CNN: MS-13 Members Say Trump Is Actually Helping the Gang

And several people familiar with MS-13, including two gang members themselves, told CNN they think Trump's crackdown on immigrants is actually making MS-13 stronger because witnesses are more reluctant to come forward for fear of being deported.

"I think it's emboldening them, because this gives them the opportunity to tell immigrants, 'What are you gonna do? Are you going to report us? They're deporting other innocent people ... (so) they're going to associate you with us by you coming forward,'" said Walter Barrientos, Long Island coordinator with Make the Road, an immigrant advocacy group.

But the Nassau County District Attorney's office said calls to their Immigrant Affairs Tips Hotline are way down in 2017.

"They [MS-13] feel like they can do whatever they want, 'cause Trump himself has made everybody fear," Alex said. "He's helping them."

I live in a suburb of Denver, and I know there are a lot of gangs in the metro area. I predicted that any attempt to force sanctuary cities to give up their illegals would result in a rise in gang membership and activity. It only makes sense that people would flock to a gang if that affiliation offers them more security.
Gee, way to think that one through to its logical end. Thanks tRump!
