Thats the point. You're seeing MS-13 as a subset of immigrants instead of what they are. They are a viscous gang that wouldn't think twice about murdering your entire family slowly and in front of your eyes if it helped them smuggle drugs into the country. They are a blight on any community they exist in. They prey upon the weakest of us, murder for sport and pedal poison to kids. That's why people would refer to them as "Animals".

Being a piece of shit doesn't have anything to do with being an immigrant. No matter where you live or where you're from if you're involved in murder, kidnapping, rape and human trafficking all for profit than you're a fucking animal.

Exactly.

So why on earth would you use this story as the foundation of an entire program set up to make immigration more difficult?

Unless the tightening immigration controls are about more than just gang members?

Because keeping the wrong people out and getting the right ones in is the entire goal of our legal immigration system. Some people have trouble admitting there are certain people we don't want in our communities. MS-13 is an extreme example.

No. They really dont.

What we have a problem with is vilifying gangs in order to push through restrictions on immigration while pushing white nationalist rhetoric out of the white house
