The reaction from some Democrats and others on the left to the
murder of Mollie Tibbetts is as despicable as it is revealing.

The mask is off and the true radical face of the Democrats has
been exposed. They are seemingly more concerned with protecting
their radical open-borders agenda than the lives of innocent
Americans.

When asked about Mollie’s murder, Sen. Elizabeth Warren — who is
for some reason considered a leading contender for the
Democrats’ 2020 ticket — played down the killing and said the
focus should be on the “real problems” of our immigration
system, such as the separation of families at our border.

Think about that for a minute. She apparently believes that
illegal alien parents being separated from their children is a
bigger problem than American parents having to bury theirs.

Editors' note: Here's what Warren said on CNN: “I’m so sorry
for the family here, and I know this is hard not only for her
family, but for people in her community, the people throughout
Iowa. But one of the things we have to remember is we need an
immigration system that is effective, that focuses on where real
problems are.” In the same interview, speaking about the
separation of children from their parents, she said, “I think we
need immigration laws that focus on people who pose a real
threat and I don’t think mamas and babies are the place we
should be spending our resources.”

But at least Warren could muster some semblance of humanity,
saying she was "so sorry for the family here.” MSNBC commentator
Christina Greer, on the other hand, dismissed Mollie and her
tragic story as “a girl in Iowa,” while CNN commentator Symone
Sanders tweeted that the murder had nothing at all to do with
illegal immigration and everything to do with “toxic
masculinity.”

Liberal media outlets went through great pains to cover the
story without actually covering the story. Instead of truthful
headlines such as “Illegal immigrant arrested in connection with
murder of Mollie Tibbetts,” multiple outlets ran headlines such
as “Man arrested in connection to disappearance of Mollie
Tibbetts.” They don’t want you to know what happened to her —
and they certainly don’t want you to know who is responsible.

Worse still, a number of media outlets and pundits insisted that
conservatives and Republicans were “politicizing” Mollie’s
murder — an absurd claim coming from the same people who used
family separation at the border to call for the abolishment of
ICE and jump at the opportunity to exploit any tragedy involving
guns to call for the end of the Second Amendment as we know it.

The most ridiculous response came from journalist Chris Riotta,
who claimed in the Independent that “Russian bots used Mollie
Tibbetts' death to distract from Michael Cohen and Paul
Manafort.” Riotta and his ilk simply can’t face the fact that
the murder of an innocent girl at the hands of an illegal alien
is news that Americans actually care about.

It’s not hard to understand why. The Left is so ideologically
committed to open borders that they can’t be honest about the
consequences of illegal immigration. If the mainstream media
reported objectively about illegal alien crime — not to mention
the effects of cheap illegal immigrant labor on the labor market
— the wall would have been built years ago and my dad’s policies
at the border would be implemented immediately.

Despite what some Democrats may wish in the depths of their
hearts, Mollie was murdered by an illegal alien and her murder
would never have happened if we policed our southern border
properly.

Unfortunately, Mollie was not the first casualty of the left’s
love for open borders. The radical policies of the Democrats
have left a trail of human wreckage in pursuit of their open
borders dream. Yet they continue to act like violent illegal
alien crime is a myth concocted by the right, despite the fact
that a Washington Times report released in January indicated
that 44 percent of people convicted of federal crimes in 2011-
2016 were non-citizens.

ways that uplift all of Iowa

The murder of Mollie Tibbetts is not a myth. It happened. So did
the murders of Kate Steinle, Dominic Durden, Sarah Root, Ronald
Da Silva, Grant Ronnebeck, Jamiel Shaw, and countless other
innocent Americans sacrificed on the Democrats’ altar of open
borders.

Enough is enough. The Democrats are pushing policies that are a
direct existential threat to the lives of innocent Americans. If
they refuse to abandon the pursuit of open borders, they must be
called out and voted out. The memories of those we’ve lost to
illegal alien violence deserve nothing less.
