[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t arrest or prosecute your way out of the crime crisis?! El Salvador dropped the crime rate by 70% in one year bringing murder rate en par with Canada. All we need is one nice super prison.

“Once known as the "murder capital" of the world, El Salvador underwent significant reforms that allowed the government to sweep up alleged gang members by the hundreds and shove them into a rapidly established super prison.

The prison, built in just months during 2022, can hold up to 40,000 people and has thousands of military personnel guarding it. Bukele made sure to share plenty of video and pictures of the prison and its first few thousands of occupants.

The measures, which ultimately swept up many potentially innocent men, led to a drop in the murder and crime rates over the following year. Salvadorian Justice and Security Minister Gustavo Villatoro claimed that the country recorded 154 murders in 2023, marking a 70% drop from the previous year.

That would account for a rate of 2.4 per every 100,000 people, which would potentially rank as the lowest in the Americas, apart from Canada, according to Reuters.”

They chased them out of the country. Those ones that didn't get caught fled to the US. Where are you suggesting we export our homegrown systemic issues? Canada?[/quote]

Who chose to let them in? And to what end? [/quote]
