""It is also apparent that [foreigners] are members of many of the most violent gangs in America.""
"Over 631 gang-related homicides occurred in 2001, and by 2003, the number of gang killings had jumped to 819. In addition to homicide, gang members have been directly linked to the narcotics trade, human trafficking, document fraud, and VIOLENT assaults."

The fact is as percentage, illegal aliens commit more crimes than Americans. Illegal aliens make up nearly 30% of the U.S. prison population. California's prisons are overflowing with illegal aliens. California spends over $1 billion a year on criminal illegal aliens that are in jail because they committed crimes.

Approximately 27.5 percent of all federal prisoners are criminal aliens (illegal aliens and legal aliens who are convicted of committing a crime).

80 percent of the gangs are affiliated with Mexican drug organizations. If they take a life or commit rape, yes.

Well, it depends on to the degree of the violent crime. The punishment must fit the crime. If a man takes another mans life solely because they are in a gang and the other person has nothing to do with a gang, then yes they should face execution.

No, people in gangs shouldn't face automatic execution for violent crimes. Most individuals in gangs, although not all, are there because of their environment.
Think about it, say you live in some ghetto with nothing personally, you mom and dad work all day but can only afford to feed and shelter you; you see kids with new Nike sneakers, and you want them. It's not the greatest excuse, but it's an often used excuse. As poverty decreases gang retention decreases, and poverty increases so do gangs.
The reason foreigners make up more of the violent gangs is because immigrants are usually the ones that are least successful in any country; therefore if any opportunity comes up where they can escape that, no matter what the consequeses, they'll jump on it.
It is a situation that society has created for them; society didn't push them into it, but society could've prevented it.

no, not execution, but I think life in jail for homicide is an appropriate punishment. I personally am tired of the "slap on the wrist" punishments that our judicial system gives to criminals. It makes our country less and less appealing every year......It seems as though criminals are the ones who are getting all the rights, and the people that try to lead good honest lives are getting preyed upon, and have no way to protect themselves anymore.

No because that's not going to accomplish anything by committing another violent act. You oughta know more about this, unless you were too busy donning a strapless white gown that looks awful on someone flat-chested like yourself for a debutante ball that you didn't deserve to attend because you're only there because of your family's name. Besides 2 of your relatives are trigger-happy when it comes to putting criminals to death. One's a moronic fat-a*s who used to be Florida's governer and the other one is a dummy who used to govern Texas before stealing his two presidential elections.
