Preventing crimes, be it this case or any other, involves an honest look at all the facts surrounding the criminal act. In this case, a preventive measure would have been protecting US citizens from risks associated with having a porous border. |
Typical conservative bait and switch after being caught in a bald-faced lie accusing a 10-year old rape victim of lying and being compelled to leave Ohio for an abortion. Now instead of admitting that they lied (on Fox News, WSJ, in Congress, the Ohio AG and elsewhere), they change their message to cater to their base's xenophobia. Needless to say, Whell is willing to pick up that torch.
AFAIK, there is no data to suggest that illegal immigrants engage in rape more than anyone else. Indeed, one the most outspoken liars in this episode is Gym Jordan, a guy with a history of denying sexual assaults.
