Many of the migrant children separated from their families have been under the age of 5.By Hilary Hanson
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) appeared to equate migrant children separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border with MS-13 gang members in a racist tweet Saturday morning.
Nancy Pelosi introduces her campaign committee for the take back of the House, Huckabee tweeted, along with a photo of men making signs associated with MS-13, a violent gang that began in Los Angeles in the 1980s. It now operates primarily in Central America and has members in the United States.

(5,790 posts)The Russian mob has been linked to trafficking, opioid distribution, and money laundering - and they have a reputation for being very brutal. Yet I don't hear squat about them from this administration; I don't see Russian emigrees being deported; and I sure don't see their kids being taken.

Its the same garbage. A few drunk drivers killing people, and a few violent crimes translate to a nationwide call to arms against the others.
Its just like how the gays are converting your children, the transgenders are raping women in bathrooms, and all Muslims are an unpatriotic security threat.
These Fascists are all scum!

(15,650 posts)he call himself a Christian. He is using this photo because he knows, as Trump has shown, that it will work. It will energize the deplorable, the haters. If nothing else, it will drive them to violence in securing a white deplorable America against tolerance and progressive policies.

(4,533 posts)There are 6000 to 8000 ms13 here. The gang started in east LA. How many arrive each year from abroad? I doubt it is even five percent. Hundreds of thousands come here. Ms13 is less than rounding error. Illegals in study after study are proven to be less likely to commit crime than native born. This is a fact proven with many different measurement techniques. Smearing them as ms13 is just like the blood libel used to make people hate jews.
