Strange But True: Senate Democrat Wants to Put a Stop to Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants

Story dated 01 June 2005

"U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson announced legislation Wednesday intended to curb the growth of violent street gangs such as MS-13, a gang with Central American origins that police said could be prevented from taking root in South Florida with focused action . . . The legislation outlined by Nelson would raise the maximum prison sentence from one year to 10 years for people who smuggle gang members across U.S. borders. It would also permit U.S. consular officials to deny entry visas for anyone suspected of gang ties"

It's not my idea of an effective, comprehensive border policy, but it's a start. Maybe Democrats will become the anti-immigration party in order to stop their rapid spiral down from the heights of power.
