Deceptions Debunked
Now, think about this: Based on estimates from survey numbers rather than raw data from legitimate sources, the American news media is trying to convince us that native and naturalized citizens are more dangerous than illegals. An analysis by the Heritage Foundation last year debunked Cato’s flawed work and suggested that “it has not been proven that illegal aliens commit crimes at a lesser rate than either native-born or naturalized American citizens. In fact, existing data may support the opposite conclusion.”

Heritage links to a 2011 GAO report that provides much more specific data about the criminal behavior of illegal immigrants. According to the GAO, criminal aliens (the government’s term) represent one-fourth of the total population of inmates incarcerated in federal prison. If estimates that there are about 11 million illegals in this country are correct, that’s only three percent of the total U.S. population. Further, about one-third of inmates in state and local jail are here illegally.

Aside from charges for immigration violations, nearly half have been arrested for drugs; 35 percent for assault; 12 percent for sexual violence; and eight percent for murder. (Only about four percent of the prisoners in the federal penitentiary have been convicted of murder.) So how does all this square with the blaring headlines claiming illegals commit fewer crimes than legal residents?

It doesn’t. The politicization of Mollie’s murder is coming not from Donald Trump or Republicans who have been accused of “seizing” upon this tragedy: It is actively being exploited by open borders advocates who want us to ignore the obvious implications of a young girl’s murder, and mislead us with phony statistics, name calling, and baseless tropes. (Nowrasteh astonishingly even makes this assertion: “Increased enforcement of our immigration laws is not a good way to prevent murders.”)

Right now, I assume none of this matters much to Mollie’s family and friends; she is gone forever and they must live with the knowledge of the senseless, vile way she died. But the rest of us have a duty to make sure our daughters are safe from criminals. It is enough for us to worry about the ones who are home grown: We ought not have to worry about the ones who don’t belong here. That means calling out bogus “studies” peddled by partisans who care not one whit about the dead children unintentionally standing in the way of their ideological open borders agenda.

It's impossible to have a legitimate discussion with liberals. You can ask over and over why they call Trump a racist and they have no answer. Same when they call him a traitor. No answer. Ask why a shooting that kills two people prompts an attack on Trump and his daughter because of guns, and with them trying to ban guns, you get that tired old argument that gun violence is Trump's fault. Yet when an illegal breaks the law, or kills four or five people or a cop/cops, they cry, "OPEN THE BORDERS". They cry for gun shops and gun makers to be sued, yet, again, they don't make a peep about the people hiring illegals. They don't sue people that sell and manufacture alcohol, they want mind altering drugs to be legal, have no problem with baby killers, don't sue phone manufactures that enable people to do all sorts of things while driving, resulting in people being killed by distracted drivers. They don't sure car sellers or manufacturing plants that make the cars that the distracted/drunk/high people use to kill people.  They want their "free speech", but don't want the right to have the same free speech or freedom of expression. Then they wonder why they are so despised.
