Obama admin knew gang members were part of illegal immigrant surge revealed by Whistleblower

The Obama administration knowingly let in at least 16 admitted MS-13 gang members who arrived at the U.S. as illegal immigrant teenagers in 2014, a top senator said Wednesday, citing internal documents that showed the teens were shipped to juvenile homes throughout the country.

Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said a whistleblower turned over Customs and Border Protection documents from 2014 detailing the 16 people who were caught crossing the border.

“CBP apprehended them, knew they were MS-13 gang members, and they processed and disbursed them into our communities,” Mr. Johnson, Wisconsin Republican, said.

MS-13 is notoriously violent, with beheadings or amputations by machete a not-infrequent punishment inflicted on those that defy the gang.

Scary stuff. Seems to be a lot of we're just now learning about the previous administration. I wouldn't want to be the person to run into any of these gang members. Now why would the Obama administration want to knowingly integrate dangerous gang members into our communities? That doesn't seem to be very good for the country.

Thankfully, Trump's trying to clean up the situation and deport them.

16 people? You think that's scary? 10,000 Americans were murdered by other Americans last year with guns and the gop does everything it can to protect these gun welding maniacs, even going so far as to let the mentally ill join them in gun ownership. The ironic part - Most of these murders happened in red States.

@eliminatorpaige: Everywhere will be liberal town by the time Trump gets through representing the conservative movement.

Stupidity is exemplified by your dismissal of allowing gang member into our country. The left would have you believe these invaders are all wholesome and as pure as freshly fallen snow.

Who on the left has said gang members are pure? Oh wait you're being hyperbolic and dumb, carry on sir.

@Solaryellow: first, don't know if is even true. Second, not dismissing anything, just pointing out that Americans with guns are monumentally more dangerous than 16 people who may or may not have done x or might not even be here.

Americans with guns kill more Americans in one year than all Islamic terrorists in the entire world do in a decade.

It only seems that way because Trump's administration has been doing and saying objectively incorrect things on a regular basis. When people call them out on this, they are called liberal by conservatives disillusioned by objective data. This gives the appearance of "bias" towards a majority the media as well, for simply pointing out facts which conflict with much of Trumps administration.

The shift toward super far right makes moderates seem "liberal" to partisan morons, and you're an example of this. Every forums outside of far right websites seems "liberal town" to you guys.

This falls in line with Trumps incredibly low approval rating. Are you saying a majority of this country is "liberal town"? Statistically it's more probable that moderates are seeing Trump in a negative light due to constant gaffs and poor policies. Not just liberals.

The morons on the left would have you believe these invaders (illegal aliens) are just great people looking for a better life and as evidenced by your reply, I see you get offended when the left is called out on bullshit.

@tjandmia The people (legal residents) who kill others are not germane to what the O.P. brought up for discussion. All it is good or is to distract and misdirect. Unless you are in ultimate denial this country has been subjected to gang members who have illegally invaded the United States.

You're still being dumb and talking in hyperbole bud. Try to use facts and logic with your arguments instead of seeing how many fallacies you can fit into one post.

I guess the liberal mantra is true: It isn't a lie if you believe it.

lol man keep being afraid of the mean ole' immigrants, sorry "invaders" comin here to rape your jobs and steal your women.
