it's like a different place now. >> the activity and gangs have increased exponentially. the ruthless, brutal violent crimes that they are carrying out now is much worse than it was 20 years ago when we first saw the gangs emerging. >> laura: it's not just ms-13. this florencia-1300 latin kings, l.a., chicago has these problems. they are here now. it's an illegal immigrant based again, what you do? you find them and try to deport them, but it takes a long time and a lot of your manpower. >> we are not going to arrest our way out of this problem. we have to have programs that intervene and prevent these kids from joining the gangs in the first place. the platform that we work off of his enforcement and intervention prevention and education. if you don't have both, we are not going to be successful. >> laura: we have so much extra money to be spending and that to our american citizens. it is shocking. thank you for the work you are doing. some newspapers are better than others at reporting and actually "the washington post" has done a pretty good job of reporting this, we a
