US Is Allowing Violent Gang Members To Enter The Country Because Theyâre âJust Minorsâ

Among the 50,000 undocumented minors who have entered the United States in the last 10 months are an alarming number of violent gang members, and some are even admitting it, Townhall reports.
Border patrol agents are expected to treat all minors the same, despite the fact that some have admitted to heinous acts of violence, including committing murder and engaging in gang brutality in their home countries. Some have admitted to being part of the violent street gang, MS-13.
âWe have six minors in Nogales who have admitted to killing and doing grievous bodily injuries. One admitted to killing as young as eight years old,â an anonymous agent told Townhall. âThey are being held for placement in the U.S.â
The National Review also reported that gang members are making shameless attempts to cross the U.S. border, and many are getting away with it because theyâre under 18. Border Patrol agents are not allowed to turn them away, even if they dawn gang tattoos or other obvious gang-related paraphernalia.
Chris Cabrera, vice president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 in the Rio Grande Valley, said the problem is only going to continue, because no realistic enforcement measures have been issued.
âIâve heard people come in and say, âYouâre going to let me go, just like you let my mother go, just like you let my sister go. Youâre going to let me go as well, and the governmentâs going to take care of us,ââ Cabrera said. âUntil we start mandatory detentions, mandatory removals, I donât think anything is going to change. As a matter of fact, I think itâs going to get worse.â
