"Street gangs prey on the neighborhoods in which they operate and they instill fear through intimidation and violence," said Julie L. Myers, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for ICE. "By partnering with other law enforcement agencies across the country, we are successfully targeting these gangs, arresting their leaders, disrupting their operations, and putting their members and associates behind bars."
Of the 1,759 individuals arrested during the surge, nearly 1,500 were gang members, associates or those otherwise criminally charged -- including more than 30 percent with violent criminal histories and 17 gang leaders. The remaining individuals were encountered and arrested for immigration violations during the enforcement action and have been placed into removal proceedings. ICE agents arrested 730 individuals on new criminal charges ranging from attempted murder, aggravated assault and drug and firearms violations to charges of re-entering the country after deportation.
"Operation Community Shield and the 287(g) programs have assisted us in making great strides in combating gang activity in our community," said Major Ramone Gilbert, Hall County Sheriff's Department in Georgia. "With these programs, we have seen a decrease of over 200 gang members in our area in 2008."

Don't know about all that but the actions of these few should be used to deport them and anyone associated with them who are also illegals.
Agreed. Those who aid and abet those of their race and familia because they think race trumps everything should share in the punishment of their criminal actions.

1759 gangmembers are arrested....out of 12,000,000...
yeah...that DOES prove they are not just hardworking people looking for a bettere life.
The actions of few always are to be used against the majority.
You are pointing at a single incident (out of dozens reported by JDub…), from a single section of time (...posted by her JUST this week…), out of many reported incidents (…and I'm sure she misses hundreds more that involve illegals!), to try to minimize the problem. Using the same tactic we can make any problem disappear.
12 homes foreclosed in Sacramento this week…….out of 50,000,000 Homes in the U.S. ……. What Housing crisis?
1 person killed by drunk a driver in Los Angeles yesterday …..out of 300,000,000 nation wide.…. No need to worry?
179 people killed in the genocide in Darfur this week…..out of 23,000,0000…..Hey no big deal?
Thanks AMC760, now I can ignore all the worlds problems with NO guilt or need to take action
But the reality is those numbers quickly add up over time to …
1,300,000 Foreclosures in the U.S for 2008…
25,000 killed in Drunk Driving Accidents every year on US Highways…

Get what I'm saying? Probably not.
She is not saying EVERY illegal is a gang member, assuming that is what you are implying. She is saying there is a real and serious problem that needs to be taken care of. You instead try to minimize each post of hers since if viewed as a whole it paints a damning picture for Illegal Immigrants. You seem to want to try to minimize the problem and have us all stick our heads in the sand.
