    Gosh it doesn’t? But what if there were a series of news articles with headlines like “American rapes nun” or U.S. citizen stomps puppies to death" or “American-born killer shoots girlscout, steals cookies” and this goes on for years, and people post these headlines in political discussion forums even tho individually they don’t seem to be about political issues?

    Then you would think there was an attempt to plant the idea that Americans are mostly lawless violent criminals, wouldn’t you?

      For some reason “immigrant assaults woman” is ‘conservative’ news, but “alabama pastor molests 10 kids” doesn’t garner a mention. I wonder what that means, could it be that it’s an anti-immigrant agenda and nothing to do with protecting innocent people?
