MS-13 in local schools

Anonymous
Anyone who denies the presence, and seemingly the increase, of MS-13 violence has his head in the sand.

Gang-related fights are now a near-daily occurrence at Wirt, where a small group of suspected MS-13 members at the overwhelmingly Hispanic school throw gang signs, sell drugs, draw gang graffiti and aggressively recruit students recently arrived from Central America, according to more than two dozen teachers, parents and students. Most of those interviewed asked not to be identified for fear of losing their jobs or being targeted by MS-13.

Although administrators deny Wirt has a gang problem, the situation inside the aging, overcrowded building has left some teachers so afraid that they refuse to be alone with their students. Many said they had repeatedly reported incidents involving suspected gang members to administrators, only to be ignored — claims supported by documents obtained by The Washington Post.

“Teachers feel threatened but aren’t backed up. Students feel threatened but aren’t protected,” one educator said. “The school is a ticking time bomb.”

Dozens of schools from Northern Virginia to Long Island to Boston are dealing with a resurgence of MS-13, which has been linked to a string of grisly killings throughout the country. The gang’s growth has been fueled by a wave of 200,000 teens who traveled to the United States alone to escape poverty and gang violence in Central America. The vast majority enroll in school and stay out of trouble, but a small percentage get involved in MS-13 here.

This is a lie.

And, for those who are, their parents were/are illegals and we failed to remove them.

Agree. And I am no fan of Trump, for sure.

Trump and the Rs are working hard on this, MS-13 and their victims will be kicked out soon.

Why expel victims? We should help them.

I'm a Democrat, but I support Trump 100% on kicking these type of monsters out of our country.

Trump has my full support in ridding our country of these monsters. I can't even believe there are schools like this - they sound more like jails. They should place undercover cops in the schools to arrest every last one of them. And deport those who are here illegally.

To be fair - nobody disagrees that we should deport violent gang members that are in this country illegally. But don’t kid yourselves that this is what Trump’s immigration policy is about. These MS 13 criminals make up a tiny minority of people that are in this country illegally.

But they should be sent back to the same tiny country as the people who victimized them? If MS-13 can track you and your family down in a huge country like the US, there’s not a drop of sweat spilled for them to find you in El Salvador.

Yet one more “benefit” of illegal immigration.

Read the WAPO article. Lots of this involves the unaccompanied minors. Prince George's had an influx of 5,000. That's hard to absorb.
