And letting in gang members to this country (like Biden did) is healthy?

There are no units within the judiciary specifically mandated to counter organized crime, and corruption and inefficiency within judicial institutions and among politicians hinder the implementation of anti-organized-crime legislation. There have been steps to address these issues and to aid investigations into crimes perpetrated by politicians, security forces and gang affiliates, including one which resulted in the incarceration of ex-president, Antonio Saca, on charges of embezzlement and money laundering.El Salvador has a high number of people in pre-trial and remand imprisonment, demonstrating a deficiency in the processing of court cases. MS-13 and Barrio18 members are sometimes held in the same cells, resulting in the prison system being largely overtaken by gangs. Organized-crime groups maintain widespread territorial control and enjoy high levels of impunity, with limited resources, low public trust in law enforcement, and violence perpetrated by state actors hindering advancements. While raids by special forces have crippled the operational capacity of some gangs, they have also undermined the collection of vital intelligence. El Salvador is home to land and maritime smuggling routes for illicit drugs, humans, weapons and contraband. Its borders are porous, a situation exacerbated by limited resources, infrastructure and corruption.
