""MS-13 is an example," Harris said, "
of some of the worst of criminal gang behavior.""
~ U.S. Senate Kamala Harris, D-Calif
"MS-13 is among the largest street gangs in the U.S., with many members arriving from Central America. The gang's motto is "kill, rape, control," according to the newspaper.
"Let's stop the young people from getting caught in the gang pipeline to begin with, rather than just treating them as criminals once the gang takes over," the governor said at a news conference. "Let's not treat the disease, let's prevent the disease."
Cuomo said law-enforcement measures are important in tackling the gang, but stressed that more needs to be done to prevent young people from becoming "easy prey" for MS-13 recruiters.
Just last month, six alleged members of MS-13 were indicted in Maryland on charges of murder, conspiracy and racketeering. . . ."
