I just want to share some pictures of the "mareros" (gang members) from

Central America.

Gang members who were deported started their own gangs, most notably in Honduras and El Salvador. Now there are thousands of them.

They want to recruit boys as young as ten. And girls live in danger from these men.

So if someone asks why the asylum seeking parents are risking so much, just show them these pictures

And who happens to be the #1 consumer of these drugs? I'll give you a hint: the same country that spent years intervening in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala.

We fuck up these regions directly AND indirectly and then to add insult to injury, we tear families apart at the borders. Families trying to get away from the carnage that we helped create!

Our fingerprints are all over that region, and not in a good way.

They experience abuse as children, just like the generation Trump and Sessions are creating now.

They are creating the election issues for Republicans in the 2040 election.

It looks like the putas guy has been bouncing around the internet since at least as far back as 2012. The slogan under his neck says "I don't trust anyone especially [demeaning name for women]," which is not exactly inspirational, but not as inanely anti-social as some mainstream US rap titles. In any case Trump's revival of MS-13 as a boogey monster seems really weird because to my knowledge it's been DOA for decades.
