Every Voter In A Red State With A Democrat Senator Should Ask: Are MS-13 Members “Animals” And Vote Accordingly

The speedy dissemination of lies and the much slower propagation of corrective truths have a very long history. Literary figure Jonathan Swift wrote on this topic in “The Examiner” in 1710:

Besides, as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers; and it often happens, that if a Lie be believ’d only for an Hour, it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it. Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it; so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late; the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect.

It all started yesterday during a meeting with President Trump and law enforcement officers and mayors from California sanctuary cities.  In asking about the savage MS-13 gangs, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said, “There could be an MS-13 gang member I know about, if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about them.”

As you clearly heard there, the President referred to dangerous MS-13 gang members as “animals” but anti-Trump media organizations conveniently took his comments out of context to make it appear that he was talking about illegal immigrants.

Long after it was clear that Trump was talking about MS-13, news organizations continued to inaccurately use the quote to rile up the left.

Trump haters at the New York Daily News published on its front page: “Trump hurls hate at immigrants: ‘These aren’t people. These are animals.’”

CNBC’s John Harwood, who has close ties to longtime Clinton crony John Podesta, took things a step further and admitted that he sympathizes with the dangerous gang members.

“However repugnant their actions, MS-13 gang members are human beings IMHO,” Harwood tweeted.

NBC Universal did not respond when asked for comment on Harwood’s tweet.

During today’s White House Press Briefing, Sarah Sanders was locked and loaded when the subject was predictably raised:

Then along comes Nancy Palsi who defended MS-13 gang members:

The parody account @sean_spicier tweeted something hysterically funny and I just had to create a graphic to illustrate how ridiculous the Left’s defense of these monsters is.

Looking forward to the Adopt-A MS-13 booth at the next DNC Convention

This MS-13 booth is sponsored by the American Machete Association where "We do hacking the old fashioned way."

Every voter in a red state with a senator who is a Democrat should ask them if MS-13 members are “animals” and cast their vote accordingly.

"Is San Francisco's Sanctuary Policy a License to Kill?"

The headline of this post, "Is San Francisco's Sanctuary Policy a License to Kill?", and the dead tree editorial I took it from, might seem to be a bit hyperbolic, or extreme. Until you consider when it was published: December 5, 2012.

Debra Saunders wrote a piece on the appalling regularity that illegal aliens* are involved in fatal car crashes, highlighting the death of a motorcyclist, Drew Rosenberg, who was hit by an illegal alien, driving without a license, who then proceeded to back over the victim's body. Saunders notes:

This sanctuary city has been so eager to protect illegal immigrants who cannot obtain California drivers' licenses (written in 2012) that in 2009, then Mayor Gavin Newsom announced that the city would no longer impound the cars of unlicensed drivers automatically.

The law** was written that unlicensed drivers, all of them, without exception, as a deterrent, should forfeit their vehicles as a result of their lawlessness. However, in their magnanimousness, San Francisco decided that while confiscation of cars from pallid people without licenses was perfectly just, some accommodation needed to be made for those among us without the proper documentation, thus, a "Get out of Jail & Keep Your Car" card for those unable to obtain Green cards.

But, hey! In for a penny, in for a pound. SF was already in violation of federal law in shielding illegal aliens, why not violate state law as well, to shield them from the consequences of their actions.

Saunders then went on to detail the various organizations rallying to the defense of illegals - all the usual suspects-, but then, in her naivete, she suggests that illegal aliens who use vehicles to kill somebody should be deported.

I say naivete, because we now know, from the example of Francisco Sanchez, that deportation is not a deterrent, not when we have a revolving door on the border. The most pressing issue we have with illegal immigration is not the status of those who are already here, but slowing and deterring as much as humanly possible, the entry and reentry of undesirable persons of every race and color.

*non citizens who enter the country illegally, for those of you who have trouble grasping the concept of "illegal"

**law: that thing which is supposed to be binding upon everyone without exception when it comes to, say, Obamacare and gay marriage, but is totally optional for discriminating liberal municipalities who, to quote Ms. Saunders once again,

"...care more about people who break the law than the law abiding public."
