Criminal alien gang members are growing in numbers in our
region around the country and wrecking havoc in my district and in this
very region. Without stronger tools to specifically target those
specific aliens--this bill targets them--that terrorize our streets,
gangs like MS-13 will then continue to grow in numbers and strength if
we aren't targeting them. The time has come to take action and provide
a path for deportation for violent criminal gang members. ICE has found that membership of these violent transnational gangs is
comprised largely of foreign-born nationals. Often bearing the brunt of
these gangs' violence are the very immigrant communities in which they
reside. They target their own communities. We have seen that in my
region and in my district, and that is why this is so troubling.
