Donald Trump....The Mexico Border.....And The Circus.....

It is unfortunate that what Donald Trump said about Mexico has been so distorted.

Because people do not like Trump (which is fine) the message he was making has now been completely drowned out. 

Donald was so beaten down that no other candidate will dare talk about the problems in Mexico.

The problem is what Trump said is all very accurate.  Mexico is a disaster.  People coming across the border are bringing drugs and crime and women are being raped.  That is all true and all documented. 

None of what he said should be a surprise to anyone. But because people want to throw the “racism” word around now everyone is scared to discuss the topic.  Better to just shut up then be labeled a racist. 

But the facts are facts….. so lets look at the facts.

60,000 people murdered in Mexico from 2006 to 2012.  That is more (a lot more) people killed in Mexico then were killed in Afghanistan over the same period of time.  That is astonishing but true.

Israel fights Hamas and 1000 people die and everyone hyperventilates.  60,000 people die in Mexico and nobody is allowed to even discuss it.  That is sad.

90% of the Cocaine in the United States comes through Mexico.

Mexico earns 19 to 29 BILLION dollars a year selling drugs in the United States.

When Donald Trump says crime in the United States is coming from Mexico he is ridiculed. 

How about when the FBI says the same thing.

“Drug trafficking. Human smuggling. Extortion. Murder. Corrupt public officials. All these crimes represent a multi-billion dollar industry and they pose a threat not only to communities on both sides of the border, but to our national security as well.”

As far as I know nobody at the FBI was fired for making these statements. I have not heard the media call the FBI racist.

In 2013 Chicago named their public enemy #1.  Chicago has not named a public enemy #1 since Al Copone.  Their new public enemy #1 was a Mexican Drug lord.  Nobody said Chicago is racist when they did that.

80% of all women going through Mexico (to get into the United States) are raped. 

80%….Let that number sink in. 

Women take birth control to prevent pregnancy not “if” they get raped…… but when.

It is not the right wing media reporting this either.  It is the left leaning Huffington Post.  Nobody said the Huffington Post is racist after they reported this.

There are real problems in Mexico and at the Mexican Border.  These problems need to be discussed in a grown up fashion. 

There is now 0% chance that will happen because of the silly response to Donald Trump.  That is a real shame and a real disservice.  The Media should be ashamed for getting dragged into this nonsense, and everyone else should be ashamed for following along. 

None of this circus is going to help the raping, or the kidnapping, or the killing, or the drugs.
