That way they can focus on keeping their people from leaving and coming illegally to other countries.

I’m American, but both of my parents were born in El Salvador and immigrated here due to you guessed it, the gangs. They’ve told me horrible stories about them. For example, my dad had a cousin who was m*tilated just because he refused to give the gang his money. His remains were found on the side of the road in a trash bag. Because of stories like this, I thought I’d never be going to El Salvador. But recently ever since Bukele became president, the country had become extremely safe and you can go to many places now that the gang used to occupy. My parents recently took me a week ago, and I loved it! It was a really fun trip, and I’d recommend this underrated country to anyone reading this. El Salvador has truly changed for the better because of Bukele. Peace from an American teenager who is proud of her Salvadoran heritage.

Also, American interference in Central and South America has has tended to only make criminal elements stronger. Woke people have a point when they mention how the US interference had exacerbated these issues. Woke folx say there should be no limits to immigration but how comfortable will they be with cartels in their neighborhoods. Obviously not all immigrants are criminals but already cartels from Mexico have a huge presence in Southern California. Woke folx will probably stay quiet about it and just quietly crap their pants when these issues arrive in their neighbourhood

I too have never been personally exposed or witnessed it but that's by design, for you see with a tiniest speck of wisdom and logic I know to steer clear of that shit. I guess I ain't "hard" but I'm also alive and not always looking over my shoulder.

Fast forward to 2015 and I encountered a family who left under horrible circumstances as well. Truly horrendous. The violence, you just could not imagine. So I’m glad for the families who got out and even more thankful that their president is doing something for the people. This is saving lives.

[@jpteknoman]

poor people resort to crime and that crime leads to more poverty and the cycle goes on. trying to stop poverty without stopping crime is like giving money to a beggar, only to have other beggars jump him to take it away. stopping crime is the more brutal but realistically feasible approach that can open the way for honest people to start a business without fear which will slowly bring prosperity... as long as the state doesn't decide to become the new mafia.

Do not forgot that many things were not considered crimes during that time. There was no domestic violence or child abuse. Taking domestic violence and child abuse out of the equation is comparing apples to oranges. Same principle as reducing crime sentencing will skew the numbers of crime in an area. Changing sentencing guidelines is commonly used before voting to make incumbents records look better. I think the first real child protection laws came about in the 60's. I was born in 63, and the general attitude was to mind your own business. Child abuse had to be pretty extreme for a community to ask for enforcement.........and it also prompted more laws on the duty to report, because children died at the hands of abusive parents in spite of support structures knowing it was happening. Just saying that when using historical examples, sometimes there are factors that need to be considered before coming to a decision.

[@jodihouts6032]

@@anonygent The first child abuse reporting statutes were explored at a national conference sponsored by the fed dept of health, fed dept of education and the children's bureau in 1962. All other laws previous to this were all about child labor except for the outlier of Mary Bell which happened in the 1800's, but did not result in child protection laws for parental neglect or abuse. The child abuse prevention and treatment act didn't pass until 1974. I lived through these times. With all due respect, I think you are confusing domestic violence laws with child rights laws. Child's rights began with focus on working and education, and the discipline or abuse was considered a private families business. Of course people and local and governmental agencies would prosecute a child's death, but it was in the same context of murdering a stranger. Murder was illegal then too whether the victim was a child or adult, but many victims didn't get the help they needed when the family could cover up the death as an unfortunate accident. I was surprised in my research that the impetus in 1840 for day nurseries was partly to " prevent young children from suicidal acts from thinking of being unloved".

My family is from El Salvador. I was born here in SF. I lived there in 1986 when there was a civil war going on. it is sad to see that once the war was over crime and gangs took over. I am glad to see someone with balls taking charge and not taking any shyte anymore. hope that happens here.

[@ElYeyo1989]

If i was Salvadoran i’d be very excited and nostalgic about the future of that country. Finally something good happening and a little space to breathe in some hope.

[@TopLady29]

I'm Salvadoran and I always said that it would take a miracle to have me go back for even just one day, much worse ever take my kids. But seen how things have been changing with this president, I'm seriously considering taking my kids to visit the land and try every single fruit I told them about. Don't for get the pupusas!!!

[@timf2279]

People refused to be victims, and they have a president who hears their voices

@@TopLady29 That is beautiful.. I can sense the hopefulness inside you- just in the words that you write. Everyone wants to be free of fear , violence & crime.. A gift stolen from people of America. I fear for my young grandkids in this terrible new country we've become. Bless you & your kids Dear Claudia

[@kennethewald712]

THIS is the president we need! RESPECT!

[@Trancymind]

We salvadoreans are hoping for the next presidential election in the USA will be a republican who is strict that the law needs to be more respected.

Nayib, keep doing what you’re doing. You are a HERO!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 excelente my brother! The truth is that there is something far more sinister behind all who are in opposition from Bukele. How can some people not see he is putting lives over anything else?

[@huntclanhunt9697]

There is a small part of my brain that says "Being nice and gentle isn't working anymore. Time to go medieval." Anyone else have that?

I speak native level Spanish and English (I'm a dual citizen of Colombia and the US), the translation was spot on.

[@southbug27]

I have more hope for the future of El Salvador than I do for America.

[@barbaraboswell8086]

yes, and it is so sad. Our country was built on Principals of goodness and a love for what is right....weve lost that

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

Damn… that’s facts though. And that’s also why so many Americans are moving to Latin American countries. Mexico alone has nearly 2 million Americans living there.

[@michaelle8384]

America have 30 million Haitian more to come while American are moving out soon america is not America no more

Not only keep El-Salvadors foot on the gas pedal. They should add thrusters to the vehicle that is this Being Hard on Crime policy.
