Com cspan. Here is one of the write ups on the bill that passed the house on thursday in the Washington Post. It said they passed a bill introduced by representative barbara comstock, republican of virginia targeting immigrant members of the ms 13 gang. Billouse passed a expanding the authority of the federal government to deport or detain immigrants who are gang members or suspected of Gang Activity. A bill offered as a response to increases in killings perpetuated by the resurgent ms 13 gang in the washington region and nationally would allow officials to take action against suspected gang members, regardless of whether they have been convicted of a crime. The hill points out that distinctions in the bill, not just folks convicted of crimes, but those suspected of crimes. The hill right the bill writes the bill is the first immigration measure considered in the house since the Donald Trump Administration announcement that it is phasing out the deferred action for Childhood Arrivals Program over the next six months. Lawmakers sought to highlight the recent violence by transnational gang ms 13, which was founded in los angeles in the 1980s by immigrants who had fled el salvador. The something from Bob Goodlatte of virginia to. Criminal aliens joining International Gangs such as ms 13, which alone has over 10,000 members within our borders. Whether these criminals came to his country illegally, as unaccompanied minors, adults, or have valid these is or even green cards, it is time to send the message that this behavior will simply not be taller rated. Yet current Immigration Law includes no provision allowing for the removal of criminal gang members based on their membership and dangerous tanks or participation gangs or participation in gang activities and the result is an comfortable , ice must sit on the sidelines and wait for known gang members to be arrested and convicted of specific offenses before removal proceedings may commence. With many victims and witnesses to petrified of retaliation against them and their families to cooperate with police, many gang members are never convicted of their crimes the this legislation provides a crucial tool so that ice can remove alien gang members before they are able to extort businesses and murder innocent americans. 233175 onote was thursday. If you want to watch the debate, go to cspan. Org and the opposed says the bill was slammed on thursday and beyond by the the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the American Civil Liberties union which argued it would promote racial profiling, stott due process, and unintentionally affect clergy, who try to help gang members. Here is opposition to the bill from florida democrat val demings, the former police chief of orlando who spoke on the floor about why she could not support the bill. Of this bill with a broad, new definition of what nothingtes a gang has based on my experience on the ground, has nothing to do with curtailing Gang Activity. Vote forno way i would this law. As a former Law Enforcement officer who has been there on the front lines, because this law targets a group of people based on their status and does ,ot target criminal activity and that is what Law Enforcement officers do. Host part of the strong debate in the house, the house bill one idea on how to reduce Gang Violence. We want to hear what you have to ed, lawrenceville, georgia, is calling. Caller good morning. I think this thing has deeper consequences. Nohad 175 democrats voting on this bill which passed anyway. They do not the democrats have become the party of the illegal people that come into the country. Another thing that would help stop the violence is come every time people want to go and large , they and start commotion should not be allowed to have masks on their faces. They should not be allowed to have weapons in their hands. They should not be allowed to start fires. It is insanity. Host thank you for calling. Mike on the light from outside washington, d. C. , alexandria, virginia. Caller thank you for hosting this topic of importance. , why concerned for years isnt anybody speaking up about the appearance of gunplay throughout the day, 24 hours a day, inside every channel .

The minor part is the resolution of the problem. Model for youth to show the heroics of criminals. Host thank you. Looking forward to more of your calls. And your comments by social media. More from the hill, they write that the proponents of the bill said the changes necessary because it is difficult to convict gang suspects giving witnesses fear of retribution. A quote from congresswoman comstock, it will make sure that when someone positively identifies a gang member, they may act immediately and we do not have to wait until these brutal killers leave another body on a childrens playground, the hill writes that the bill would define a criminal gang as a group of five or more people whose primary purpose is to commit a felony, drug offense, fraud, or violent crime, importer or harboring people in the u. S. Illegally, or obstruct justice. A democrat from california responded, a Senior Member who said the broad definitions could apply to groups of people that are not really gangs and offered religious organizations offering shelter and assistance to undocumented immigrants as an example of what could fall under that definition. Sterling,w jersey, will computer the program. Welcome to the program. Caller good morning. I believe gangs are as american as apple pie, they have always existed in this country. The way to curb Gang Violence has always been building a more equitable society. With the movie gangs of new york, the way they curb the captioned by the National Captioning Institute www. Ncicap. Org ed irish gangs is including irishman in Proper Society by providing them jobs. The way to stop Gang Violence would be by making society more equitable, not by applying more force to the gangs. That is my personal opinion. Host what is going on in orange, new jersey or in that area these days with gangs . Is it a problem . Caller it is not as big of a problem as some make it out to be. Gangs i am 37, i have lived in jersey my whole life. People say gangs, you think of the west coast where most people will go to the gangs they had, the bloods encrypts, you have ms 13, the hells angels, the biker gangs, personally, when i was younger, on the east coast, new york, new jersey, more quote we will call groups or clicks. Nowadays, everybody calls everything a gang, if you see five people wearing the same type of baseball cap, that is a gang. It is used too much for everything is attributed to being a gang. , there was always gang mentality, whether the wild wild west, throughout our entire history, so we need to understand why people group up, accept one certain ideology and use it to attack another group. Once you understand that, you can understand better ways to prevent it. Host thank you for calling. More reaction for from ps love at twitter who asked all immigrants are criminals . Ors a facebook.

