From CNN:
Joining me is professor Al Valdez from the University of California, Irvine. “You were the chief of the Orange County District Attorney's gang unit. Explain the phenomenon here and what did these deported gang members take back to Honduras to make it violent there?”  “When we put our criminals in prison, it's like sending them to college. So we send them to prison, educate them college-wise and deport them afterwards so they're like gang professionals when they go out of these countries. Who are unprepared to deal with the sophistication and the activities. The countries are ripe, because there are no businesses there, no opportunities for employment. extreme poverty and gangs understand this, and use violence to take over.”
