Immigrant Gangs: Pols still don’t get it
By Jon Feere, January 5, 2009

In their quest for open borders, many politicians still fail to understand the link between immigration and the growth of gangs.

The latest example is chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.) – who happens to have one of the worst records on immigration enforcement. In the next Congress, Baca plans to introduce an initiative to fight gangs. It sounds like a great idea, but if his past efforts are a guide, it’s likely that this initiative will focus only on prevention programs akin to the anti-drug program known as D.A.R.E.

The problem with this effort is that it in no way addresses the continuous flow of illegal alien gangsters over our borders. Congress could dramatically reduce the growth of gangs simply through better enforcement of immigration law, as illustrated in a recent Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder I co-authored with the Center’s Senior Policy Analyst Jessica Vaughan titled, “Taking Back the Streets.â€

But not only is Baca failing to be pro-active in reducing gangs through immigration enforcement, he’s actually making things worse by advocating policies that would benefit gang members: an end to workplace enforcement measures and a massive illegal alien amnesty

I hope that gang members set up their homes in neighborhoods where people like Baca live. Then maybe lawmakers will get the picture.

I don't think that they don't get it. They will let nothing interfere with their globalist agenda. They don't care what it is doing to us or this country or illegals. They are bought and paid for by corporate America.

not only do they not get it..... they are so far removed from reality on the ground they will never see it

It is almost time for the trials to begin
