Now, if the authorities could just apply the same efforts/attention to the organized home-grown gangs and group also plaguing retail businesses and residential homeowners, maybe we'd have something...

They are coming from countries that are granted visa waivers which allow visitors to stay in the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa.
But whether a non citizen crosses our border illegally or legally and break city, county or state laws by doing so they are breaking federal immigration law as well.
I’m not sure who’s committing the crimes in LA but local police have been complaining about an increase in crime since 2019 and crime in LA has risen by 40% since 2020. I’d wager much of that increase stems from poor control at the border or a failing judicial system.
