Illegal aliens and sex crimes

We seldom hear the statistics about how many crimes are committed by illegal aliens here in the United States. The Coalition Against Illegal Immigration has done a fine job of reporting on this danger to our nation. The main stream media slants their stories in favor of the illegals rather than just reporting the facts. The Washington Post recently reported that 'hundreds of illegal aliens were being exploited in a prostitution ring in Maryland'. Anyone with a heart would feel sympathy for these poor folks. What the WaPo didn't tell it's readers is that the prostitution ring was being run by illegal aliens.

Andy Selepak has the story in his article, Feds Bust Illegal Immigrant Sex Ring

The Washington Post ran a February 1, 2007 story about a prostitution ring in Maryland, which left readers with the impression that American citizens were transporting illegal alien women across the U.S. and exploiting them for sexual purposes. In fact, the prostitution ring was itself run by illegal immigrants.

The omission was typical of the tendency by the Post and other media outlets to portray illegal aliens as victims, rather than perpetrators, of crime. This is how media bias works in real life.

What makes this example of media bias even worse is that reporter Steve Vogel must have decided that including the fact that three of those who have pled guilty of running the prostitution ring were here illegally was either unimportant or took away from the message of his article. Or perhaps he simply did not take the time to gather the information before writing his story. I called Vogel to ask if those who were charged with running the prostitution ring were in the country illegally, but my call was not returned.

However, after talking to Marcy Murphy, the Public Affairs Specialist for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, I was able to quickly find out that three of those who have pled guilty in the case had, indeed, entered the U.S. illegally.

Vogel’s brief story in the Washington Post was part of a Maryland Crime Briefing about a prostitution ring run by 65-year-old Olinda Aparicio, with help from her daughters Elsy Aparicio and Dorinalda Aparicio, her son Eliazor Aparicio, her sister Rosibel Aparicio Jandres, and her brother-in-law Manuel Jandres. The family, all of whom have pled guilty to involvement in the prostitution ring, transported hundreds of women from New York and New Jersey to work as prostitutes in Maryland. As Vogel put it, “The women, mostly illegal immigrants, operated from apartments and houses” in Maryland. (read it all)

Reporters and journalists are supposed to report the facts, just the facts, and ALL the facts. Omitting a piece of important information from the article because it doesn't fit someone's political agenda seems to be the norm today.

Always on Watch, I saw that and posted on it earlier. It's amazing how the MSM leaves out pertinent information when it doesn't suit their agenda. Thanks.

Oh, I well recall that story! Such obfuscation is typical of the WaPo, any time the newspaper finds a story which doesn't fit into the paper's agenda.

So-called cheap labor from illegals isn't so cheap, is it?

Debbie, this same thing happened in Memphis last year--Illegal aliens running an illegal bordello stocked with illegal aliens.

Gore says we're coming up on the tipping point of climate change, but we've already passed it with this gravy train of greed called illegal immigration.

This was in one of the episodes, i think in season to of the HBO show, the Wire. It talked about Eastern Europeon women coming in on the boats through the Baltimore Docks coming to work as prostitiutes. they are illegal aliens.

I don't know if its the same thing.

Great comments everybody. Ernesto, I must have missed that story. I will check it out.

...and we can't forget the 40 undocumented Brazilian immigrants carried in a truck; they made it as far as Falfurrias over the weekend before Border Patrol agents discovered them. The unidentified driver, listed as a U.S. citizen from Weslaco, was charged with smuggling.

ai ai... oh, meu Brasil brasileiro...

Lets be honest Debbie our government does not CARE or else we wouldnt have to be shrieking about this ad nauseum!

Yes, it's a lie by omission, and unfortunately it's typical.

In Oregon (my former home state), illegal aliens are grossly disproportionately represented in prisons. While many immigrants come here to do honest work, unfortunately a large percentage come here to abuse our country.
