Ambitious Democrat Maryland Governor and former Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley is insisting that the illegal immigrant children flooding across the border from Central America should be treated as "refugees" and given asylum so they are not sent back to "certain death."
But the murder rate in Baltimore while O'Malley was mayor was often greater than those in the countries that the illegal immigrants are fleeing. Nearly 75 percent of the illegal immigrant children who are unlawfully entering the country are arriving from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. O'Malley, a potential 2016 presidential candidate currently languishing at one percent in the polls, criticized those said wanted to send children back to countries where they would would be "recruited into gangs" and die "a violent death.”
According to a 2013 United Nations report, Honduras has the world's top homicide rate at 91 per 100,000 people. But El Salvador's and Guatemala's rivals Baltimore's during O'Malley's tenure as mayor. El Salvador, which ranks fourth, has a murder rate of 41.2 per 100,000 and Guatemala, which ranks fifth, has a murder rate of 39.9 per 100,000.

The media in Maryland is shameful in giving O'malley a pass on everything he says he has done with no scrutiny what so ever.Sounds like the msm with Obama and democrats.
ReplyDeleteAnd they want to take away their ability to defend themselves in Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine what the murder rate would be like nationwide under O'Malley's watch as president!!
ReplyDeleteSend them back. Why were they let across the border in the first place? They would not be our problem if we refused entry to undocumented immigrants.
ReplyDeleteWe do have these laws on the books, you know.