Host what do you make of this house built where they make the specific point that if you are suspected, you can be sent back home, as opposed to convicted. Of people do not understand that the Police Department have taken pictures of gang affiliated tattoos. They can identify gang members with those tattoos. Gangs, their only purpose is to promote violence and to make money from illicit means. I think it is a good step in the right direction. You know,olice like i said, is, they have gate the gang tattoos, they have gang forces, the police do, they know which gang members are violent and which ones to watch out for. Host a little bit of the president in july through spoke to Law Enforcement officials about cracking down on that group, ms 13.

If we are going to dismantle these Deadly Networks i have to tell you, the loss are so direct laws are so karen does the stacked against us because for years they have been made to protect the criminal. You do officers, something wrong, you are in more jeopardy than they are. The laws are stacked against you and we are changing the laws. In the meantime, we need judges for the simplest thing, things you should do without a judge. We have to have the judges quickly. We are trying to change the laws in the meantime and are working with the chairman Bob Goodlatte on enforcement measures to keep our country safe from crime and terrorism. Looking forward to more of your calls on the best way to reduce Gang Violence on this saturday.

Found thatrite up we said that he has announced a contingent of state troopers would be sent on a new incentive to combat gangs such as ms 13 with a Gang Violence prevention unit consisting of 10 troopers dispatched to 10 Suffolk County schools deemed high risk for Gang Activity. The Governors Office said the number one job in government is to keep all new yorkers, especially kids, save by partnering with schools to be better prepared to stop Gang Activity before it starts and end this cycle of violence. That from andrew cuomo in new york. The Washington Times says 30 of the legal immigrant children at the border have ties to ms 13 or other gangs. According to a study, they write that nearly 30 of the illegal children have ties to criminal gangs, the government released this back in june, suggesting the obama youre a surge of Central Americans have fed the countrys growing problem with ms 13 and other gangs and guessl officials cannot the true scope of the problem and told the Judiciary Committee in the senate that they can only give small snapshots of what they see but the devastation on communities across the country is clear, killings and chaos, particularly among other immigrants legal and illegal. That is the Washington Times from a couple of months ago but find it at Washington Times. Com. Omar from gaithersburg, maryland. You have experience with gangs, tell us your story. Caller i grew up a little bit around that environment and do beingink the narrative spun by the politicians is accurate. The example of the use, talking about machetes and leaving bodies on playgrounds is absurd. I do not think Gang Violence is nearly as large of an issue as they are making it out to be. Will never have any contact or issues with Gang Violence. It is kind of absurd to think that, we suspect that you may be in a gang and we will do for you. Support you. Deport you. Anyou apply that logic to american, and they were in a gang, does that mean you put them in prison . Host where are you from originally . Host i grew up in washington, d. C. And a 21 and go to the university of maryland. I grew up in washington, d. C. And m 21 years old and go to the university of maryland. Host what about the game getting gang . Caller i was not personally involved. Gang is an aggressive word. People join like how you have your group of friends. And amids get in trouble not saying Gang Violence does not exist, just that i do not believe it is this big scary issue. Oftentimes people join for protection, i am not saying that as a justification, but i think it is being blown out of proportion and it is nearly as dangerous as people are making it out to be. Host thank you for calling and sharing your story and your perspective. Tony from pleasantville, new jersey, you are on the line. Caller good morning, cspan. I totally agree with the last caller. Gangs havethis been in this country for years and i do not understand why donald trump is cherry picking certain gangs and people that they want to get rid of in this country. What about the biker gangs in california . They had a big shooting and nobody went to jail in california last year. What about the police . They are killing black people every day. Aint that a gang . You just saw what happened in charlottesville. What about these gangs in this country . Atoss the board, she got mad espn about consistency. If you will have these laws, they need to apply to everybody, i do not care if they have a blue suit, he talks to the police, everybody clapping, we need judges, if they are not going to apply the law equally to everybody, you will always have gangs and this chaos in this country. Because the idf white supremacy, he brought it to the the idea of white supremacy, he brought it to the forefront and it is what is causing the problem with isis and everybody. Host thank you for calling. Robert on the line from henderson, nevada, you have experience with gangs, what is it . Caller i am calling from henderson, kentucky. Host my fault. Caller i am a former los angeles gang member, an original member of the crips, 55 years old, and original member and in 1984 we came up with a program with anheuserbusch and los angeles when the