Decent and balanced article on these animals here and the only one that brings up a reference to 80,000 MS13 members (in Central America). Restates the 10,000 number that seems more accepted. Some more interesting numbers and data in this article:

As I said in an earlier post, even one of these thugs crossing the border and adding to the misery is one too many in my book.
Also, learned today about another similar gang called Barrio 18 With an estimated 30,000-50,000 members in the USA.

And there’s apparently 1.4m people in the states who are part of a total of 33,000 gangs. That’s insane!
Mark, my advice might be to retract your claim above and be more careful in the future.
We all have a responsibility to be extra careful in the claims we make these days given the prevailing mood of society and the proliferation of fake news even in the mainstream media outlets. It will actually serve us well as a society.
On this site, as we can see from the above, there are two standards applied during these types of debates on this forum but it’s DaHams site so we play by his rules, authoritarian as it may seem.
I know that we can all misremember things that we hear or see (kind of the Mandela Effect) so chalk it down to that and hope that DaHamsta will be in a kind, forgiving state of mind tomorrow morning!
