RIGHTWING LOGIC:

OK, rightwingers you want to talk logic? How about this: If keeping out all immigrants will prevent all immigrant crime, then taking away all guns will prevent all school massacres. Want to go with that argument?

Bottom line: stop exploiting #MollieTibbetts
"Most research says crime tends to decrease in areas where immigrants settle, whether they’re in the country legally or illegally." washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec… My issue is with the right's inordinate focus on crimes by undocumented immigrants, while shrugging at school massacres.
If the right's aim is to protect loved ones, then why not take more drastic measures to stop gun violence by white males? Or is violence by undocumented immigrants somehow more egregious? Saying it's "preventable" is meaningless. So are school shootings, if you banned all guns.
Fixing our immigration system is an incredibly complex challenge. By the right's logic, we should penalize ALL immigrants (like mothers seeking asylum) because some undocumented immigrants commit crimes. So why not penalize ALL gun owners to prevent school massacres?
