Immigrants and crime: A foundational lie

It only takes a few bad apples to spoil the bunch

Not about that. Trump keeps trying to say he is protecting us from MS13 and the like. Those who are affiliated with gangs are a very minute percentage of those who cross the border.

So says the claim from UT.

Can you please provide a link to the thousands of cases of illegal voting that you are aware of?

Is it just thousands or is it tens of thousands? I’m sure you must know some websites where they report all of that stuff. And with so much obviously going on, I’m sure it will be easy for you to link to it all. lol

Only “certain types of people” attempt to conflate illegal immigrants with all immigrants. The dishonest type.

ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIME WAVE IN TEXAS 611,234 CRIMES, 2,993 MURDERS

JULY 22, 2015
The murder of Kathryn Steinle on the Embarcadero in San Francisco by an illegal alien is the most familiar example of a crime committed by an alien. But an unreleased internal report by the Texas Department of Public Safety reveals that aliens have been involved in thousands of crimes in Texas alone, including nearly 3,000 homicides.

PJ Media obtained a never-before-released copy of a Texas DPS report on human smuggling containing the numbers of crimes committed by aliens in Texas. According to the analysis conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety, foreign aliens committed 611,234 unique crimes in Texas from 2008 to 2014, including thousands of homicides and sexual assaults.

The report describes an alien crime wave of staggering proportions exacerbated by federal officials unwilling to enforce immigration laws.

The Texas DPS report says well over 100,000 individual criminal aliens have been booked into Texas jails:

From October 2008 to April 2014, Texas identified a total 177,588 unique criminal alien defendants booked into Texas county jails. These individuals have been identified through the Secure Communities initiative, in which Texas has participated since October 2008… .

“Democrats, fix the laws. Don’t RESIST. We are doing a far better job than Bush and Obama, but we need strength and security at the Border! Cannot accept all of the people trying to break into our Country. Strong Borders, No Crime!“

“We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents…“

Looks like a broad brush to me…

Where exactly is he conflating the two? Everyone who enters the country illegally has committed a misdemeanor at least.

I can’t find the word illegal in either of those tweets… can you?

What is the context of the conversation?

Legal immigrants are not “invading”. That should give you a clue.

That’s not what Trump is saying… never once mentions illegal immigrants in those 2 tweets from today.

From those tweets it sounds like he is talking about all immigrants. They are all bringing crime… they are all invading the US.

He should choose better language if he wishes to make a distinction

Horse hockey. There would be no reason to take every legal immigrant before a judge and no justification for deporting them.

Jimminy Christmas use some common sense.

Seriously if one cannot figure out he’s talking about illegal immigration after reading these, they need remedial reading help.

…Our Immigration policy, laughed at all over the world, is very unfair to all of those people who have gone through the system legally and are waiting on line for years! Immigration must be based on merit - we need people who will help to Make America Great Again!

This tweeet is all over the place. So our immigration policy is to all illegal immigrants to cross our borders? Then he talks about immigration must be based on merit… so this sound like he is talking about legal immigrants

What is he saying here?

Jesus you two are putting on a hell of an act.

Legal immigrants are not “trying to break in to our country:”.

At least CJ had the good sense to quickly delete his post.

Just don’t be a legal immigrant from one of those ■■■■ hole countries.
