Can one trust today’s media? I sure as hell don’t and with good reason. For instance, take a look at their hysteria over illegal aliens and their children. You would’ve thought we invaded the Third World and installed concentration camps. All this hyperbole for merely protecting our borders and sovereignty. Hell, you would’ve thought President Trump imposed the Fourth Reich.
The editorial board at the Charlotte Observer is a perfect example of emotion over reason and they do it by distorting statistics and facts. I never trust their assertions. One must always check their sources, if they give them, and then do extensive research. Their latest defense of this Third World invasion is typical leftist propaganda: illegals commit less crimes than native born; massive migration is not a threat to our culture, and they are just entitled to the welfare state as an American citizen. Basically, citizenship and the rule of law means nothing to these people.
I don’t care what the crime ratio is for illegal aliens. Common sense should tell you that crimes by illegals aliens wouldn’t happen if we protected our borders; this should be a non sequitur. However, that won’t stop the libtards at the Charlotte Observer. Their latest editorial uses an article from Politico about crime statistics in Germany. Here is an excerpt:
Of the many words Donald Trump used this week in defense of his horrific policy to separate children and their parents at the border, one tweet should especially trouble Americans. It's not the tweet you think — the repulsive one from Tuesday that said undocumented immigrants "infest our country." This one came a day before, as the heat began to intensify in response to the administration's border policy.
"Crime in Germany is way up," Trump said about migration in Europe. "Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!"
First, a quick fact check: Crime in Germany is, in fact, not up. It's down 5.1 percent since last year and is at its lowest rate since 1992.
More problematic is Trump's concern that immigrants have changed Germany's culture. That's a different immigration argument from the president, who previously has focused on security and safety and protecting Americans from the crimes committed by those here illegally. That's bunk, by the way. Statistics show that undocumented immigrants are considerably less likely to commit crimes than native-born citizens.
An interesting thing about this assertion is that statistic was presented by Interior Minister Horst Seehofer who wants to crackdown on asylum seekers and deport Muslims. Here is an excerpt from an article by Handelsblatt Global:
As of late, Mr. Seehofer has been resorting to dog whistle rhetoric to woo sympathizers of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which is expected to mount a strong challenge to his CSU party in a Bavarian regional election on October 14. Shortly after joining Ms. Merkel’s cabinet, he caused controversy by claiming “Islam is not a part of Germany,” rekindling a bogus debate in a country that is home to between four and five million Muslims.
Ms. Merkel is trying to defuse the row with Mr.Seehofer by offering concessions such as supporting his plan to speed up deportations of asylum seekers by building so-called “anchor centers” to house them from their arrival in Germany until their possible departure.
Deportations? Detention centers? Geez, that sounds alot like what is happening in the United States. Funny how the Charlotte Observer left that out of their editorial.
How about massive migration not changing the culture? Here is another excerpt from the Disturber:
The targets of all these policies and proposals share one thing — they're not part of Donald Trump's America, the one that is whiter and richer and doesn't want its "culture" changed.
He's wrong about that, of course. Immigrants are not a threat to our culture. They are, and have always been, woven deeply into who we are. But now, with a president who has become even bolder and more vile about immigrants, we should be vigilant not only about how we treat those at our border, but those who contribute to the heart of America's greatness.
Immigrants aren’t a threat to our culture? Wrong again. This assertion can easily be refuted, just take a look at California. California used to be a red state 25 years ago. Not anymore. Here is an excerpt from the Los Angeles Times:
If it seems laughable to think that less than a generation ago California was a red state, for all intents, then laugh away.
From the elections of Harry S. Truman to Bill Clinton — a span of 44 years — Democrats won the presidential contest here only once, in the landslide post-JFK election of 1964. More often than not, in those days, Republicans won elections for governor and U.S. Senate as well. But since then?
Six straight presidential wins for Democrats. Nine straight Senate victories. An overwhelming advantage in other statewide offices. And the biggest voter shift in that time? The percentage of Latino voters has more than doubled. And those voters have grown far more loyal to Democrats.
"It's a huge demographic shift, the likes of which the country has never experienced," said Mike Madrid, a Republican political strategist who has long studied the impact. "Not just the size of it, but the speed in which it has happened. In one generation, California looks entirely different than how it looked before. It's changed our society. It's changed our culture."
Politically speaking, the shift has placed one-fifth of the electoral votes needed to win the presidency in the hands of the Democratic Party. And as nearby states grow more Latino, they become more Democratic. Nevada and New Mexico used to be reliably Republican in presidential contests; lately they've been easily Democratic. Arizona appears to be following suit, if more slowly.
Illegal immigration didn’t just change the culture of California and neighboring states, it changed the culture of the Democratic Party and the sycophants that make up the mainstream media.
