The media firestorm over Donald Trump’s accurate comment that the illegal aliens coming from Mexico include “rapists, drug runners, and other criminals” shows no sign of abating. However, the murder in San Francisco of innocent American Kathryn Steinle by an illegal alien, and five-time deportee, has all but disappeared from the pages and video feeds of the establishment media.
This conspiracy of silence by the establishment media to hush-up the vast contribution illegal aliens make to America’s crime rate has finally driven some of the victims of the not-at-all victimless crime of illegal border crossing to come out in support of Trump and testify to the truth of his comments.
Jamiel Shaw, who was forced to see what no parent should ever see – his 17-year-old son, Jamiel Jr., lying dead in the street where he used to play, gunned down execution-style by an illegal alien.
Mr. Shaw has spent the seven years since his son was killed fighting so-called "sanctuary" policies in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, where police refuse to work with federal authorities when they apprehend illegal aliens who, by law, should be deported.
The crimes they subsequently commit -- including murder -- should never happen, Shaw said. “We call it getting killed by invisible people, because they aren’t supposed to be here,” Mr. Shaw told FoxNews.com.
But Mr. Shaw and the family of Kathryn Steinle are hardly the only victims of the illegal alien criminals that President Obama and his far-Left sanctuary city supporters have loosed upon innocent Americans.
As our friend Brandon Darby of Breitbart reported, “A 24-hour period last Wednesday and Thursday saw two cases of male illegal immigrants allegedly murdering women in two separate U.S. states: California and Texas. In both instances, the women’s murder could have been prevented by authorities had they enforced existing U.S. immigration laws and/or had the U.S.-Mexico border been functionally secured. The California murder involved an illegal immigrant who had been previously deported five times with seven felonies and the Texas murder involved an illegal immigrant who had been deported on four previous occasions.”
Jeb Bush apparently grew angry on Saturday, and as Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit reported, said that he was “absolutely and personally offended” by Trump’s description of Mexican illegal aliens as “rapists” and criminals.
But what Jeb Bush called “an act of love” has cost thousands of Americans their lives, the sanctity of their persons and billions of dollars in lost property.
In our August 28, 2014 article “Illegal Immigration Is NOT A Victimless Crime” we told readers that some 29 percent of those incarcerated in US prisons (about a half-million inmates) are illegal aliens, so clearly illegal border crossing is not a victimless crime as Jeb Bush has tried to present it.
And while Kathryn Steinle heinous murder was the most recent high-profile case a quick search of the crime blotter in any newspaper or news site will turn up dozens of major crimes, such murder, rape and vehicular homicide perpetrated by illegal aliens. (For more on the subject of murders committed by illegal aliens see this article by our friend Matt Boyle of Breitbart)
Dan Rosenberg, whose son Drew was killed by an illegal alien, spoke on behalf of the over 100,000 victims killed by illegal aliens in an eloquent letter to President Obama saying the sheer mass of illegal aliens entering the criminal justice system has corrupted our political and legal system.
Mr. Rosenberg is right, the repeated release and return of criminal illegal aliens committing an “act of love” led to these, and many other murders and crimes, as Don Trump observed:
Gustavo Castillo Gutierrez, 26, a previously deported illegal alien form Mexico, has been arrested for causing the June 21, 2015 traffic death of Bob Barry Jr., a popular veteran Oklahoma City sportscaster. Apparently due to the Obama Administrations "illegal alien catch and release policy," Gutizerrez has been caught and release to Mexico three times without being charged with a felony--as the law allows for repeat offenders.
Apolinar Altamirano, 29, a Mexican illegal alien DREAMer, has been arrested for the January 22, 2015 first-degree murder of Phoenix Quick Trip store clerk Grant Ronnebeck, 21. Altamirano is accused of shooting Ronnebeck and stealing two packs of cigarettes after the clerk demanded payment before giving Altamirano any cigarettes. In 2012, Altamirano pleaded guilty to facilitation to commit burglary and got probation but was placed in deportation proceedings.
Before the murder of Ronnebeck, Altamirano was released on a $10,000 bond in 2013 from ICE custody despite the defendant's own claims of ties to the Mexican Mafia. After his release, but before Ronnebeck's murder, Altamirano also allegedly threatened to kill two people, resulting in harassment injunctions against Altamirano. Altamirano reportedly entered the U.S. illegally at the age of 14 and prior to his arrest, worked illegally as a landscaper.
