So New Haven Connecticut gives Illegal Aliens ID cards in order to receive public benefits. http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/… Guess this is the Illegal Aliens way of saying thanks to CT.
I wonder if the Boston Globe will report this?
All you open border/Amnesty -Illegal Aliens supporters….coming soon to a city/town near you.
MS-13/Salvatrucha is spray painted on a wall in Everett near where I work. Been there for years but I’m sure Everett officials do not want to offend the Illegal Alien gang members so it will be there for a few more years.
I know, I know they’re all just here to work which might explain the relatively new Money Transfer place called “BrazTrans” in Everett(the building with the Brazilian flag and colors all over it), which I’m assuming you can send all your tax free money right out of the USA. Yea that sounds like something good for our economy. Ironically its on the same street as the MS-13/Salvatrucha sign on the wall.
For all you people who do not think Illegal Immigration is a huge if not the top issue facing America you better think again.
Yawn.
<
p>So because someone painted “MS-13” somewhere that is conclusive proof that illegal immigrants are ruining the country? Because it is impossible that punk teenagers or perhaps anti-immigrant scare mongers were behind this. Since no one has been charged, let alone arrested in this case, the title of your post is false.
<
p>And a money transfer place (with a Brazilian flag – the horror) is on the same street as a wall with gang graffito! Guilty – shut ’em down.
<
p>Illegal immigration is not the top issue to face America. And this post is baseless.
<
p>Wake me up when New Haven PD make an arrest. It could very well be MS-13, but wouldn’t you be embarrassed if it was a group of local White teenagers who were arrested? This vandalism doesn’t seem too far of from the MO of punk kids who go into cemeteries, knock over gravestones, and tag the place with swastikas.
…a serious crime, I’ll sit up and pay attention.
<
p>Your post is a mess, and it is impossibly to figure out what you are complaining about.
when people ignore it. Ignoring the “broken pane” is where it starts. I could write the laundry list of crimes committed by MS-13 gang members in these local cities, but I wouldn’t make it to work on time.
and graffiti is a crime.
<
p>Unless you can show otherwise, I suspect that it is at most a misdemeanor. That’s hardly a “serious crime”
<
p>…and it only gets worse (0.00 / 0)
when people ignore it. Ignoring the “broken pane” is where it starts
<
p>Ah, the William Bracken (sp?) syndrome. It was silly then and it’s silly now. Broken panes were an indication of the then current delapidation of a neighborhood, not the idea that the neighborhood was becoming delapidated. Nobody had the economic incentive to repair the panes. Over in our little town just outside of Munich, there’s a bit of graffiti, but no delapidation. The two do not go hand-in-hand.
and Somerville, Cambridge, Revere, Chelsea and just about everywhere that is a gate way. My husband is a public safety employee in one of these cities and it’s a fact. People have to stop pretending that it’s not happening…because it is.

…this thread isn’t about MS-13 in MA. The thread is about vandalism in CT. No one said gang violence isn’t a problem in the urban areas of MA.
where the author talks about Everett, right?
So what?
and the graffiti is an indicator of them. It’s not just graffiti on a wall.
MS-13 in MA is not exactly breaking news. ANd if someone is going to do a post on why illegal immigration is ruining our country, really, the poster has show something more impressive than MS-13 graffiti in Everett. The title of the post indicates the main topic is vandalism in CT. So really, what are we talking about here?
No doubt you will also post diaries whenever a gang of legal residents vandalize something as well?
<
p>The fact is that young people on the street with nothing else to do are going to get into trouble regardless of their citizenship.
<
p>There may be good arguments against giving benefits to illegal aliens, but this does not seem to be one of them.
