Pro-enforcement Americans should talk back to liberal media
By now in the ongoing illegal alien invasion and colonization of the United States, even the most unaware Americans must surely recognize the endless effort from the left to intentionally conflate “immigrants” with illegal aliens. And to convince us that illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes than Americans. The intentional push by the liberal media stenographers to happily assist with the endeavor does not and will not end the activist propaganda campaign.
One of the legacy media/Democrat (my apologies for the repetition) goals is to auto-paint as “anti-immigrant” Americans who demand the nation’s immigration laws be enforced or notice the resulting crime.” It’s a “pro-enforcement opinion on immigration is “hate” effort on the part of media.
Here is a March example from NPR of this pre-planned dishonesty titled “Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find” posted after an illegal alien allegedly murdered Laken Riley in Athens. NPR “reporter” Jasmine Garsd quotes U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R- AL): “She (Laken Riley) was brutally murdered by one of the millions of illegal border crossers President Biden chose to release into our homeland. Y’all … as a mom, I can’t quit thinking about this. I mean, this could have been my daughter. This could have been yours.”
NPR in the very next paragraph: “The claim that immigration brings on a crime wave can be traced back to the first immigrants who arrived in the U.S. Ever since the 1980s and ’90s, this false narrative saw a resurgence.”
See what they did there? Illegal immigration is simply “immigration.”
“False narrative” indeed.
Here is another example from the despicable Atlanta Journal Constitution in a recent report on the June Biden-Trump debate (“Hispanic voters in Georgia react to a debate that often centered on immigration”). It’s from their immigration writer, Lautaro Grinspan with assistance from another AJC typist, Helena Oliverio. The piece explains to the reader that Trump asserts the U.S. Mexico border is considered the most dangerous place in the world. He pointed to the fact that illegal border crossings have reached record highs during the Biden administration. The topic is illegal immigration.
The AJC: “While some individuals who entered the country illegally have gone on to commit violent crimes, including here in Georgia, data shows that a vast majority of immigrants don’t. According to a Northwestern University study published earlier this year, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens (italics mine).
See what they did there?
The AJC’s front page slogan is “The Substance and soul of the south.”

The far-left NPR is also one of many anti-enforcement outlets pushing this gem: “There is also state level research, that shows similar results: researchers at the CATO Institute, a libertarian think tank, looked into Texas in 2019. They found that undocumented immigrants were 37.1% less likely to be convicted of a crime. (italics mine). Not said: CATO is an open borders concern. Readers who doubt that statement should read “Forget the Wall Already, It’s Time for the U.S. to Have Open Borders” – the CATO Institute, July, 2018.
Pro-enforcement readers should know and use some static truth on illegal immigration.
- “Illegal Entry”/8 U.S.C. § 1325 makes it a crime to unlawfully enter the United States. A first offense is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine, up to six months in prison, or both.
- “Illegal Re-Entry”/8 U.S.C. § 1326 makes it a crime to unlawfully reenter, attempt to unlawfully reenter, or to be found in the United States after having been deported, ordered removed, or denied admission. This crime is punishable as a felony with a maximum sentence of two years in prison.
- Illegal employment is the main driver of illegal immigration in the U.S.
- It is a federal offense to knowingly hire an “undocumented worker” (8 USC 1324(a).
- The use of a false Social Security Number or card to obtain a benefit is a felony, punishable by a fine, and up to five years in prison (SSA.gov) .
- Identity theft is a crime (IRS.gov).
Illegal immigration is organized crime.
Responsible conservatives should fight back by talking back to the left – including media – with an educated voice.
Because silence is consent.
