The government of El Salvador has their panties in a bunch - they thought they could give their gang members a ride to the USA and we would put them on the dole. From The Washington Post:
Trump wants to deport MS-13 gang members. El Salvador is dreading their return.
The Trump administration’s push to deport more Central American gang members has alarmed officials here who fear that the returning gangsters could exacerbate violence in one of the deadliest countries in the hemisphere.
This year the U.S. government has deported 398 gang members to this country, compared with 534 in all of 2016, according to Salvadoran government statistics. This sharp increase in the rate of gang deportations — and the prospect of more gang roundups in the United States — has prompted Salvadoran authorities to hold emergency meetings and propose new legislation to monitor suspected criminals who are being sent home.
“This clearly affects El Salvador. We already have a climate of violence in the country that we are combating,” said Héctor Antonio Rodríguez, the director of the country’s immigration agency. “If gang members return, of course this worries us.”
You can see the bias right there - the Post's owner is Jeff Bezos and I love Amazon but he is a flaming progressive. Those gang members were already IN El Salvador before they moved to the USA. It is not like we are dumping some new population on an unsuspecting country. They had the problem originally - a result of failed policing - and we are just returning them to their own country.
