Also, Hispanic gangs now span several countries, all American states, all American and Mexican prisons and are getting more organized and professional all the time. So are our own gangs. That's a different problem. That's not true......there is a direct correlation. First there are gangs that have multiple branches transcending Central America, Mexico and the US. Secondly, many of the Chicanos [Mexican Americans] who are in gangs are second generation offspring of illegals. This comes DIRECTLY from some of my experiences in S. California, where I lived in a barrio full of illegals. Studies show that people of a certain race/nationality don't crowd together because they want to... they do it because they're not welcome anywhere else. That may be true in some circumstance but it wasn't true in LA. First of all, its against the law to rent to illegals. Its an issue that seems to get lost with some people. They are called illegals because they are violating American law on several different levels. And there is a cost we are all paying for those violations. And its not true that they must remain in the barrio because of their race or ethnicity. I rented apts to Latinos all the time. But I would never rent to illegals even if it were legal.