Galina Kilova, 29, an illegal alien from Bulgaria, was arrested for the November 24, 2014 hit-and-run death of Michael Grubbs, 63 in Las Vegas, NV. Kilova entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2006 but illegally remained in the U.S. after the visa had expired. In 2007 she was arrested for DUI, but apparently not placed into deportation proceedings.
Angel Alberno Mejia, 24, an illegal alien living in Winchester, KY, was arrested in the hit and run death of Wanda Fay Beach, 68. Mrs. Beach of Somerset, KY, was killed on June 21, 2014.
Jesus P. Pelico, 20, an illegal alien from Aguacaatan, Guatemala, has been charged in the June 20, 2014 death of Leone Turpin, 28, of Canton, Ohio.
Sgt. Brandon Mendoza of the Mesa (Arizona) Police Department in Arizona was killed in a fatal car crash earlier in 2014—the driver of the other car was an illegal alien.
And last August, Gustavo Tijerina, 30, and Ismael Hernandez, 40, who had been living in Texas illegally, and who had been arrested and deported numerous times, confessed to killing Border Patrol agent Javier Vega Jr. in front of his wife, two kids and his parents at a lake in Willacy County, Texas.
Mr. Rosenberg and Mr. Shaw are right, but to Jeb Bush the illegal aliens are committing an act of love, not a crime that led directly to the deaths of Jamiel Shaw, Jr. and Drew Rosenberg.
Jeb Bush can take all the personal offense at Trump’s comments he wants, but all the self-righteous indignation he can muster will not bring back any of the thousands of Americans killed by the open borders policies that he, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama support.
If you know of other Americans killed by illegals: traffic, disease, murder, negligence, etc., then please post a link to the story on this page.
The Bush dynasty thinks it can just trot out its next entitled child and have him become president in THEIR white house.

I heard about this one, this one was real bad, 4 school kids got killed. It’s bad for each one of them, it happened in rural Minnesota, note, the Asian looking girl? She was adopted by a family, Olsen. So they were generous to her who may well have come from some place overseas herself.
This, 4 young kids killed. Michelle Malkin reported on it, I don’t know about much more. The driver was drunk.
Here is the famous “SUV killed the girl” story, actually it was driven by an illegal with no right to drive in St. Paul, MN.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/07/12/suv_update_killed_by_suv
“Apparently a 16-year-old girl in St. Paul, Minnesota, “was sitting in the grass at her high school, nowhere near the street, when she was struck and killed by a vehicle that careened out of control and bounced off a fire hydrant. The vehicle was driven by an illegal immigrant who has been in Minnesota for ten years without ever having a driver’s license. He was known to local authorities, having been convicted of drunk driving in 2001 and driving without a license just a few months ago. But the immigration laws are not enforced in St. Paul.”
That girl who got killed herself was Ethiopian, part Ethiopian, so in a way, I think she was the products of migrants, though, legal.
Yeb Bush does not care about the citizens of the USA. He is only concerned about citizens of other countries who are in our country illegally.
If the GOP will not defend the sovereignty of the country and the citizens they will go the way of the Whigs.
more specifically...
Just wondering if he came out and said something about that murder.
Am I to understand that an “act of love” is Jeb’s politically correct euphemism for rape. What we have here is a failure to communicate.
There are other more worthy candidates seeking one of the ten available spots in the upcoming televised debate. Perhaps the ex-governor of Florida and supporter of sanctuary Miami should take a pass while he studies a thesaurus and gets his mind right.
He might have, but I don’t recall it.
Jeb has lots of reasons not to vote for him. I think he is a slippery establishment guy.
But, I can’t get past the dynasty angle. I really don’t want the nation to go down that road. The white house is not a Bush family toy.
Easy commercial...Bush on one side saying... bringing in illegals is act of love...other side stories on illegals murdering and raping people. It would make Willie Horton ad look like an endorsement.
Now they’re saying that Jebbie will team up with Nikki Haley since HRC won’t join him on a “fusion” ticket.
Jebbie’s not talking; he’s tallying up his funds right now.
