MS-13's History and Today's News
I know we had a blog post by another student about MS-13. But, I wanted to take the opportunity to add more to the conversation. MS-13 is a American born and based gang. Though the nationality that makes up this gang are Salvadorian-Americans and Salvadorian immigrants, but please do not think that every Salvadorian or every Salvadorian-American is apart of MS-13. So anyways, MS-13 is a gang that started in Los Angeles in the 1980s as a reaction to having fled El Salvador due to the civil war and civil unrest. The dreaded mention of his name, Trump...made a false claim that his administration has been deporting MS-13 gang members by the thousands back to El Salvador. He is wrong, I mean, when is he not? The FACTUAL number is in the hundred AND Salvadorian deportations are a very small percentage of people being deported (Talk about alternative facts and fact checking). But, now that an American-based's gang members (some of which are American citizens and therefore can not be deported back to El Salvador) are being deported back to El Salvador, it has caused a huge problem for El Salvador's security and economy. MS-13 members are extorting money from common citizens as a "protection tax". Not to mention, El Salvador is one of the smallest Latin countries that they can barely handle their own population, let alone the added immigrants (some of which are from Europe) and deportees, who the government has not been warned about any criminal activity or records. Here's a link to read more about the false, alternative facts stated by the ever so proud Trump and the real facts stated by a reporter who actually does her homework.
