Quote:The FBI report cited in the article linked by FBT was a study of gang activity in the U.S. In a country of 350 million there are an estimated 1.4 million gang members. In one section of the report it said 80% of the gangs in the southwest U.S. were illegal immigrants. Do the math. Out of 11 million illegal immigrants, how many are in the southwest and gang members committing murder and rape?

 

Well, the report did not even try to put a number on it, yet the article's author used it to justify Trump's remarks.

 

There's a big difference between "some" and "majority".

 

Let me ask you this.  Is the problem of gangs a real problem that should be addressed?

 

Is the fact that many of the most violent gangs are made up of illegal aliens a concern?

 

What about crimes not committed by gang members, but committed by illegal aliens?  It doesn't necessarily have to be a violent crime as in a shooting, a rape or something like that.  What about the drunk illegal alien that kills others while driving drunk?  Should that not be addressed?  Is confronting the problem "racist", "bigoted" or "fear mongering"?
