I must disagree. Note that the thread of the conversation is not about gangs in general, but about MS-13.
Although reputedly being formed in Los Angeles, MS-13 arguably has roots in El Salvador. In fact the S in MS-13 stands for Salvador, and trucha, which translates roughly into street smarts. The gang was formed by immigrants who had fled El Salvador's long and brutal civil war. Other members came from Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico.
And now, with the end of the Obama administration, the new law enforcement emphasis on
apprehending and deporting MS-13 members clearly discloses that the bulk of the members of this gang are in the United States due to illegal immigration.
If this were not true we would not be able to
deport them.
