I tuned in to President Trump’s event on immigration. Before I knew it, I had tumbled down a rabbit hole of white supremacy.

The president, in need of a change of subject from the treatment of migrant children at the border, brought in “angel” moms and dads on Friday who are “permanently separated from their loved ones” killed by illegal immigrants.

The purpose was to stoke fears that an illegal-immigrant crime wave is swamping the nation. Voluminous evidence shows that illegal immigrants don’t commit crimes in greater proportion than native-born Americans. But the angel parents had been told otherwise.

“You know,” said Mary Ann Mendoza, one of the angel moms on stage with Trump, “if the public would go to illegalaliencrimereport.com and see the magnitude of crimes being committed against your fellow Americans by illegal aliens allowed to stay in this country, you will be sickened.”

I did as she said and looked into the Illegal Alien Crime Report. I was indeed sickened by what I found: white-nationalist claims of “genocide” and a “Holocaust” being perpetrated against white Americans. And now, those promoting such filth are getting mentioned behind a lectern bearing the presidential seal, at an official event hosted by the president himself.

2. Cuban Born Frank Jorge only wants American to live here

In the video, Gibson claims that “we have a 9/11 in this country every three years,” because of people killed by illegal immigrants. The maker of the video, Frank Jorge, sits in front of a photo of Trump and says “many places have already been repopulated with third-worlders who have nothing in common with the American people,” part of a plan to lure “new citizens for the country to replace us, the American people.”

“What we have is an American holocaust,” Jorge says over an image of President Barack Obama.

“When is somebody gonna get a senator, hang him by his f------ balls and do something about this s---?” he demanded. “When is somebody going to get to some representative and f--- him up for letting our people get murdered? When is it gonna happen because it’s goddamned overdue.” Jorge added that politicians “need to bleed.”

By your own admission: Jorge, go back to Cuba. You are not an American. You are a Cuban!

4. The minority of Americans,

who are bigots were always here were just waiting for the next despot in power to show them the way to validate their white privilege and fears. I refuse to go underground while we can still turn the tide in 2018 elections. GOTV
