    “A convicted murderer embedded with the migrant caravan from Honduras was arrested by Customs and Border Patrol last week.

    Miguel Angel Ramirez, 46, was previously imprisoned in Honduras for murder and was released in the country earlier this year, a DHS spokesman said. He was released from prison earlier this year and ended up in the caravan seeking to enter the United States near the Tijuana port of entry. Ramirez was arrested for illegal entry into the United States. As a convicted murderer, he would have been unable to enter the United States through legal means and thus resorted to illegal means.

    Tyler Houlton, a DHS spokesman, gave a statement in regards to the arrest. “As DHS confirmed weeks ago, there are at least 600 known criminals in the caravan flow. The fact that Border Patrol arrested a murderer within the first caravan-related apprehensions at our southern border proves how real the threat of the caravan is to our national security and public safety.””

    • Gee, finding a single criminal in a caravan of thousands suddenly makes the mistreatment of women and children justified for you right-wingers

      Apparently, right-wingers automatically stigmatize anybody who is from Central American countries without information. The person taken in by CBP served his sentence in prison (which in Central America would be horrific), and there is no info by the usual right-wing bloggers. I can find nothing other than the usual Cheetolini hysterics on this person, especially about what his crime entailed.

      While any death is tragic, a February 2018 study by the Cato Institute using 2015 crime statistics from Texas found immigrants in the country illegally were 25 percent LESS likely to be convicted of homicide than native-born Americans. (Legal immigrants were 87 percent less likely.)

      According to the study, immigrants in the country illegally were also 11.5 percent less likely than native-born Americans to be convicted of sexual assault and 79 percent less likely to be convicted of larceny.

      A separate March 2018 study in the journal Criminology looked at whether violent crime increases as the number of immigrants living illegally in a community goes up. Researchers found it does not. If anything, the opposite is true: Violent crime appears to fall when more immigrants are living in a community illegally.

      Bottom Line: The vast majority of research finds that immigrants do not increase local crime rates and that they are less likely to cause crime and less likely to be incarcerated than their native-born peers. Research shows that illegal immigrants have lower incarceration rates nationwide and in the state of Texas relative to native-born Americans. Consistent with those findings, immigration enforcement programs targeting illegal immigrant criminals have no effect on local crime rates, which indicates that they are about as crime-prone as other residents.

    • Before I forget, Cheetolini and his cabal have been asked NUMEROUS times to substantiate their claims of “criminals” in the caravan. This number has jumped exponentially numerous times in typical Trumpian blowhard manner. However, Trump, CBP, ICE, and DHS have NEVER released a single shred of data to prove their claims, which means it is BS. Of course, the right-wing blogosphere continues to feed the racist and bigoted hysteria
