What stuck out for me on this Tibbets case, is that they ran this story day in and day out until her body was found, yet large numbers of African-American women disappear each year and you barely hear a peep from the media. Clearly, she was white and thus more important to find.
Your concern is touching, but hispanics kill many more blacks annually than they do whites.
Gang or drug-related cases don't seem to get the same coverage. When the media believe the suspect is likely a minority, they shy away. It's not the victim that they don't care about, they just don't want to highlight inner city crime or crimes likely committed by minorities or illegals. It hurts the leftist agenda when people are aware of the high crime rates due to illegal immigration or poorly-run Dem cities.
Yes, agree. What I disagree with is making this a racial issue when it's an illegal alien issue.
I was responding to poster who said people cared more about Mollie because she was white and another stated that Hispanics kill more blacks. People don't get concerned until the media makes a big deal of it. The fact is that they don't when they think the perpetrator is likely a minority or illegal alien. They do not like to call attention to certain crimes because it doesn't fit their narrative. It's a sad fact. In Mollie's case, there was already so much attention that they can't keep a lid on the fact that an illegal alien criminal did it. I'm sure the national media won't spend a lot of time focusing on the killer now that the case is solved.
It isn't about black or white, legal immigrant or illegal alien, or this or that group. It's about evil people vs good people. Both sides are diverse. The murderers, rapists, human traffickers and other criminals are evil and need to be stopped. One way to cut down on these horrible crimes is to secure the border to make sure we don't allow more scum to enter the states and do harm.
We also have a growing problem with human traffickers and there are constant reports of people being abducted. Many attempts were unsuccessful lately here in Iowa, but it's getting scary. And most of the people arrested end up being from some other country where this sort of thing is the norm. With no border security, these people can come and go as they please and that sure makes it easy to be a human trafficker, smuggler, etc.
We allowed Obama to import these criminals. Some came as refugees who were not properly vetted. Others just walked through our invisible borders. Many on the left want to eliminate our borders completely so we can be overrun by people who would destroy us.
It needs to be addressed and fast.
I am so sick of hearing the left whine about people being detained and separated at the border. One thread asks what the human cost is. Well, what is the human cost of ignoring immigration laws and allowing anyone in? Thousands of people each year are murdered by people who shouldn't be allowed in.
The cost of a border fence is nothing compared to the human life being snuffed out by terrorists and murderers. The cost of the fence is nothing compared to the cost to tax payers to pay for all these illegals, whether through welfare or paying for them to be imprisoned.
