If America had taken in 40 million Norwegians1 over the past few decades, wouldn’t we get a few articles about these strange Nordic people’s brusque manners?2 Of course, we couldn’t actually take 40 million Norwegians because there are only about 5 million of them in Norway. To approximate the number of Mexicans who have come to the United States since 1970, we’d have to import the entire populations of Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Ireland.
What will America be like when it’s majority Hispanic in order to give the Democrats votes and businesses cheap labor? The media could have made this easy to see by reporting the truth about immigrant sex crimes. But they won’t do that. We’ll never know the story of FLORENTINO LOPEZ-PALOMINOS, listed on the Yakima County docket as charged with “SEX MISCONDUCT 1 DV; INCEST 1 DV”—though you might notice a pattern in the incest cases if you ever peruse your local criminal dockets. To bypass media censorship, we’ll look at a few famous sex crimes, ICE raids and international reports, and the prevalence of prepubescent birth mothers.
NOT BEN FRANKLIN’S AMERICA
The three young girls kidnapped and held as sex slaves for more than a decade in a boarded-up house in Cleveland had been held by Ariel Castro. Even the New York Times couldn’t avoid reporting that story. But then it turned out Castro wasn’t the only Hispanic raping young girls—on his block. While investigating the Castro case, detectives happened upon Elias Acevedo, forty-nine, who had lived down the street from Castro. Acevedo, they discovered, had routinely raped his own daughters when they were children. He had also raped his brother’s common-law wife when she was eighteen years old and pregnant. And he had raped and killed two of his neighbors in the 1990s. All in all, it wasn’t a great street to go trick-or-treating on. Acevedo pleaded guilty to 173 counts of rape, 115 counts of kidnapping, and one count of gross sexual imposition. The only mention in the Times of this case of incest, child rape, and murder—on the same block as the sensational Ariel Castro case—was a tiny Associated Press item on page A-18, headlined: “Ohio: Life Sentence in Murders and Rapes.”3 Possible New York Times obituary for Hitler: “Austrian Painter Kills Self.”
Chandra Levy’s killer turned out not to be Democratic Congressman Gary Condit, but Ingmar Guandique—an illegal alien from El Salvador, given temporary amnesty by President Bush.4 (Does that guy have any brothers? I’d love to see another one like him in the White House!) The one Central Park rapist that even liberals admit was guilty was Hispanic: Matias Reyes.5 After the other attackers had finished with the victim, Reyes came across the jogger’s beaten and bloody body, and raped her himself.6 Among Reyes’s many, many other rapes, he had also raped and killed a pregnant woman in the presence of her children, and he had even raped his own mother.7
PENIS-CHOPPING IMMIGRANTS
The incessant rape in Hispanic societies seems to have driven the women mad. American doctors pioneered penis reattachment surgery after Ecuadoran immigrant Lorena Gallo chopped off the one belonging to her husband, John Bobbitt. After her arrest, Lorena told the police that she had chopped it off because: “He always have orgasm, and he doesn’t wait for me to have orgasm. He’s selfish.”8 (Whatever happened to the silent treatment?)
For scholars: The only other instance of this particular crime being committed against an American man occurred in 2011—by another immigrant. The man’s Vietnamese bride, Catherine Kieu, cut off her husband’s penis, then ground it up in the garbage disposal. Apparently, she was angry that he was divorcing her. Luckily for Kieu, she was from Vietnam, allowing her lawyer to blame her behavior on the trauma of growing up in a war-torn, impoverished nation.9
BABY HOPE
The 1991 discovery of a child’s decaying body in a cooler led to a twenty-two-year search for her rapist-murderer.10 Finally, in 2013, police got a tip that led them to Baby Hope’s rapist and murderer: It was her cousin, fifty-two-year-old Conrado Juarez, an illegal alien from Mexico, who admitted to smothering the four-year-old while raping her. The girl’s name was Anjelica Castillo and her parents were also illegal immigrants from Mexico. In all, about six family members knew something about the crime but never said anything.11 Juarez said that it was his sister, Balvina Juarez-Ramirez, who helped him dispose of the girl’s body.12 At the time of Juarez’s arrest, Baby Hope’s mother was still living illegally in New York with some of her ten children. After several weeks of interrogation, the mother finally admitted that she always suspected Baby Hope was her daughter, but never told the police.13
This case of incest, child rape, and murder was entirely an illegal immigrant affair. Baby Hope’s parents were illegal immigrants, the cousin who raped and murdered her was an illegal immigrant, and the cousin who helped dispose of the body was an illegal immigrant. Wouldn’t that be an important fact to put right up there in the headline? To even mention, at all? New York taxpayers had spent a kazillion dollars trying to solve the Baby Hope case. Weren’t they entitled to know?
PROSECUTORS AND THE PRESS AS FORTHCOMING AS USUAL
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office sent out a press release on Juarez’s indictment that said nothing about Juarez being an immigrant of any sort, certainly not illegal.14 The NYPD spent twenty-two years and a small fortune trying to solve a case that never should have happened in this country in the first place. How many other crimes went unsolved because, for two decades, the police were pouring resources into a manhunt for a Mexican illegally in this country, who committed child rape and murder in New York City?
