URGENT 🔴 President Trump National Address from the Oval Office

Most members of MS-13 are Central American, Salvadorans in particular. MS-13 is defined by its cruelty, rivalry with the 18th Street Gang, and its origins in the Los Angeles undocumented immigrant community. 

The Trump administration and Republican politicians have argued that hardline immigration policies are necessary to combat MS-13.

MS-13 is paying smugglers to coach gang members on how to game the U.S. immigration system, teaching underage members to claim UAC status — and telling those over 18 to lie and claim they are underage — to try to gain quick, easy access to the U.S., government.

“They recruit young children, they train them how to be smuggled across our border, how to then join up with gang members in the United States.”
