WH: High School Rape Case Shows ‘Toll’ Illegal Immigration Takes on Americans

The White House on Tuesday called the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl in the boys bathroom of a Maryland high school last week by two male students - one of whom was on an “alien removal” list - “a tragic event” that no one should ever have to deal with.

He said “schools should be a safe place” where children can learn and feel safe, “and to know that this happened and the circumstances this young woman in particular fought to come to this country legally because of the freedoms and the treasures of this nation, and to think that this kind of tragedy would occur to someone who’s personally endured that kind of struggle to come to this nation and then face this is reprehensible, and it is not who we are as a country.”

Montgomery County, Md., has a sanctuary policy where the police deliberately don’t cooperate with ICE. The city of Rockville is considering adopting its own sanctuary policy this week.
