    WaPo: Police: MS-13 members in Maryland stab man more than 100 times and decapitate him

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...d1e45a6de3d_story.html?utm_term=.37605c60fb9e

    The third suspect is accused in a different attack in another secluded part of the same Wheaton park.
    In that incident, as many as 15 assailants surrounded two victims, punching them, kicking them and striking them with large tree limbs, according to arrest records.

    These MS-13 people sounds like candidates for a hanging at the border after a public trial. I don't see how you could expect much in the way of reform in someone committing such heinous acts. They would even be dangerous to prisoners in jail with them.

    Why the border?

    Why are you feigning ignorance?

    Just trying to figure out the reason to take a Salvadorian guy who committed a crime in Maryland, give him a public trail, erect a gallows either at the Canadian or Mexican border, and then execute him. Doesn't make sense.

    come on, only Mexicans cross the southern border, you know that. All the central and South Americans take flights from Mexico City to Des Moines, or "the money" as it means in Spanish

    Pop quiz. Do most illegals enter the nation legally, or illegally? Let's just say it would make more sense, given El Salvador's location, to set the gallows up at the airport.

    I don't think the question is not whether most illegals enter the nation legally or illegally, it's really about how most MS-13 members get here. Seems like if they get here legally, that should be a pretty easy one to solve. Don't give them visas if they have any criminal records or known affiliation with gangs.

    I keep hearing that visa overstays now exceed illegal border crossings.

    But, there is no visa entry-exit program... so how do they know? (there was a bio-metric visa entry program, SEER, but Obama scrapped it)

    Now, about choosing the border to hang these people. I know it's intended to be a message to people who cross the southern border illegally, but the overall message to everyone else comes off as kinda racist. And, if the message is intended for MS-13, seems it would need to be clearer it is them that get hanged, and not just any illegal border crosser. Merely crossing the border, in itself, isn't a capital offense, after all. Right? Murder is.

    The message is simply that if you aren't a citizen and commit heinous crimes this is where you will end up, you could set the gallows up at the sea shore as well. I don't see this as racist at all.

    I don’t see it as racist. I see that if you set it at the Mexican border, that’s the message many of them will receive. In any form of communication it is as incumbent on the sender to ensure a clear message as it is on the receiver to ensure the meaning is properly understood.

    When you place an enemy's head on a pike on the city walls, you are not concerned about his country of origin. The message is "Within these walls (borders) life is dangerous for your kind"

    Ok, so I did some research and the number and percentage of "visa overstayers" is purely estimated. I can find no methodology for the estimate. In contrast, the number of illegal entries (border crossings) is also estimated, but the estimate is based upon the number caught at the border and estimating how many more were not apprehended.

    I also found these statistics from the Center for Migration Studies on WHERE the overstayers come from:

    Screenshot 2017-11-24 at 11.16.31 AM.jpg

    It shows that the vast majority of illegal immigrants from Central and South America enter illegally to begin with and only small percentages (Mexico has the highest percentage at 18%) arrive with visas and overstay. For the rest of the world, 99.9% are via overstaying visas. So there are TWO distinct populations of illegal immigrants who arrive in TWO distinct methods. It's not an either, or, it's a both.

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/03/06/us/politics/undocumented-illegal-immigrants.html

    tl;dr: Most (>80%) Central/South American illegals enter illegally (cross the border). Almost all (>99%) illegals from elsewhere in the world arrive with visas and overstay. Two different problems.
