Bambu, El Salvador had a Civil War from 1980-1992. The USA supported the Government of El Salvador, and the communists supported the communist rebels.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_El_SalvadorMany people from El Salvador came to Los Angeles to escape the Civil War in El Salvador, and the USA supported the good guys so some of the good guys came here to Los Angeles. These were soldiers that the USA trained and supported against the communists. The people from El Salvador who came to Los Angeles were good people who were our allies. The people from El Salvador came to the USA for a peaceful home and to live the American Dream, but they encountered fierce criminal street gangs in Los Angeles, the Black criminal street gangs in Los Angeles are some of the most violent gangs on Earth. The Bloods, and the Crips, and the other criminal street gangs are horrible, so the people from El Salvador started a new gang for protection, MS-13 started as a protection gang, to help the people from El Salvador to protect themselves from the Bloods and Crips and other criminal gangs in Los Angeles.
Also of note, is that is why it is important for people to be legal, so that the legal police can protect them, so that they do not have to go to illegal criminal street gangs for protection.
Please have mercy on the people from El Salvador, they have had a hard history, and they left a bloody civil war in El Salvador only to come to America for the American Dream only to be victimized by the Bloods and the Crips and the other criminal gangs in Los Angeles.
We need to do as we discussed about the "Dirty Dozen" plan, and send the prisoners to Ukraine to fight against the Russians, let them go fight against the Russians and be free instead of rotting in prison.
And we need to work for better Human Rights in the world, and we need for the United Nations to have a Universal Bill of Human Rights.
Poor Nicaragua has also had a hard history, and the USA supported BOTH sides in the civil war in Nicaragua, Carter supported the Sandinistas, and Reagan supported the Contras. We need to have mercy on the people from Nicaragua. They are some of the poorest people in the world and they have had a hard history.
Salute,
Tony V.
