   The reaction from some Democrats and others on the left to the   
   murder of Mollie Tibbetts is as despicable as it is revealing.   
      
   The mask is off and the true radical face of the Democrats has   
   been exposed. They are seemingly more concerned with protecting   
   their radical open-borders agenda than the lives of innocent   
   Americans.   
      
   When asked about Mollie’s murder, Sen. Elizabeth Warren — who is   
   for some reason considered a leading contender for the   
   Democrats’ 2020 ticket — played down the killing and said the   
   focus should be on the “real problems” of our immigration   
   system, such as the separation of families at our border.   
      
   Think about that for a minute. She apparently believes that   
   illegal alien parents being separated from their children is a   
   bigger problem than American parents having to bury theirs.   
      
   Editors' note:  Here's what Warren said on CNN:  “I’m so sorry   
   for the family here, and I know this is hard not only for her   
   family, but for people in her community, the people throughout   
   Iowa. But one of the things we have to remember is we need an   
   immigration system that is effective, that focuses on where real   
   problems are.”  In the same interview, speaking about the   
   separation of children from their parents, she said, “I think we   
   need immigration laws that focus on people who pose a real   
   threat and I don’t think mamas and babies are the place we   
   should be spending our resources.”   
      
   But at least Warren could muster some semblance of humanity,   
   saying she was "so sorry for the family here.” MSNBC commentator   
   Christina Greer, on the other hand, dismissed Mollie and her   
   tragic story as “a girl in Iowa,” while CNN commentator Symone   
   Sanders tweeted that the murder had nothing at all to do with   
   illegal immigration and everything to do with “toxic   
   masculinity.”   
      
   Liberal media outlets went through great pains to cover the   
   story without actually covering the story. Instead of truthful   
   headlines such as “Illegal immigrant arrested in connection with   
   murder of Mollie Tibbetts,” multiple outlets ran headlines such   
   as “Man arrested in connection to disappearance of Mollie   
   Tibbetts.” They don’t want you to know what happened to her —   
   and they certainly don’t want you to know who is responsible.   
      
   Worse still, a number of media outlets and pundits insisted that   
   conservatives and Republicans were “politicizing” Mollie’s   
   murder — an absurd claim coming from the same people who used   
   family separation at the border to call for the abolishment of   
   ICE and jump at the opportunity to exploit any tragedy involving   
   guns to call for the end of the Second Amendment as we know it.   
      
   The most ridiculous response came from journalist Chris Riotta,   
   who claimed in the Independent that “Russian bots used Mollie   
   Tibbetts' death to distract from Michael Cohen and Paul   
   Manafort.” Riotta and his ilk simply can’t face the fact that   
   the murder of an innocent girl at the hands of an illegal alien   
   is news that Americans actually care about.   
      
   It’s not hard to understand why. The Left is so ideologically   
   committed to open borders that they can’t be honest about the   
   consequences of illegal immigration. If the mainstream media   
   reported objectively about illegal alien crime — not to mention   
   the effects of cheap illegal immigrant labor on the labor market   
   — the wall would have been built years ago and my dad’s policies   
   at the border would be implemented immediately.   
      
   Despite what some Democrats may wish in the depths of their   
   hearts, Mollie was murdered by an illegal alien and her murder   
   would never have happened if we policed our southern border   
   properly.   
      
   Unfortunately, Mollie was not the first casualty of the left’s   
   love for open borders. The radical policies of the Democrats   
   have left a trail of human wreckage in pursuit of their open   
   borders dream. Yet they continue to act like violent illegal   
   alien crime is a myth concocted by the right, despite the fact   
   that a Washington Times report released in January indicated   
   that 44 percent of people convicted of federal crimes in 2011-   
   2016 were non-citizens.

   The murder of Mollie Tibbetts is not a myth. It happened. So did
