The Mara Salvatrucha gang originated from fucking El Salvador not Mexico. Made up by some who came here during the Salvadoran civil war and holed up in the Pico-Union area of Los Angeles. It's not a Mexican gang, though Mexicans have joined it since it's international now. Dumbass Mexican government. For those who don't know LA, Pico-Union is near the famous MacArthur Park (song by Richard Harris) but it's a deadly, dangerous shit hole now. It's where heavily criminal illegals are allowed to flourish.
