UPDATE II: The GOP’s ‘Winning’ Strategy: Oppose Donald Trump (Jamiel Shaw)

Crime, Elections, IMMIGRATION, Republicans

How collectively dumb is the crop of Republicans vying for the throne, in 2016? So dumb as to think that differentiating itself from Donald Trump is a good strategy. Openly and vigorously awakening to the toll of Third-World immigration on ordinary Americans is Fox New, although Sean Hannity has been on the case, sporadically, for sometime, as has Bill O’Reilly:

… according to the Center of Immigration Studies, in 2013, ICE released just over 36,000 convicted illegal immigrants from its custody. Now, of those, 193 had homicide convictions, 426 were convicted for sexual assault, 303 had kidnapping convictions. And ICE has estimated that about 50 percent of illegal immigrants who are rearrested, then freed, reoffend after their release.

Now, the Federation of Immigration Reform estimates that illegal immigration costs you, the American taxpayers — get this — about $113 billion annually, including $15 billion on medical services, $39 billion on education for illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children respectively. And we also spend over $12 billion on border security. …

In terms of “crimes committed against Texans alone since 2008”:

Criminal aliens have been responsible for about 642,000 offenses, criminal offenses. [As to] sexual assault, there’s close to 8,000 victims out there. … over 200,000 individuals with a criminal history reflects that they were committing over 642,000 crimes. …

… 23.4 percent of federal prisoners are non-citizens. … [Of] the 36,007 people that we let loose, … 426 were convicted of assault, 193 for homicide convictions after we let them out of prison! …

The putrid Rick Perry’s response.

UPDATE I: “Black lives matter only when a life is taken by a white …”—Jamiel Shaw Sr. Steve Ronnebeck tells the story of his son Grant, too:

“Illegal immigrants and crime.”

UPDATE II: Breitbart: “More Than 347,000 Convicted Criminal Immigrants At Large In U.S.”

Let The Sliming Begin

Crime, IMMIGRATION, Republicans

Three minutes and 53 seconds into this broadcast, Ann Coulter points out that it is Donald Trump that is sticking up for the working men and women of this country, poor blacks included. Not having Sean Hannity to hector her, Ms. Coulter is allowed to develop the point by the stand-in host, Eric Bolling. Today, CNN attempted to embroil Trump in an illegal-alien labor scandal. The report, nowhere to be found on the site, was mostly hearsay (“people told us on condition of anonymity,” so it must be true). The report concluded with the one person who was willing to go on camera: a black American in a hard hat shrugging and sayings he’s mighty pleased to be making some money.

Comedian Amy Schumer Caves To PC Consensus

Free Speech, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Political Correctness

In case you’re getting tired of the one public persona who won’t embark on an apology tour for politically incorrect utterances and ideas—here’s comedian Amy Schumer, folding and feeding the quest for consensus:

Comedienne Amy Schumer was wrapped into the recent national discussions on political correctness after making several jokes about race on her Comedy Central show. Though Schumer previously pushed back at critics in the past who accused her of having a “blind spot” for race jokes, but in an exchange with a fan on Twitter, she said that she wants to “take responsibility” for what she said.

The incident began when an article for The Guardian commented about some of Schumer’s off-color jokes. Monica Heisey initially praised Schumer as “funny, feminist, mainstream entertainment, ” but was less enthused about several “tactless” jokes from the Trainwreck star, such as “I used to date Latino guys. Now I prefer consensual.”

Schumer initially defended the comments, tweeting a lengthy post on June 28 about how she refuses to do “safe” material and that race jokes are part of her act as “an irreverent idiot:”

I enjoy playing the girl who time to time says the dumbest thing possible and playing with race is a thing we are not supposed to do, which is what makes it so fun for comics. You can call it a “blind spot for racism” or “lazy” but you are wrong. It is a joke and it is funny. I know that because people laugh at it.

After being asked on Twitter whether she has a sort of public responsibility as a storyteller, Schumer took a different tone …

The Immigration-Industrial-Complex Culpable For Kathryn Steinle

Crime, IMMIGRATION

On the murder by proxy of Kathryn Steinle: Don’t you love the way ICE, the federal wing of the immigration-industrial-complex, is out-front about the slaying of Ms. Steinle? The Immigration and Customs Enforcement is gleeful that this time it’s the city of San Francisco that unleashed a predator on to its streets. But there are as many instances of ICE unleashing the same caliber of criminal on the people they swore to protect as there are instances of localities doing the same. More, actually:

According to weekly detention and departure reports from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, there were 167,527 non-detained convicted criminal aliens in the United States as of Jan. 26 of this year, … ICE admitted to releasing 36,007 criminal aliens from the agency’s custody in Fiscal Year 2013, including those convicted of sex crimes, homicide, drunk driving, kidnapping and robbery. Of these, 1,000 went on to commit new crimes ranging from assault with a deadly weapon and lewd acts with a child to aggravated assault, robbery, and hit-and-run.

The federal government usually takes states to court if local law-enforcement so much as asks an illegal alien about his immigration status. All wings of the Immigration-Industrial-Complex are responsible for this young woman’s death and the fate of many like her. It could be any of us.
