What legislation is he talking about ?



“Americans must demand their lawmakers support the legislation we need to defeat MS-13 once and for all, and to ensure every American child in every American community can grow up in safety, and grow up in security, and in peace.”


I never heard of MS-13 before. I made a quick research. They seem dangerous, and involved in illegal immigrations.

Like any other day...

I wanted to know what was the relation between the gang and the way Trump is treating people who are seeking for asylum.

I feel like they are scapegoats more than anything else.

MS-13 is a dangerous gang, but so are many others. This is to scapegoat latinos. I remember one of the first photos the Repubs used to get public attention on MS-13, they had this bunch of really scary, tattooed thugs glaring at the camera. It turned out that picture was not from inside the United States, but some prison in Central America, El Salvador I think.
MS-13 is indeed dangerous, but this is basically being used to stir up anti-brown skin sentiments.

He's aiming a little lower now since he proved he could NOT defeat ISIS like he promised.
