The recent rise in unaccompanied minors illegally crossing America’s southern border in recent weeks has led to serious criticism of existing immigration laws and lax border security. While the influx is seen by many as a symbol of a broken system, however, a large number of Americans still believe officials should allow these children to stay in this country and reunite with family members already here.
A recent revelation by authorities might just change some minds.
According to an investigation by Action 4 News in Harlingen, Texas, underage gang members are being released without supervision into American neighborhoods near the border and beyond. San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez explained that such a policy could have tragic consequences in our society.
“They are not your average person that wants to better their lives,” he said.
The majority of these thugs are easily identifiable, according to the National Border Patrol Council.
Spokesperson Chris Cabrera explained “they are usually pretty predominant with their tattoos,” noting they typically display “a lot of face tattoos.”
