When Will NYT Run Expose On Illegal Aliens

The New York Times began running a series of articles about crimes committed by US military war veterans, which suggests that members of the US Armed Forces come home to commit crimes. The Times' methodologies are suspect, and ignores the fact that crimes committed by members of the US Armed Services is below that of the general population. In other words, it's agenda "journalism" that seeks to undermine support for the US military.

I wonder whether the Times would do a similar report on criminality of illegal aliens, seeing how they are not only here in the country illegally (a violation of federal law), but engage in a significant number of violent crimes that are shocking and deplorable (recall the Newark triple execution murders committed by MS-13 thugs). One such recent case is reported by Dan Riehl. This particular individual was arrested and deported twice. His crimes? Serial rapes of 25 teenagers. In other words, he was a one-person crime spree.

But sadly, it's not just a one-person spree. How about law enforcement officers murdered or assaulted by illegal aliens. Or the victims of illegal aliens in general, which is just the tip of the iceberg.

How about the fact that the nearly 55,000 illegal aliens incarcerated in 2003 were arrested some 460,000 times and were responsible for some 700,000 criminal offenses (see pages 8 through 10) for the year studied - 2003. Among the caveats of the report - it may not capture all illegal aliens in the system nor does it capture all the arrests. It makes for a most interesting read.

That's just a small sampling of the problem, and yet the Times sees fit to focus elsewhere. It isn't curious, because the Times has regularly sought amnesty for illegal aliens and has refused to consider enforcement of existing laws as a solution to deal with illegal aliens in the country. The editors refuse to recognize the serious disruption caused by illegal aliens on the nation, and the huge burden on the nation as a result of illegal aliens. Further, the problems are exacerbated by the likes of MS-13 and other gangs that are made up of illegal aliens that terrorize inner cities and suburbs alike around the country.
