Trump tweeted, erroneously, that the Obama administration “allowed” MS-13 to form in America.
“The weak illegal immigration policies of the Obama Admin. allowed bad MS-13 gangs to form in cities across U.S. We are removing them fast!” the president tweeted.

I agree with the article, Trump WAS pretty erroneous when he Tweeted that. In what way did Obama allow MS-13 to form in America?
Or is this just another partisan jab to get people frothing at the mouth again? If I were a betting man I'd say it's just another brick being placed in the wall by Trump and his handlers.

Guys, the reason these gangs exist goes back decades.
It's because of our policy on making drugs a serious crime.
That's why it's so profitable that these gangs and cartels arise to handle the business of distribution.
To really solve this problem we gotta go reverse that policy and just regulate and tax it.
It's that simple.

Also, isn't California a liberal state, especially the Los Angeles area where these raids took place? Why thank Trump when his supposed enemies are the ones who made the moves to arrest these people?
At least two dozen locations were raided by investigators with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the FBI and officers with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Meanwhile a few dozen new guys took their place.
Oh, and I bet most of them will be outta jail at it again before the year is over.
This system is so screwed up, the only way to solve this problem is at the legislative level and will require foresight and clear thinking - something neither party Dem or Rep has currently.

I was always of the opinion that gun crime would be greatly reduced if we just executed those who committed crimes with firearms.