olympics game, the year i moved to kentucky. We had a group of former gang members and gang members who went and cleaned up graffiti, cleaned up neighborhoods, the Summer Youth Program was a big avenue for many of us. It rescued a lot of us. If we were to bring back something for these kids to do, you have me and other people willing to share our experiences , if the resources are there. I do not wait, i volunteer, i have made my own problem in that program in program in kentucky and the city of los angeles worked with us in back then and in my own town, i have a consortium of volunteers. There are no funds to help. That is something we could do, work with police, work with parents who come to me and bring their children to me and i talk to them. Myt is my experience and experience with how to get people out of begins. Out of the gangs. Host what do you think he will of government should be . Speak about how the government should get involved, if it should. Caller the reinvestment act the banks have, if they gave up grant money, they could put it to communities like myself, organizations that are nonprofit, where they could actually go with these programs and work with people, through afterschool programs, they have funds to build jails, if they took some of that money and gave them to organizations like myself so we could work individually with these kids and give them something to do, i would assure you the gang rate and interest in gangs would go down because they would have something positive to do. Host looking way back in your own life, bringing it to present day, what do you think the draw is for a young person to join a gang . Caller for me, i had a good home, my mother died when i was young but there was no male, but i had uncles and individuals in the community that acted like my father. Sometimes you do not get camaraderie at home and there is a brotherhood that goes with it, people say i love you and they do not get that at home. Other, in theeach gang it was excepted. It was the togetherness people feel that would draw us in, particularly those that do not have that connection at home is what draws them to be gang life. Host thank you for calling. Cheryl on the line from las vegas who also has experience surrounding gains. Tell us gangs. Tell us your story. Caller good morning, a longtime cspan viewer and i have not called in years. I formerly worked for the youth Gang Services in los angeles, california during the height of Gang Activity. The crips and the bloods. I was calling because i was somewhat taken back with your thatous caller, stating you would deport gang members to their country of origin. Are we also speaking of asian gangs . Russian gangs . Other gangs of different origins . I was just taken back with that statement. When i sawtaken back one of your captions focusing in whatever. 3 or that is not sitting very well with me, i think it is somewhat racist. You, all of ask that being said, the question is what is the best way to reduce Gang Violence. Any thoughts on that . Caller yes, as the previous young man, i think all of this, gangs, education, it all starts at home. Love, iguidance and think consistency. I am 70 years old and a grandmother and a greatgrandmother. I raised my 28yearold grandson. He is not perfect but he was never a gang member. He is a college graduate. Father. I think it all begins at home. With me being a senior at 70 years old, my values were instilled in him. I think it all begins at home. And in our community. Host thank you for calling, we appreciate the folks calling in, especially those with experience surrounding gangs. A reaction to what the administration is doing, they are accused of falsely saying immigrant teens have gang ties and the aclu has filed a classaction action to alleging the Trump Administration is falsely accusing immigrant teens to supportivity them. Deport them. Filed a has classaction lawsuit alleging the trap administration is falsely accusing immigrant teens of gang affiliations and concerted effort to deport them. Here is what they had to say about the legislation and what the white house is try to do, the aclu filed a lawsuit against Jeff Sessions on behalf of young immigrants arrested by immigration and Customs Enforcement and classified as gang members without any evidence. It is a violation of the rights of minors that came to this country fleeing violence because of the color of their skin is already too common, completely unjust and unwarranted and we cannot let this policy become law. We are taking the fight from the courtroom to the halls of congress, it cannot be legal to be a latino or an immigrant in this country. We have louise on the line from florida. Good morning. Caller good morning. Like the past callers, i agree that much of it just it does begin at home and the atmosphere at home. Do not cut me off, i am not going offtopic. You have to go back to how we got here. You had eight years under george w. Bush that was a dead zone. He did not secure the borders after 9 11, this is true and people were coming in. You cannot blame the mexicans. President fox of mexico said he was handing out maps to his soldiers to show the mexicans the weakest spots to get over here. He said my people are doing the job even blacks will not do, a total lie. Cannot blame the mexicans but george w. Bush allow this and tax cuts to corporations not creating jobs. The kids i have a good memory, i am 75 but like the republican elephant, i do not forget. It is important. During the summer months, 12, 13 years ago, teenagers could not get jobs because even eagles have the jobs. Illegals have the jobs. They are looking for scapegoats and it