House Republican lawmakers are being encouraged by their party’s leadership to play up gruesome murders, rapes, and other crimes committed by undocumented immigrants in the
United States.
In a newsletter sent on Friday, House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., provided the caucus and staff with a messaging update that compiled immigrant crimes by
date and congressional district. The newsletter is used by the GOP caucus to provide talking points and messaging guidance.
“Speaker Pelosi made one thing clear during the government shutdown: she doesn’t care about the tragic consequences of illegal immigration on American families,” the newsletter
says. Under the header “The Democrats’ far-left immigration agenda has tragic real-world consequences,” the newsletter goes on to list crimes committed over the last two decades.
The list includes alleged crimes and points out which Republican House members’ districts the events took place in. In one case, “an illegal immigrant from El Salvador was charged
with murdering four people” in Rep. Mark Amodei’s Nevada district, the newsletter says.
the annoying thing is that we know their game and they will still go around pretending this information is private.
Yes, because it's not us who they're pretending for: we know better.
They're blasting at all the people who don't know better, creating soundbites for people who go after those people who don't know better and propagandize and try to get them to become members of the 'death cult of Trump'.
If you ask me, political tactics like this should fall under the same ambit as terrorism and be treated accordingly, otherwise we'll just have more of the same shit again and again. Sometimes hard decisions need to be made otherwise we'll be stuck in the same cycle forever.
Assault, murder and rape are apparently okay as long as it wasn’t committed by an illegal immigrant
as long as the people you're assaulting are reporters and the rape is statutory and you have an R next to your name
remember they count the amount of murders from illegal immigrants starting on september 11th 2001, not any other usual day like january 1st. Can't be that they are trying to conflate illegal immigrants with terrorists.
To put a dark correction on this: from their vantage point 'you can't commit crimes like those against animals and property'.
Kristallnacht 2: Anti-Immigrant Boogaloo when?
I'm waiting for the Night Of The Long Knives 2, myself. Will the corporatists bust out the McPMCs first, or will the white nationalists get their home-grown terrorists to get the first shots in?
