There have been quite a few hot-takes from Democratic Party supporters of illegal aliens, here’s one that’s scorching
Don’t blame immigration for Mollie Tibbetts’ death, blame misogyny
“Don’t talk to strangers,†we tell our daughters when they are little. “Look both ways when you cross the road.†Later, we will warn them about the unintended consequences of alcohol and drugs, and unprotected sex. We will encourage them to feel confident and stand up for themselves, but exercise caution and avoid unfamiliar places after dark. Our society will urge them to heed the advice of doctors and maybe clergy, their parents and grandparents.
Meanwhile, bit by bit, we see the value of those lessons diminish.
It is likely none of those standard admonitions could have saved Mollie Tibbetts. As of this writing, we don’t know the full details of her death, only that her body was found in a cornfield and police believe they have the murderer. We know she had gone out for an evening jog. We know he followed her. And we know from history that that simple activity, which enhances women’s strength and independence, can also make them vulnerable.
This missive is by Rekha Basu of the Des Moines Register, republished in the USA Today. She goes on to note other things about women being killed due to “misogyny”, leading to
Yet rather than focus on reducing violence against women, some top Republicans from President Donald Trump to Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds to Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, had another agenda. They rushed to blame arrested suspect Cristhian Bahena Rivera’s immigration status, which itself remains unclear. The state Division of Criminal Investigation called him an illegal immigrant. But his lawyer said he was in the country legally, and his employer, Craig Lang of Yarrabee Farms, said his legal status had been verified, but later said he had been hired under a different name. It’s conceivable they didn’t vet him properly or that they knew and hired him anyway, much like managers at Agriprocessors meat-packing plant in Postville were accused of doing before the 2008 raid there.
Notice how after every mass shooting, some top Republicans are in a hurry to deny the proliferation of guns was in any way responsible. Lately, they’ve been blaming mental illness. But in Rivera’s case, there is political currency in conflating the lack of a visa with violence, even though studies show undocumented immigrants commit no more violent crimes than the native-born population. A 2016 study showed the U.S. immigrant population rose 118 percent from 1980 through 2016 but the rate of violent crimes fell by 36 percent.
Notice how after every criminal incident by people who should not even be in the United States Democrats are in a hurry to find some way, any way, to protect the illegal aliens. Crime stats are immaterial: Mollie would not have been murdered had Rivera not been unlawfully present in the U.S. The headline uses “death”, but, it was murder.
Here’s a question: why can’t it be both misogyny and immigration? In Liberal World, it’s because they’re invested in protecting illegal aliens/immigration. Interestingly, we see way more misogyny within Liberal supported institutions: Hollywood, colleges, and so forth.
Mollie would be alive if Rivera was stopped from being in the nation. Democrats would rather support illegal aliens over American women.
