than 2016 since more agencies are reporting than in 2016.

The president was in the entertainment field, so I seriously doubt he’s against gays, because they are very popular on TV and in movies and in the production and arts. It was Obama who pardoned the transgender guy who gave military secrets to the enemy.

Trump made a switch and is now pro-life (when he was a Democrat I suspect he was pro-choice), but I don’t think you all have made the switch to believing babies should be killed in the 9^th month of pregnancy, even if Bernie says it’s rare (how many is the right number? 10? 100?).

Go see the movie “Unplanned” the story of Abby Johnson who was a Planned Parenthood staffer and knows what goes on.

MS-13 in Maryland

“MS-13 is a gang composed primarily of immigrants or descendants of immigrants from El Salvador, with members operating in the state of Maryland, including Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Frederick County, and throughout the United States.  Branches or “cliques” of MS-13 often work together cooperatively to engage in criminal activity and to assist one another in avoiding detection by law enforcement.  In Maryland and the surrounding area, these cliques include ParkView Locos Salvatrucha (PVLS), Normandie Locos Salvatrucha  or “Normandie,” Sailors Locos Salvatrucha Westside or Langley Park Salvatrucha, Weedoms Locos Salvatrucha “Weedoms”, and Cabanas Locos Salvatruchas.  MS-13 cliques often combine and work together as “Programs,” with the purpose of increasing the gang’s levels of organization, violence, extortion, and other criminal activity. A person within the participating cliques is selected as the program leader.

To protect the gang and to enhance its reputation, MS-13 members and associates are expected to use any means necessary to force respect from those who show disrespect, including acts of intimidation and violence.  MS-13’s creed is based on one of its mottos, “Mata, roba, viola, controla,” which translates to, “kill, steal, rape, control.””

“Organized in local MS-13 units called “cliques,” the Maryland gangs put prospective members under long periods of “observations” before allowing them in. Ascension in the gang involves at least five rank designations, according to federal court records, with clique leaders using social media and coded words to stay in constant contact with superiors in the United States and El Salvador.”

The Washington Post article refers to crimes carried out many years before Trump became president, yet so many insist that there is no danger here—just prejudice and racism. Tell that to the families of the murdered men.

MS-13 in Columbus, Ohio

Here are the fine folks that sanctuary cities are protecting.  Notice, this designation as a criminal organization happened long before Trump became the president.

 

"In 2012, the United States government designated MS-13 as a “transnational criminal organization.” It is the first and only street gang to receive that designation. MS-13 has become one of the largest and most violent criminal organizations in the United States, with more than 10,000 members and associates operating in at least 40 states, including Ohio. In Ohio and elsewhere in the United States, MS-13 is organized into “cliques,” which are smaller groups of MS-13 members and associates acting under the larger mantle of the organization and operating in a specific region, city or part of a city. "
