MS13 originated in Los Angeles as a Street gang to protect Salvadoran immigrants in the city. It expanded into organized crime in different Metro areas in the US.
In '04 there was a crackdown and members were deported back to El Salvador.

So when hardened US sociopaths began landing en masse, you can imagine what happened.

Jumped in (or killed) in El Sal
Trained and conditioned in the gang and away from family
Smuggled into the US
Build the operation further.
Get arrested/deported.
Jump more kids in.
Try to cross back over if possible.
And so on.

You've got a kid, maybe a few.
If they're boys, you're worried they'll be beaten and indoctrinated.
If they're girls, you're worried that they'll be raped, trafficked, or both.
And so, Mom and / or Dad, you decide to roll.

Some of the group die on the way. Others are preyed upon.
You don't stop in countries along the way: MS13 is entrenched throughout Central America at this point...
So you're off to the "Land of the Free!™️*"
*Restrictions apply
Horrifying. To never see your child again.

So you get caught. They take your kid(s) but at least they're alive.

You just pray they're safe.

Especially now.
Now...how is this OUR problem, #amirite?
During those crackdowns, those who spoke out were marked by their govt & forced to flee.
Guess where, as refugees?
they built up gang infrastructure in our cities, funded by government sanctioned drug trafficking and distribution.
When they got too big and dangerous, we shipped them back to El Sal.

Now HERES the ironic part (well, one of them):
There's about 10k of them across all of the US.
Now that's 10k too many, but that's also not a tidal wave of murderers, just boogeymen for the 🍊💩🤡.

Where we take their kids away.
And then accuse them of "child abuse."
