Addressing "economic factors" that leads to gang formation is irrelevant in the case of MS-13, because being illegal aliens, THEY DON'T BELONG HERE.

Getting rid of them IS NOT a matter of executive orders. It nèeds only the will to enforce EXISTING LAW.

By the way, "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" has become a code word for "amnesty for everyone who is now here illegally," which is unacceptable.

S744 addressed that as I spelled out. You said originally yhey all go, but were silent on law abiding, non gang members. 744 offered a path that was good for the country, and by the way not that easy.

That bill had the makings but politics again got in the way. That bill also addressed the border wall issue.

This is my frustration.....this was killed and conversation gets heated and nasty and loud.

So, now we will simply make up one rule at a time.....next guy in has different views...he makes a new EO throws out all the rules his predecessor put in place and we get nowhere. Why is there not after all these years have bi partisan discussion, as we should be doing on health care....I, me...not interested in a Republican or Democratic plan on any of this, but a bi partisan plan for the country.