will not happen. Thingsthat he is running , which i doubt, just a nifty suit, he will not help teenagers, he just cares about rich people. Are you coming back from the storm . Big we lost her. Think we lost her. , as a rose of bad drug laws, police intimidation, and escalation among ethnic ties types in ghettos. What do you think the best way is to reduce Gang Violence in this country . Segments later on defense spending, health care, and on the subject of addiction. Orer news, in the last hour two, from the Washington Post and other outlets, following a fastmoving investigation and british out of london, police on saturday morning arrested an 18yearold man in connection with an attack on the london subway that injured at least 29 people and what police are calling a terrorist incident. They say the man was arrested by kent police and a port area of dover on the english channel. A Police Official said this is a significant arrest and the investigation is still ongoing. If we hear more during this program, we would bring it to you. Here is what President Trump said yesterday about the attack in london when he was making an address at Andrews Air Force base. President trump i want to say that our hearts and prayers go out to the people of london. They suffered a vicious terrorist attack today. I spoke with a wonderful woman, british prime british Prime Minister treat theresa may, and relate our 70s and commitment to eradicating the radical islamic terrorism, it will be eradicated. Believe me. [applause] we have run several short pieces this morning at have sent you to our website as well. It is the 30th anniversary of the cspan Video Library. To watch that even with the president or any event that we have covered over the last 30 years, go to cspan. Org, whether 30 years ago or 30 minutes ago, find it at the Video Library at cspan. Org. More on the london story, the lead story in the New York Times says the remarks by donald trump on london riled the british, something he said earlier yesterday. They say that President Trump seized on the attack to promote his ban on travel to the u. S. By muslims and in the process ran afoul of britain by claiming without evidence that the assailants had been in the sights of the british police. An earlymorning tweets, he said the chaotic scene at the London Underground station as exhibit a for hardline policies, his ban on visitors from predominantly muslim countries he wrote should be far larger, tougher, and more specific, a statement that seemed calculated to mollify his Political Base after a week in which he suddenly began playing dealmaker with democrats on immigration. That donalds writes trumps assertion that the assailants had been known to Scotland Yard angered theresa may who said it was not helpful for anyone to speculate while an investigation was underway. That is in the New York Times. Topic, theon the best way to reduce Gang Violence in this country. Dave from henderson, nevada. Caller thank you for cspan. Though i have one issue with cspan, i have two things to talk about. One is violence. What is the Gang Violence. I do not understand why cspan brought up Gang Violence or illegal Gang Violence. It seems to me that the term immigrant seems never to be classified as one or the other. Legal talking about the the legal ilegal Gang Violence or Gang Violence . Host the broader topic is reducing Gang Violence, what got us interested is the house bill, have you been following it . Caller that was about ilegal Gang Violence, they are illegal in the first place and it does not matter if they are a gang or not. Either the Congress Comes together with a proper plan, this is offtopic, a proper plan to allow immigrants legally to come into this country to work, we need these people. We need them here legally. That is where i am looking at it. Host you said you had a second point to make. Caller a little offtopic if you do not mind, a lot of problems the Police Departments are having with communities is a lack of information. Herein henderson, here in henderson, they come on the news say that, tonight we have we are cracking down on people not wearing their seatbelts. Then they crackdown on people drunk driving. Or cracking down on people who are speeders. They never come down and say that, if a policeman says stop and you do not stop, you have a 99 chance of getting hurt. If you have anything in your hand, a 99 possibility of getting shot. When a policeman says stop and you do not stop, you will get hurt. I have never heard a Police Department expressed their expectations to the public. When they are involved with italy situation. I think the police have another issue, who becomes policeman . In your high school class, who became policeman . It is the bullies. 90 of the time. Host you really think that is true . Caller that is my thought. The police need to do a better job of telling the public what they expect. What interaction with them they expect. If you run from a policeman or drive away from a policeman, what do you expect him to do, let you go . Host terry in philadelphia. You have experience with gangs. Tell us your situation or your story. Caller i was with social services and catholic charities, a local parish, st. Lukes lutheran. We changed our name to Good ShepherdOutreach Center in parts of the worst neighborhoods in philadelphia. We tried to the whole problem with immigration and illegal immigration is that legal immigrants let their families try to reunify and they cannot come in and they come in illegally. There is no job for the illegal family members and they get caught up in the gangs. And then the gangs reach back over to come in my