1) way to completely ignore that the allegedly racist voters in Virginia put into office a Black female Lt. Governor and a Latino Attorney General. Damn those racists...Well, you're right that preying on fear and racism sells much better than good policy. Watch for your next MS-13/immigrant caravan flare up between now and the mid terms.
2) Tell me you don't understand gangs without telling me you never worked with agencies that HAVE to focus on them. If you a) don't believe the caravans are a real thing, you have not been paying attention and b )if you don't believe gangs are real, then you DEFINITELY have not been paying attention. MS13 was becoming a threat and gaining a foothold in prisons even while Obummer was in office.
Somehow, I have a feeling you cannot look at tats and discern which gang someone is affiliated with. They have changed over the years as gang separation in prisons became a thing, with the tats being one of the big identifiers...Mexican Mafia was REAL easy while Texas Syndicate was something you occasionally had to look more closely at (but there was and is almost always a TS embedded in the image). MS13 has some other identifiers. Those that claim it isn't a real thing have never been on scene for the aftermath of a gang incident, inside a prison OR outside of a prison. It ain't pretty.
But meanwhile, we ALSO see the POTUS demanding illegal aliens be sent to places around the nation where they then continue to commit additional crimes while ALSO often being positive for the sniffles. And yes, they ARE additional since the first one was the illegal entry...
