Miami Media reporting Trump says MOST Mexican immigrants are rapists & murderers

Posted on 07/09/2015 5:46:09 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Noticing how LOCAL news is portraying Donald Trump's words at his campaign launch a couple weeks ago.

Trump was speaking about ILLEGAL ALIENS and the criminal element within....The VIOLENT criminal element....

Now, at least one of the Miami TV stations is reporting that Trump says MOST MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS are rapists and murderers...a COMPLETE misrepresentation of his comments.

WFOR, WPLG, WSVN and WTVJ are the English speaking stations in Miami.....you would think since Trump owns the Doral golf course, and does lots of business in Florida, they'd make an effort to accurately report his statements.

This is the liberal media with their liberal goals. Are you serious? Accurate reporting? Its a propaganda machine. Nah.

Trump is wrong! ALL OF THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE CRIMINALS.

As soon as they crossed our border illegally, they broke a federal law as soon as their foot touched American soil.

Back in the past they would have been arrested and immediately deported. Today, they are treated as returning heroes from the war on the American way of life.

What is a criminal? Simple...one who commits a crime no matter how trivial or severe.

As soon as they attach themselves to the teat of government they will become the maggots that will invade their host and eventually kill it...which is happening as I write this note.

Obama’s destruction of the America has reached the point of critical mass and the seeds of complete overthrow are currently being planted as illegals who have come here without any fear of reprisal...and who will vote (legally or not) for the Democrat cause simply to ensure a perpetual flow of milk from the government teat.

They move into our neighborhoods and the rot begins. They have no intention in integrating into our society and as an example of that, come to the states that border Mexico and you will think you ARE in Mexico. The lifestyles, music, language, morals, values...etc. are of their culture...not the American culture.

“Trump was speaking about ILLEGAL ALIENS and the criminal element within....The VIOLENT criminal element.... “

Correct

And the people who love misrepresenting this kind of statement would have us believe even though THEY cannot say how many undocumented aliens are here (or how many are anticipated...) that it’s possible to single out the criminals from THAT undifferentiated mass.

That’s like trying to kill an ant with a bowling ball. The LOGICAL way to detain and refuse entry to criminals is to ENFORCE BORDER LAWS to begin with.

Why is this SO complicated.

When my grandparents came here in the early 1920’s, they weren’t letting just anyone in. They had to be healthy and ‘teachable’ (so they could learn enough English to VOTE).

It worked. These immigrants WERE documented, able bodied, teachable, ready and willing to assimilate. THEY understood the give-and-take!!

Trump will end up driving the pack to the right and kill Tokyo Dove’s plans to put another Bush in the White House thereby serving a genuine purpose.

Trump doesn’t speak very well and “some are good folks” makes it seem he is saying the majority are not. He also said immigrants not illegal immigrants but I assume he later made it clear or it was clear from the context that he was talking about illegal immigrants. Still he needs to learn to speak more clearly.

If you read the transcript, he IMMEDIATELY relates his conversations with border guards, putting the entire color of his remarks in context. He was speaking about illegal aliens.

You know how the media does these things. Sound bites. He’ll either learn or keep causing a commotion but maybe he’s OK with that too.

When one criticizes someone who is speaking the truth, one most lie and distort.

That's true but what he meant was still absolutely clear. But being more precise would make it harder for open-borders liars to distort his meaning.

Well Miami is a foreign country so don’t worry too much about it. :-)

Unfortunately, Trump’s inelegant phrasing of the matter did seem to me to admit as a valid interpretation that he was asserting that most Mexican illegal immigrants are violent criminals.

He should have spoken more clearly, emphasized that most illegal immigrants are economic migrants who come to find work or sponge off social benefits, and thus displace American workers and impose costs on taxpayers, but that among them are a great many violent criminals (maybe with some handy statistics from unimpeachable sources to back up the latter point).

I much prefer Cruz’s statements, which make the same point in a more measured way, not susceptible to misinterpretation.

This is why Trump is not a serious candidate and is causing more damage than not.

He has no experience being a political target of the media. They will parse every word he says and destroy him.

Trump is either a total buffoon, a Dem plant, or both.
