Donald Trump’s false comments connecting Mexican immigrants and crime
washington post ^ | July 8 | Michelle Ye Hee Lee

Posted on 07/16/2015 1:47:09 PM PDT by the_boy_who_got_lost

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

–Real estate mogul Donald Trump, presidential announcement speech, June 16, 2015

Mexicans have made their own country a cesspool of murder, rape, drug selling and people smuggling. Then they come to this country illegally, and every area where these squatters congregate becomes a dangerous place.

Our government hides their violent crimes, the drunk driving deaths of innocent Americans,the rape of girls as young as 12, by having ICE take them out of local jails to relapse them later. Texas is sick of this scum sucking up our tax money and making our cities dangerous. What a blessing it would have been to have Switzerland as our neighbor instead of Mexico!

Trump is alienating Mexican-Americans for no good reason.

If they're "Mexican-Americans" then they shouldn't be offended because they are legal. IDC if the illegal alien intruders are offended or not.

The major point of the Ann Coulter book is that the govenment is NOT REPORTING critical stats on illegal immigration.

This makes all these type of analyses ‘junk statistics’.

One area we CAN get accurate information from is the prison system however.

And the number of illegal immigrants detain in our prison system is staggering.

The U.S. and state governments reward them for coming here. Trump’s statement covers it up and distracts from the real solution.

Here is just a sampling from the Tri City Herald (Richland, Pasco, Kennewick) for July. At least 3 of the people in the articles are known illegals, the other two are hispanic:

Per capital basis for crime committed by illegals in comparison to native born is stratospheric The Washington Post is being deceptive. Illegals (overwhelmingly ) and non-citizens about 27% of in Federal penitentiaries are illegal criminals. Texas state jails gets many of it’s share.

http://www.alipac.us/f12/27-percent-all-inmates-united-states-prisons-non-u-s-citizens-251603/

“Some other startling fact were discovered, for example a whopping “37 percent of Texas border jails contain foreign nationals”, says Congressman Poe of Texas.”

I can do no better than to quote from Mark Steyn:

“...But here's the funny and consequential thing. Trump is supposed to be the narcissist blowhard celebrity candidate...[a]nd yet Trump is the only one who's introduced an issue into this otherwise torpid campaign - and the most important issue of all, I would argue, in that ultimately it's one of national survival. And so the same media that dismiss Trump as an empty reality-show vanity candidate are now denouncing him for bringing up the only real policy question in the race so far.

What he said may or may not be offensive, but it happens to be true: America has more Mexicans than anybody needs, and then some. It certainly has more unskilled Mexicans than any country needs, including countries whose names begin with “Mex-” and end in “-ico”. And it has far more criminal Mexicans than anybody needs, which is why they make up 71 per cent of the foreign inmates in federal jails. Just to underline that last point, a young American woman was murdered for kicks in a supposed “sanctuary city” on the eve of the holiday weekend by an illegal immigrant from Mexico. He had flouted US immigration law for years - or, to be more precise about it, local, state and federal officials had colluded with him in the flouting of US immigration law, to the point where San Francisco's sheriff actively demanded the return of this criminal to his “sanctuary city”, thereby facilitating the homicide of an actual citizen, taxpayer and net contributor to American society.

This would be quite an interesting topic to air in a US election campaign, don't you think?”

Mexico is a corrupt oligarchy with European decendants running a caste system of racism and discrimination. They are still pissed they lost the war back in the late 1800’s when TX left that pitiful state and CA was taken through victory by the U.S.

To hell with them and their “feelings”. To hell with people, like you, that put their “Mexican” before “American”.

I’m an American period.

A few years ago the state of Georgia made it difficult to get a driver’s license without proof of residency AND citizenship. Lots of illegals in the metro Atlanta area moved out.

After the changes to the licensing requirements the sherriff of one of the larger counties in metro Atlanta said that in less than a year admissions to the county jail were down over 27%.

The stats in the WaPo article are nothing like this real-world example.
