Legal or not, they cause the greatest backlash against their own people, regardless of immigration status. It is because of this people seize on racism and associate it with other issues. The gangs fester and grow because we import dirt-poor people, adding to our own poverty level through immigration and illegal immigration. How smart is that?
Now you have kids of third world status growing up with people who are part of the American culture and are products of generations of hard work. These poor kids see the things these other kids get from their parents, and think they should have them too. So, they turn gangs and crime, because their parents have to work two or three jobs just to afford food, room and board.
It has nothing to do with a lack of culture, and more to do with a clash of culture and prosperity through family sacrifice. The kids of third world poor people want to make the leap to what took generations for others to achieve here. And, we import the problem.
Really, then why is the problem growing faster then it can be mitigated? I will tell you why, because those programs are band-aids on an arterial laceration.
Regardless of their immigration status, they are the roots of the racism that is directed at their people. Ignoring that fact, and saying we need to address the issues from that stand point is foolish.
And, insulting my political stance certainly will not endear me to your point of view, because it is wrong. This county is not made up of people from the right or left, it is made up of people who see this as a real problem. The simple fact is that Latino or Hispanic gangs are made up of a large number of illegal immigrants, or do you not read the news? You are politicizing the issue, and that is plain wrong and dangerous.
Did you know that less then five percent of the gang population in this county is related to a White Pride style gang? Asian gangs, though in the news, still are less then 10% of all the gang populations. Black gangs are also very low in this county. I am not sure of the state wide numbers, but I am sure that Latino/Hispanic gangs far out number them. And, Latino/Hispanic gangs are the only ones in this country that have embarked on a campaign of genocide, killing over race only.
Obama is a fool. He does not know what side his bread is buttered on. With over 12 million illegal immigrants in this country, at about 90% Hispanic, what kind of brush do you expect people to paint with?
We import the poorest, artificially lowering our poverty level to reflect that of the third worlds poorest immigrants, and causing severe problems in our society. People in this country never used to be afraid of hard work, but big Agri-business wants the cheapest labor they can get, and now you have a solution that does not work. And it makes it more difficult to bite the bullet when we have too.
