Gangs Behind Up to 80% of U.S. Crime
According to Jon Feere of the Center for Immigration Studies, their report, “Taking Back the Streets: ICE and Local Law Enforcement Target Immigrant Gangs,” concludes that “the growth of gang activity is directly related to the growth of illegal immigration. In fact, the most rapidly-expanding gangs are primarily immigrant-based. Up to 90 percent of some gang membership is illegal alien.”
Feere continues, “Many gangs are already playing pivotal roles alongside drug cartels, in some cases acting as frontline offense as they make their way into the United States. The bottom line is that the United States cannot stop the spread of dangerous gangs into our neighborhoods without addressing immigration. More enforcement and state/local cooperation with federal agencies is imperative. Conversely, anything that amounts to an “amnesty” would only benefit the gangs and facilitate more crime.
