Donald Trump has been roundly criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for saying that 80 percent of women crossing the border are being raped. NBC decided to drop his popular show, “The Apprentice,” and the Miss Universe pageant he produces. Mexico says it will withdraw its entrant to the pageant based on Trump’s offensive statements. ESPN, NASCAR and others have piled on. But Trump was just quoting an article from Fusion magazine. The piece, “Is rape the price to pay for migrant women chasing the American Dream?,” leads off by saying:
“Before they can reach the American Dream, many migrant women have to survive a Mexican nightmare. A staggering 80 percent of Central American girls and women crossing Mexico en route to the United States are raped along the way, according to directors of migrant shelters interviewed by Fusion.”
In fact, the problem is infinitely worse than the article reveals. For example, of 61,529 criminal cases initiated by federal prosecutors in 2013, 24,746—fully 40 percent of the total—originated in five border jurisdictions in Arizona, New Mexico, Southern California, West Texas and South Texas. Almost all were committed by illegals.

New York, 45%
California, 40%
Texas, 22%
Arizona, 24%
Florida, 55%
The politically correct crowd don’t want to address those numbers. They prefer repeating their talking points.
It’s long overdue to either put up an impenetrable border fence and start shipping out every illegal to a deserted but habitable island and let them set up their own society instead of burdening ours.
And the dishonest (or ignorant) ones among the MSM, the Dims and many Republicans used crime stats for all immigrants to claim that illegal aliens did not commit more crimes than the general population. Totally bogus as real stats for illegal alien crimes prove.
It is not because they are politically correct. They would love to join Trump on denouncing the invasion by illegals.
The problem is every candidate except Trump can not survive in the long primary run without their sugar daddy rich donors. And daddy wants the cheap labor. It is really not complicated.
Trump just reported what is actually occurring yet the media acts as though he is out of touch.
This sounds like an article from Sept. 12, 2014 Huffington Post.

Blaming America for the rapes instead of blaming the rapists.
That’s true. The Chamber of Commerce used to be Main Steet USS but is now controlled by Wall Street and Silicon Valley. That’s who they answer to.
