Why The Left Does Not Get The Effects Of Illegal Immigration

The New York Times, the ol' gray lady, had another story today about an illegal immigrant http://lauraingraham.com. This is not just another illegal immigrant. This is the mother of one of the outstanding suspects in the execution slaying of three college students in Newark, New Jersey.
The story is the problem. Where is the story about the family of one of the three that were murdered, execution style on their knees? I am still looking for it.
Places like the New York Times on the left and libertarians from Cato Institute on the right never like to talk about this aspect of illegal immigration and the cost to society that what we have now and amnesty will do. What they will do is demonize those of us that want strong border enforcement, workplace enforcement and where I may part with some conservatives, higher legal immigration quotas. They will say and write how nativist and racist we are. But, that is further from the truth.
The reality is the infamous MS13 gang that came from El Salvador is rampant in many big cities in the United States. Newark is no different but maybe worse because of the flight of the middle class. According to the latest statistics available, 60% of family households are headed by a single mom-no dad in the picture.
When whole gangs can control whole neighborhoods of any city and many members are illegal aliens, that is a cause and effect. When the illegal gangbanger is arrested by police, processed and in the criminal justice system, they are in our jails and prisons. On the American taxpayer's dime. And these creeps are using the jails and prisons to recruit new gangbangers. They are right up there with the radical Islamics using the jails and prisons for new members.
When those in Washington get out of their rarefied air and go back to their states and really talk to constituents, not the hand-picked suck ups, they may come to realize that "comprehensive immigration reform" needs to start with border enforcement, workplace enforcement and automatic deportation of criminals. The rest can fall into place and everyone, over time, can be happy.
But, those who see illegal immigrants as new voters or cheap labor are both short sided and putting at risk the majority of Americans who have to live day to day with what our immigration "policy" hath wrought. When will the New York Times have that article? . . .
