Yeah, well, it used to be a taboo that you just you couldn't talk about these cases until Donald Trump started talking about them and angel moms and dads when he first rose to prominence about 10 years ago.

And this doesn't mean that all illegal immigrants are murderers or terrible criminals, obviously.

But the other side won't acknowledge that it's a unique tragedy when you have someone who shouldn't have been in the country in the first place snuffing out a young life like this.

And it isn't, though, this this guy was a mastermind and snuck past our authorities.

We caught him.

And then we released him, and then he was caught in shoplifting as well.

And this just goes – there's been a big debate over the data, over how many deported illegal immigrants are criminals or not.

The number that are actually violent criminals is fairly low.

I don't know what it is, 7 or 8 percent.

But there's a huge percentage that have committed other crimes besides being here illegally, and they should all be detained and go –

As well.

So this never should have happened.

The people who are in favor of an open border and letting people like this stay in the country are partly responsible.

And as you point out, they should at least acknowledge what happened.

And just saying wrong place, wrong time, like she was in the worst part of South Side Chicago and something awful happened, which would be terrible enough.

She was walking towards the beach on a nice night with friends.

And this guy ambushed them out of...

Totally disgusting and shameful and heartbreaking.

Yeah, so this is a classic instance also of why a broken windows approach to policing makes sense.

You police small acts of disorder to keep worse things from happening.
