The 2018 midterm elections are mere days away. The American electorate has experienced in recent months the agonizing and viciously false statements by Democratic senators against then-Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. In spite of the unsubstantiated accusations by Doctor Ford, and the denial of the true facts about her claims by the Democrats, the news media, and the radical left — Judge Kavanaugh was confirmed.

Then, Americans have been treated to the questions surrounding a Saudi Arabian national and American legal permanent resident (LPR) killed in Turkey. The gentleman was a reporter for The Washington Post. His past is varied, yet never discussed by the news media.

Every day, the national news media publishes some Trump “scandal.”

A real scandal exists: that the Texas Democratic Party urged non-citizens to register to vote. Factually, the Democrats sent voting applications to non-citizen immigrants, which had the citizenship box marked “Yes.” The majority of applications were sent to immigrants in many Texas counties, including border counties, Starr and Hidalgo. No national news media is interested in this scandal.

Immigration has been identified as one of the main topics of this election cycle. Little has actually been discussed or mentioned in the election-oriented debates about the violent and dangerous trans-national criminal gangs illegally crisscrossing American borders. News media people and liberal talking heads ignore the trans-national criminal gangs, mainly because most of the gangs are Hispanic, such as MS-13, Latin Kings, Barrio 18, and many others.

Lately, Central American nationals and others have been illegally crossing the U.S. borders at the rate of hundreds per week. This fact has been under-reported.

Today, thousands of Hondurans and others are surging to the United States Southern border, some even carrying Honduran flags.

Among these surging migrants are criminals, anarchists, gang members, ideological and religious terrorists, children being used as decoys, and honest, decent persons. The surging thousands is a mob — plain and simple.

President Jimmy Morales of Guatemala recently stated his government has deported nearly 100 ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) terrorists who were trying to sneak into the United States through his country. Homeland Security (DHS) officials assert trans-national gangs are working with Islamic terror organizations.

Since 2014 Honduran President Juan Hernandez has blamed President Obama’s policies for his country’s northbound migration.

Many of the surge marchers will seek to claim refuge or asylum when they reach the United States, but the vast majority will cross the border illegally. All the migrants know that once in the United States there is little likelihood of deportation, as U.S. immigration laws are a mess.

If this present surge of unvetted persons accesses the United States, hundreds of thousands of future migrants will know that the United States borders are open and the country is without sovereignty.

The Department of Justice Organized Crime and Gang Section (OCGS) lists MS-13 as the number one trans-national, American-based gang.

It is basically a Salvadorian-American gang founded in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. The founders were refugees and admitted as such into America — young men of military age escaping from the Salvadorian civil war (1979-1992). The founding members/refugees were aligned with the Communist/leftist FMLN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) for their mutual benefits.

Over the years, MS-13 grew in membership, money, and illegal operations, as did their penchant for violence. The MS-13 motto is "kill, rape, and control." The "kill" of the motto is so violent that killing is not just killing a person, but dismembering the person or other destructions of the person’s body.

The "rape" is a part of control. The gang’s female members were rape victims.

The "control" is fear. The fear of indescribable gang violence to a person is such that it permits a person to grant a gang access to legitimate businesses.

Early on, MS-13 learned that money is the fourth part of its motto. The criminal gang leaders are not stupid. The gangs have flourishing businesses — legal and illegal — with educated members acting as financial officers and CEOs.
