This is me trying to dial it down a tad. The link is here: http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/trump-is-right-illegal-alien-crime-is-staggering-in-scope-and-savagery?f=must_reads
George Orwell once said that a principal duty of good people is to speak the truth in times of universal lies.
To say that, for example, Obama simply released over 30,000 illegal aliens who had been convicted of crimes ranging up to rape and murder–which he did– is not to say the majority of illegal Mexican immigrants are not law abiding, genuinely decent people just trying to make better lives for their families.
But a key difference is that whereas if they had been native born they would have REMAINED locked up, somehow under current policy the very fact that they are here illegally seems to be getting them special treatment.
And for every criminal there is a victim: there is a mutilated body or psyche. This article lists the details of perhaps 60-70 crimes–which include things like raping and burying alive an 8 year old girl–and the overall pattern of much higher rates of crime appears unassailable demographically, even if it shouldn’t be true.
But until we recover the ability to separate the politically inconvenient from the factual–until we tell the truth, no matter what it is–we will never be able to speak sensibly about anything, and most importantly, never be able to implement actually compassionate, actually sensible policy that works to help real people, and punish those who abuse the public trust..
