How could anyone in their right mind give support for MS-13 gangsters? These “animals” and “vicious killers” as President Donald Trump refers to them are being arrested, jailed and deported in record numbers. Their unabated criminal activity is the only way these ‘people’ can support themselves because nobody in their right mind would hire them to do anything positive or constructive so they sell drugs, commit robberies, rapes, carjacking, kidnappings for ransom and home invasions.

MS-13 gang members are ruthless animals — thugs who belong caged and forever removed from a peaceful lawful society. Weak immigration laws coupled with the insanity of sanctuary cities are squarely the blame.

News reports say MS-13 gangs exist in at least 42 states nationwide and the District of Columbia. There members are estimated to be in the 10,000 range – but those numbers are old. And yet liberal Democrats are sticking up for these worthless “animals” as if they had constitutional rights to be the thugs they are. Their support for these so-called ’people’ is disgusting and its contributing to their declining poll numbers across the board while President Trump’s job approval ratings continue to creep upward with the 2018 mid-term elections only five months down the road.

The Democrats are committing political suicide with their bizarre support of MS-13 gangs. They don’t seem to recognize how stupid they sound.

On Wednesday, President Trump held a round-table discussion in Long Island, NY – an area plagued with MS-13 gangs. Reports say some 25 killings in the past two years alone on Long Island are attributed to MS-13. In attendance were Long Island law enforcement officers, Trump administration officials and victims of MS-13 gang violence – mothers and fathers who lost a son or daughter to these MS-13 hoodlums.

“These are vicious killers and they shouldn’t be allowed into the country. The laws are horrible. We are bringing them out by the thousands,” President Trump said Wednesday. “As you know we are setting (deportation) records. This is a record I don’t even like talking about it because it’s so ridiculous. They shouldn’t be in the country … this should never happen. You heard (House Minority Leader) Nancy Pelosi the other day like trying to find all sorts of reasons they should be able to stay. These are stone cold killers. Vicious killers.”

President Trump also criticized sanctuary city state laws and the current lottery system allowing illegal immigrants and their families to enter the USA.

“They take people from a lottery here, can you imagine, these countries are not putting their finest in that lottery,” said the president. “Chain immigration is a disaster … Lottery is terrible.”

For those that don’t know, MS-13 was started by Central American immigrants — mainly from El Salvador — in Los Angeles in the 1980s. It has expanded since to include Hondurans, Guatemalans, Mexicans and other Central and South Americans. They have even been known to be in Costa Rica. The gang’s motto is “mata, viola, controla” which means “kill, rape, control.”

“They seek to live up to this motto through truly shocking acts of violence designed to instill fear: vicious machete attacks, execution-style gunshots, gang rape and human trafficking,” said Robert Hur, an official with the U.S. Department of Justice.

According to the FBI, MS-13 has tens of thousands of members across several Central American countries and they continue to enter the USA illegally because of weak immigration laws which enables their presence to be higher in liberal western states with sanctuary cities protecting MS-13 gangs from deportation and in liberal northeastern parts of the USA.

There is a movement now in California to offer all illegal immigrants free health care coverage estimated to cost $3-billion in new give-a-way programs. So presumably that would include MS-13 gang members. So when they get shot they have health care!

So go ahead Pelosi and sidekick Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) with your crazy rants of support for illegal immigrants such as MS-13 gangs. These two really are putting another nail in the coffin of liberal thinking that will be disastrous for the Democrats in the mid-term national election on Nov. 6.
