Many of the mail scams and internet scams come from South Africa and from Nicaragua. If you can get copies of the Banking Watch Lists, you'll find many Nicaraguan enterprises and names on those lists. There are many South African names on there as well. We have no protection from our government whatsoever. Our government is too busy in the Mideast to care what's happening here on our own soil. Or maybe Bush has already sold us out to China and the Arabs and they are ruling us through him and Cheney! It sure seems like he's more and more Anti-USA and pro everyone else.

Yes gangs of any type are a scourge to humanity.This is not indicative tho to any particular culture.Gangs are relative to the area they are from.How about Hell's Angel's? Not too many years ago people were up in arms about them.Just because these gangs are another nationality doesn't make them any less a criminal or any more a criminal than another gang.

Look at your own corrupt politicians (the same ones whom you complain are selling you out).
Little gangs are nothing compared to American political corruption.
Look in the mirror. You've got enough monsters in there to keep you occupied and horrified.

As a Nicaraguan who is in the US legally, you have lot of your facts wrong.
The same could be said about Dallas, Los Angeles, and other big cities around the world.

You can say the same thing about, Honduras, El Salvador, etc. Yes I agree the gangsters should be deported.

Are you Mexican - and trying to "pass the buck" so that others focus on other racial groups? Otherwise, I don't understand your singling out one single nationality...
The law either applies to all undocumented or none.

Send em here to S. Carolina.
You can keep a loaded gun in your vehicle in this state-no "license" required.
Plus, we have aligators in the swamps here for "disposing" of things.
