I bet Russian mobsters commit much more crime here in the U.S. than MS-13. Why are there no stats on that?

Stop watching FoxNews.

I am 1) not afraid of legal immigrants but 2) am afraid of machete-yielding gang members. You think they're the same group of people?

And I suppose the USA is also responsible for the Mafia Italian style? The MS 13 problem is hot wherever there are a high concentration of illegals/legals from a certain area. Back in 2006 Gerry Connolly was Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. He is now a US House of Representatives. His 2006 testimony: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CHRG-109hhrg29710/html/CHRG-109hhrg29710.htm Ms Eleanor Holmes Norton:

"But crime is contagious, respects no borders, and it goes from
northern Virginia to wherever it finds fertile ground."

So MS13 has been a problem. I know Fairfax County spends a fortune on education and despite votes etc and being Democratic we have been hard it via Obama's unaccompanied minor program. That program shows defined release by county and state. Fairfax County got the 6th highest in the nation. PG did get even more and Montco is close. It was a huge mistake to release them in concentrated areas. Plus there should have been no movement for residence. No control and it increased chaos and crime without any adequate compensation for schools, police, social services.

I did not realize that among US states, the DMV experienced such high levels of gang crime. Did you?

What should be done to address this problem?

We should not have people living here illegally. It should not be possible for them to get jobs if they are here illegally. No employer should be able to pay under the table. I certainly can't at my company, where I have to endure an audit every year.

Who are you talking to? Business owners are the ones who pay illegal immigrants, who give them jobs.

Can't let MS-13 compete with the Trump mafia.

OP, if you read the recent and very informative article in the Washington Post about MS-13, you would know that the majority of the crimes they commit victimize illegal alien communities, which are full of people afraid to go to police, before issues spill out into the larger communities.

I just wish there was a way to make it so that these people felt safe reporting crimes. Hmmm... Can anyone think of anything?

They listed 63 Virginia cases over a five year period. That's 12 or 13 a year. Worth addressing? Yes. Worth obsessing about to the detriment of other gang crime? No.

I also wonder, what are the chosen weapons of MS-13 members for murder, and are they at all different from gangs who are historically black, as I can't help but think targeted programs under the veil of gun violence reduction could significantly help with gang-related homicides.

I think that gang homicides often have gang victims, so that may be why it's not as apparent.

I think historically, MS-13 have overwhelmingly resided in DC-VA-MD, so it doesn't surprise me that MS-13 related gang crime is high/er in the area. If you're talking about gang crime at the hands of other gangs, the state-to-state distribution might be different.

Well, yeah. And yet, of the crime in the DMV, it's mostly not MS-13.
