For Grieving Parents, Trump Is ‘Speaking for the Dead’ on Immigration
The New York Times ^ | 25 June 2017 | Vivian Yee

Posted on 06/25/2017 8:16:24 PM PDT by Theoria

The families could reel off all the times they had called the media and written to Washington, but after all that trying, they had never heard anyone who mattered say anything like it: Most Mexican immigrants, Donald J. Trump declared in his first campaign speech, were “rapists” who were “bringing drugs, bringing crime” across the border.

Now he had come to meet them, the families of people killed by undocumented immigrants, and they wanted to tell him he was right.

One son had been struck by a truck, another shot just around the corner from home. Different causes of death, but the driver, the gunman, all the perpetrators were the same, the parents said: people who never should have been in the country in the first place.

Sitting alone with them at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in July 2015, the candidate distributed hugs as the families wept. When the campaign had called, most of them had been told only that they were going to meet with Mr. Trump.

Yes, it was. It did show that it wasn’t for show and real concern for the families.

Correct. Some are good, but the rest aren’t. I doubt a FReeper would disagree with that.

Wow! I can’t believe I’m going to write this, but that was actually not a horrible story. It was, in the main, accurate and even sympathetic to these people. All I can conclude is that the normal editor who reviews these kinds of stories was out sick or on vacation.

Typical of the Slimes to try to put words never spoken in Trump’s mouth by slicing up his quoted words, and using the false term “immigrants” for illegal aliens. The LORD rebuke them all.

He wasn’t talking about immigrants either.

He was referring to illegal aliens, foreign nationals who crossed illegally into the United States knowingly.

If we don’t know what BS the loons at the Times are putting out, how are we going to fight it?

Maybe I've been living in a different world. From my perspective for nearly 2 years now Trump has KO'd lying big media and with the help of his supporters have ripped the masks right off these collusive rotten people. Ya don't fight an enemy but perpetually reposting their propaganda.

It doesn't have to be "most" in order to be "inordinate proportion compared even to the general population of Mexico." And I don't believe that is what Donald said, and if that's a lie it wouldn't be the first from the NYT.

The Mexican government is telling people actively to go. People who might actually get in trouble in Mexico, unsurprisingly, are disproportionately motivated.

So some writer at the fake NYT remembers the Ender Wiggins stories?

I thought that they have blacklisted all things Bear for his political stance.

I’m glad this was posted, because the Times had better own up to that “most Mexican immigrants” BS. If we don’t see completely fake news being reported like that, it doesn’t get the rebuttals you’re seeing in this thread.

Maybe this is like in the spirit of putting up a voodoo doll to get pins stuck in it? Or a Donk to have its tail pinned on?

FR has a means of following this stuff. It ain’t perfect. Maybe it could have a Barf Alert category. Or a Yeah, Tell Me Something New category. Or an Enemedia category.

The first paragraph is a lie.

Ya know, when you hear big media lie and deceive thousands of times, you can pretty much bet everything you're going to hear from them is going to be a lie.☺

We should not have to wait until illegal aliens harm or kill Americans before they are removed.

And when the Lord inspires and provides a way for us, we should rebuke them too.

Did ya ever notice when big lying media gets caught in a lie, they'll retract it 2 or 3 weeks later on the 38 page? No one or few ever see it. That's the way it works.

Btw, since documentary evidence exists in the form of transcripts there is really nothing to rebut, they lied, plain and simple. However not all is lost, everyone can still have fun calling the media liars once again.♠

I think I’ve made it well known here how I feel about Mexico and it’s people. Flat out I hate them. I hate them for their arrogance in thinking that somehow simply because they’re one of only two countries fortunate enough to share a border with the US that somehow that gives them the right to just waltz on here and we American gringos should just shut up and take it and cough up money and pay for their health care, their kids education, etc. I hate them because I live in New Jersey and this state is one of the few in America that funds education thru property tax so every time these arrogant beggars are sticking their kids in an NJ public school my property taxes go up. I hate Mexicans because Mexico is one of the richest countries in Latin America. Per capita it has more billionaires living in it than any nation in the western hemisphere. I hate Mexico and it’s people because it’s a land blessed with many natural resources like iron, nickel,gold and oil. it’s a verdant land capable of growing just about every fruit and vegetable and species of livestock God put on this earth. And what have Mexicans done with these gifts? They’ve turned their country into a cesspool of systemic racism and corruption where their politicians steal everything in sight and blame the United States. I hate them because they can’t run away from the shithole they’ve created fast enough and they fight like hell not to be deported back to it. I hate Mexicans because on average they kill 12 Americans a day. How much more of this are we supposed to endure?