Nor did the New York Times mention that Baby Hope’s killer and his accomplices were all illegal aliens from Mexico. The Times’ extensive reporting managed to cover that the child, Anjelica Castillo, had been born in Elmhurst Hospital Center in Queens in 1987, that her murderer worked as a dishwasher at Trattoria Pesce Pasta on Bleecker Street, and that Juarez and his sister had hidden the cooler containing the girl’s dead body “in a wooded area near the Dyckman Street exit off the Henry Hudson Parkway.” The Times described how the cops had eventually tracked down the child rapist. (A tip from a woman whose friend had mentioned that her sister had been murdered led the police to DNA on an envelope licked by Baby Hope’s mother, and finally to Juarez.) The Times also recounted how Juarez’s daughter had lied to the police, telling them her father “had been in Mexico for the last 12 years,” just before Juarez’s wife admitted that he had left for work downtown at 7:00 a.m. that morning.
I guess the fact that the whole lying, murdering, child-molesting, body-disposing family were illegal immigrants from Mexico would have taken the Times over its word limit. Instead the paper lied about the family’s immigration status, calling Baby Hope’s father “an immigrant from Mexico.”15 Reporting the “immigrant” part but not the “illegal” part implies that he had immigrated legally.
It would be like a bulletin on President Lincoln’s assassination:
Shots Fired at President
WAS HE HIT???
Oh yeah, he died. What? Did we say anything that was untrue?
The rest of our constitutionally protected guardians of liberty were similarly tight-lipped on the “illegal alien” aspect of this monstrous crime:
Neither CBS16 nor ABC News17 disclosed that Juarez was not just your regular boy-next-door American child rapist.
Newsday of Long Island also gave no indication that Juarez was an immigrant.18
CNN’s story on Juarez’s capture did not mention that he was an immigrant, although keen observers might have noticed that Juarez needed a translator.19 (Yes, after being in the United States for twenty-five years, the child rapist still couldn’t speak English.)
The New York Daily News didn’t mention that Juarez was an immigrant, but did provide a crucial clue, saying: Juarez “only speaks Spanish.”20
Even People magazine, famous for mentioning the unmentionable, said nothing about Juarez’s illegal status.21
The bewilderment expressed in the comments sections on news stories about Juarez’s capture shows that re
aders hadn’t the first idea that the participants were all illegal immigrants from Mexico.22
SOMETIMES WE’RE NOT RESCUING VICTIMS, WE’RE BRINGING IN ACCOMPLICES
This is where cultural differences can create problems. Americans aren’t used to female relatives of raped and murdered children actively helping the perpetrator get away with it. They can’t grasp that the girl’s parents either didn’t know or didn’t care that she had been raped and murdered.
Far from “I am woman, hear me roar,” these are cultures where women aren’t accustomed to standing up to men, even men who rape kids. In 2013, illegal immigrant Bertha Leticia Rayo was arrested for allowing her former husband, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, to rape her four-year-old daughter, then assisting his unsuccessful escape from the police. The rapist, Aroldo Guerra-Garcia, was aided in his escape attempt not only by his ex-wife, but by another woman, Krystal Galindo. (Kind of a ladies’ man, was Aroldo.) Guerra-Garcia entered a plea to aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child and was sentenced to eleven months in prison. In a separate case, the mother of the child rape victim was indicted for cruelly beating the child.23
That same year, the government busted up a child pornography operation in Illinois being run out of the home of three illegal aliens from Mexico, including one woman. At least one of them, Jorge Muhedano-Hernandez, had already been deported once. Peoria Journal Star headline: “Bloomington Men Plead Guilty to False Documents.”24
In 2014, Isidro Garcia was arrested in Bell Gardens, California, accused of drugging and kidnapping the fifteen-year-old daughter of his girlfriend, then forcing the girl to marry him and bear his child. The mother suspected Garcia, then thirty-one years old, had been raping her teenaged daughter, but did nothing. All three were illegal aliens from Mexico.25
In New Mexico, there was a father-son child rape duo. When being sentenced for repeatedly raping a three-year-old and an eight-year-old, Mexican illegal immigrant Luis Casarez’s argument to the judge that he did not deserve jail time sounded like Marco Rubio’s talking points about hardworking illegal immigrants with roots in America: “I have been here for many years”—Casarez said, incongruously, through a translator. “That’s why,” he added, “I’ve been working instead of getting involved with problems.” Other than that one thing.