situation, serbia, russia, and the middle east with muslim illegals. Host with all of that, what is the remedy . What is the best way to reduce Gang Violence . Caller the churches are still trying, the gangs target those who come to the church to break the cycle of drugs and violence. Bathrooms with inton and bring the police an they asked why our programs are failing, intimidated with shotguns. The problems with the attorney general and the prosecutor of philadelphia. Cases get turned away. I stand up for the Police Officers and the counselors and social services and catholic charities. Works but we are only reaching 1 . Prayer, iaith and back Jeff Sessions and speaking and all of those steve king, and all of those who say we have to stop the gangs and the law themcement, i know many of take problems home with them. A man said, who are the people who become veterans and Police Officers, they are not the bullies, they are the best of our High School Classes that love god and country and want to help their neighbor to become better places. Host thank you for calling. Lets get other viewpoints with 20 minutes left. David writes on twitter that Gang Violence is a drop in the bucket compared to the daily toll guns take on americans society. Mildred from georgia. Welcome to the program. Caller thank you. Why are we always ready to forget the most notorious gangs that have existed, the ku klux klan. The area nation and the area ionion and the arian nat and the nazi party. Bill clinton brought in drugs in arkansas and ronald rugs Ronald Reagan used them to support the contra nicaraguan war. We talk about everything but something related to anything that allows White Privilege and entitlement at the quality. We will never solve the problem in america unless we face the problem. As long as we do not, we are teaching racism. We never we always target everyone except anyone that is involved coming from that particular place, White Privilege allows terror. I have been terrorized all my life. I am 84 years old. When a black child leaves home at night, you do not know if they are coming home. Instead of listening to the he put more, murders into the neighborhood. I have never called the police because i fear them. I have a reason to fear them. I have five black men in my family. It is a matter of record, they were killed in america by white men that never served one day in jail. Deal with reality of who america, america has always been a terrorist country. They want to do great everybody else and never say anything about the real problem. Host tougher shea your call. Appreciate your calling. John says some politicians would rather keep people suppressed and in gangs to get their vote rather than lift them up. The wall street journal and other outlets telling us that california is nearing a sanctuary state status. The California Assembly has now voted to approve a sanctuary built, moving the state significantly closer to and heating the trap administrations effort to deport Illegal Immigrants and it would limit local Law Enforcement with cooperation the federal officials and past 5026 and goes to the state senate for a final vote and then to the governor. The author of the bill and Governor Brown negotiated for several weeks and came to an agreement on a bill based before the state legislator deadline. It shows the deep political divisions over immigration a state struggle to set their own policies, even in california, a democrat majority state which offers benefits to undocumented immigrants. That is in the wall street journal this morning. Post reports a little bit about the administration and its lead story with the headline, a push to renew refuge drilling, the trap administration is quietly moving to allow Energy Exploration at the Arctic National wildlife refuge for the first time in more than 30 years , according to documents obtained by the post with a draft rule that will 80 groundwork or drilling. They write that the congress has the Sole Authority to determine whether oil and gas drilling will take place within their 19. 6 million acres and seismic studies represent a necessary first step. The interior department is modifying a 1980s regulation to permit them. Read more at Washington Post. Com. Jack from pennsylvania, good morning. Caller thank you for allowing me to voice my opinion on cspan. Biggest and most violent gang i am aware of is congress and we should dispense it by establishing term limits and the violence is because they are not able to provide health care for the nation. That is an actual fact. Not providing health care is violence. That is my opinion. Host karen is calling from washington state. What is the name of your town . Ithiqua. Ethi host is there a situation in your home state with Gang Violence . Caller i live outside of seattle and we have a gang problem at times, especially downtown and in the south part of town. Children in the United States live in singleparent homes and that is usually the mother, who has to work two or three jobs to make any kind of living and the children are not supervised. The older child is afraid the ,igger kid in the next block and these kids are running scared all the time. They have to do each others bidding or suffer the consequences. Also, the welfare system does not allow for the husband or the father of any of these children to contribute anything, or they get cut off welfare. The father either leaves the home or divorces the family and their left abandoned financially. I would like to see those laws changed and i have written to Maria Cantwell about it. Host do you think things will change . Caller i pray so, i really do. These kids need adventure. And our