>How are they a group? What defines them as belonging together? Do you propose that all "youth" be subjected to the 3-strikes rule or tossed out of the country? I'll have to go back through the thread, but I was pretty certain that we were not talking about a generic group of people, but rather one that has some commonality other than crime.

The commonality should be crime, but you'll see there are more commonalities within the group of crime.
