Newark Executions Have MS-13 Written All Over Them

Michelle Malkin does a tremendous roundup of news reports from the New York metro region over the past 24 hours, which details not only the horrors inflicted by the six suspects in the brutal triple slaying, but that the violent signature of MS-13 is written all over these crimes. Expect sexual assault charges to be included in the
criminal complaints against the six.

I have been stating that I didn't think that this was an immigration issue - and now I think I was wrong. The reason I am changing my tune is because of the involvement of the gang MS-13, which is a gang among illegal immigrants. Not all illegal immigrants are in the gang, but that is the base where it gets its support. If this was something that was done by this gang, it changes the nature of the crime and of the debate. An act of violence is an act of violence, and that is all I thought it was at first. An act of gang violence is something that needs to be discussed and part of that discussion would be the community that supported the gang. The community that supports this gang is illegal immigrants from Mexico and South America, which means that immigration is a topic that is going to have to be addressed openly in this case. In allowing them to break the law so openly by being here, are we inviting them to break other laws as well? A friend of mine pointed out that every law that goes un-enforced weakens every other law, because once you break the law and get away with it you lose your fear of the justice system.
