It is important to this article that it mentions the rapist is an illegal immigrant. It proves the point that we need our borders closed. If legal immigration was enforced, and illegal immigration remained illegal, then perhaps the victims would not have been raped, more specifically by these men.

I get that. Its simply very naive to buy into this propaganda though. And make no mistake-this story is out to demonize undocumented immigrants and nothing else.

I get that you view it as propaganda, but I don't. I live in this region, and the majority of the news is mostly about hikers getting lost, DUI's and someone not paying attention at railroad crossings. When major crimes do happen, especially rapes, all known facts, including past records, are reported. This isn't propaganda and it isn't twisted to fit anyone's agenda. It's stating facts that this guy was on the loose in the area and in addition to committing the horrific crime of rape, he was also an illegal immigrant. I bet if illegal immigrants weren't such a touchy subject right now, you wouldn't have defended this rapist.

He doesn't deserve to be president.
President Obama to send more National Guard troops to U.S.-Mexico border
President Obama will deploy 1,200 National Guard troops and request an extra $500 million to secure the Mexican border, his administration said Tuesday, a move dismissed by Republicans as insufficient to win their cooperation on an overhaul of the nation's immigration system. Washington Post

if you could deport and keep out the illegals with secured boarders,
Do you think our Home Owners Insurance and Car Insurance and our
Property Insurance would go down? I DO!

Is it really fair to say he has done "nothing" at all when efforts are actually being made?

The solution here is simple. We need enforcement officers across the border all within line of sight of one another with air support. It ain't rocket science.

Illegal immigrants, not just undocumented, should be demonized! They have broken the law to get into this country, haven't they? They are already criminals just by being here! I wholeheartedly agree with Boondock on this one.

No mention of the rape-per-hour(conservative estimate) committed by whites?
Oh wait, mexicans are the heathen du-jour.
Dont get me wrong, these crimes are, in my opinion, of the worst kind, but I have to wonder why a series of 3 is newsworthy, yet the staggering numbers nationwide are ignored.
