#22. Will the MS-13 murders and running loose on Long Island (Great Neck area isn’t it?) going to help the Republicans if they run on a law and order campaign (in part)?
I heard a crazy statistic the other day. Suffolk County is on Long Island and immediately east of New York City. You mention Great Neck, it’s in Suffolk County. Anyway, 40% of all murders now in Suffolk County are related to MS-13.
When I first got out of college one early job I had was in Westchester County just north of NYC. This was in 1998-1999 and there were constant stories in the news about houses in Suffolk County packed with 15-20 Hispanics living in them. Larger suburban homes with near 30 Hispanics and eight to ten cars parked on the front lawn. Those were fairly regular stories on the news back then.