community, we had boy scouts and all of these different groups. Mountain climbing and skiing. Camping. These kids do not get out to any of those adventures. They are stuck. Host mary ann smithfield, north carolina. What is the best way to reduce Gang Violence . Caller i am a former mormon from utah and i raised a teenage son in the 1970s and 1980s. Wars i took them to all of the movies, first blood rambo and bought them toys from those movies. They would hang out in my living inm and i was active marching for era. I would take them with me to the marches and protests at salt lake city. That is all i can say. Doten to the teenage slang slang. Eddie murphy was the comedian then and he came out when they got off the vote boat host going to let you go. I think we got the larger point. Lets move on to adrian from abilene, texas. What is the best way to reduce Gang Violence . Caller my take is that, from a grasshopper level, you are thinking about kids, more poverty area, that have a lack of education. A lack of a means of taking care of themselves and it is easier for them. They are in a higher proper dust party area, two turns higher poverty area, harder to make a living, it is a lack of education, a lack of resources to become selfsufficient. I feel more emphasis should be individuals these and getting these individuals out of these places to wear w here that is the only way to survive. It starts when they are young. Stray them from that when they are young and give them an opportunity to have successful education and successful life, they are more likely than not to turn to different type of Gang Violence. Host thank you for calling. Bena writes the answer may multicultural programs that work with families and youth programs.

Just because we are doing it to animals does not mean it will not come back at us. In Gang Violence. If people would walk away from being desensitized. I have written these big shots but they all say, no, but they are worried about the toxic economy. That they are worshiping.

But the most effective way to reduce Gang Violence is to basically take away what it is to be a part of a gang. Is you know, they can sit there and say educate, educate, educate, but it is not just education. That will not solve everything. Host you are calling on the line with those experiencing ties with gangs, what is your experience . Caller i was a gang member for over 25 years. Host what got you into it in the first place . Caller my neighborhood and the friends and family. I did not really have a choice. I was automatically put into it at a very young age. Is, once you are in a gang, you have to be a part of the activity. If you can take away what it means to have those activities, what it means to provide example, the drugs. The majority of gang members make their living through crime and drugs. Again, it is not every gang member is a very violent gang member. Every 10 gangor members on the news, or on the street, shooting or being crazy, whatever, there are 20 other gang members who are doing very simple crimes like stealing things from the store. Host thank you for calling, down to our last couple of minutes. A couple of stories in the Washington Post and the metro section out of the university of virginia in charlottesville, one says a harvard dean has been picked as the president , a scholar of law and education he was dean of the Harvard Law School will become the university of virginias ninth president , this comes at a froth moment for the states Flagship School a month after White Supremacists march on campus during a weekend that descended into deadly violence.

Post. Coread more at the m. Our last couple of calls, john from franklin, tennessee. You are on the air. Caller hi. I wanted to say a couple of things. Ive heard anyone mention the Climate Change is one of the things driving all kinds of refugees and Central America. We currently have a president and congress not enamored with doing much about that. The second thing i wanted to say, as a psychologist, we are trained in research. The idea of being associated with somebody, that is correlation. That is not causation. If i said to you, what if you had an alcoholic in your family . One out of three people do, does that mean you will be an alcoholic . What if someone in your family has been to jail . Does that mean you will be in jail . We cannot say that. Those are things that are associated. There is a lot we could do. I have seen people i have worked with, i would say they are throwaway people. We have throwaway people. Throwaway families. And throwaway countries now. In this globalized world, we cannot do that. These things come back to want us. Haunt us. Who willdentify people be at a higher risk at an early age but we are not putting resources into these people. We are not putting resources into our Police Officers. I work with Police Officers. Police opposite are not well paid and have to work a lot of overtime jamaicans meet. To make into me. Ends meet. They are working under adverse situations and like we could do a better job with roy families and children and countries, we could do a better job with our Police Officers.

People coming over from Central America who by the way the Jesuit Society said 77. 6 of those people are not playing violence or anything else negative. Pictures they show with all these men inside an area, the majority of them have ms13 tattoos. 82 of our crimes are committed by Illegal Immigrants. 87 of Illegal Immigrants are hispanic. A lot of this has to do with low wages for our kids. Years, illegal hispanics have destroyed an essential face of opportunity for our 16 years old. Host thank you. We appreciate it.