Two weeks after Luis Casarez was indicted for child rape, his son, Luis Casarez Jr., was indicted in a separate case of child rape.26
HISPANIC CHILD RAPISTS POP UP IN NEBRASKA, INDIANA—EVEN HAWAII
Immigration raids show a pattern completely undetectable by our media. In June 2014, immigration officials in California decided to round up what sounds like an extremely narrow category of immigration violators: previously deported illegal aliens who had been convicted in the United States of sex crimes and were living in the Los Angeles area. Within three days, they had arrested thirty-one people who fit that description.27
That same month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted raids in six states not known for having large illegal alien populations—Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and Missouri. They netted 297 illegal immigrants, nearly 80 percent of whom had been convicted of crimes in the United States, including aggravated battery of a child, sexual assault of a minor, solicitation of a child, aggravated criminal sexual assault, battery, and domestic abuse. Of the twenty-four illegal aliens arrested in the Wichita, Kansas, area, all but one were from Latin America; nineteen were from Mexico.28
Hispanic sexual predators show up in all sorts of legal cases. In 2013, the Nebraska Supreme Court was asked to decide whether Hector Medina-Liborio, a twenty-eight-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, could withdraw his no-contest plea to abducting and raping a four-year-old girl, on the grounds that the judge had not expressly advised him that his conviction for child abduction and rape could lead to deportation, even though there was evidence that he knew it. (As the kids say: Duh.) The court ruled that if judges neglect to inform illegal aliens that no-contest pleas to child abduction and rape can have immigration consequences, the defendant will be entitled to withdraw his plea.29
After thirty-year-old Manuel Antonio Fajardo-Santos, an illegal immigrant from Honduras, was arrested in New Jersey for molesting the nine-year-old sister of his girlfriend, he posted bail, but then went straight into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Worried that the Honduran would be deported before he could be criminally punished, the state tried to regain custody of him by increasing his bail. The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled—in a case of first impression—that deportation proceedings constituted changed circumstances under the law, allowing the bail amount to be raised.30
It’s great that we have so many Latin Americans in the United States, raping young girls, so the courts can work out these thorny legal issues.
Even in Hawaii, where the population is only 2.7 percent Mexican,31 a Mexican child molester pops up. In 2012, forty-seven-year-old Jose Luis Hernandez-Dominguez was sentenced to ten years in prison for sexually molesting a five-year-old girl over an extended period, while his wife babysat the girl. Both the child rapist and the victim were illegal immigrants.32 Hernandez-Dominguez’s molestation conviction made the local news, along with the information that he was an illegal alien. Apparently, there’s not a lot of white guilt among native Hawaiians.
There are so many Hispanic child rape cases that in a state like California the same judge can hear several of them. Thus, a few years after presiding over the case of immigrant rapist Guatemalan Willy Alejandro Jimenez, who had grabbed a four-year-old girl in a Palo Alto parking lot, raped her, beaten her unconscious, then thrown her naked body from a moving car,33 the same judge also presided over the case of fifty-year-old immigrant child rapist Paul Narvios,34 who repeatedly raped his girlfriend’s nine-year-old daughter, getting her pregnant and making her one of only four girls under the age of ten to give birth in the United States.35
INTERNATIONAL STUDIES AND CHILD PREGNANCIES
International studies about child sex crimes in Latin America never seem to get the prominent media coverage of studies purporting to show that Fox News viewers are idiots,36 but they exist. According to the Latin American and Caribbean Youth Network for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (REDLAC), 77 percent of reported sexual assaults in Lima, Peru, are against child victims.37 In the late 1990s, girls between the ages of ten and fifteen accounted for more than 15 percent of all births in Argentina and 17 percent of all births in Uruguay.38 By contrast, less than 2 percent of births in the United States are to girls in that age group—and most of those are Hispanics.39 In the United States, Hispanics are seven times more likely to give birth between the ages of ten and fourteen (1.4 per thousand) than whites (0.2 per thousand), according to a Centers for Disease Control study.40
The prevalence of freakishly young birth mothers in Latin America confirms the reports. According to CNN, 318 ten-year-old girls gave birth in Mexico in 2011 and in the Mexican state of Jalisco alone 465 girls between the ages of ten and fourteen gave birth.41 In the last quarter century, there’s been one reported case of an American impregnating a girl that young.
You might have noticed from headlines like these—or you would if you lived in Britain, the only place where such headlines might ever appear:
“Girl Aged Nine Who Gave Birth to Baby in Mexico Didn’t Realize She Was Pregnant until Seven Months—and Her Mother Didn’t Think It Was a Crime”42
“Argentine Schoolgirl, 12, Gives Birth to Twin Sons (on Same Day Mexican Nine-Year-Old Became a Mother)”43
“Tribal Law Protects Boy, 15, Who Impregnated 10-Year-Old Colombian Girl from Under-Age Sex Charges”44
Although records from the 1930s are suspect, the youngest mother in history is said to be five-year-old Lina Medina, who gave birth in Peru in 1939.45 Counting only specific cases with provable facts reported in the news since 1900, five eight-year-old girls are known to have given birth—two in Colombia, and one each in M
exico, Peru, India (a Muslim),46 and Chechnya (another Muslim).47 As a result of the United States’ meticulous recordkeeping, the apparent rate of medical oddities in America is inflated in every category compared with official records from most other countries. Nonetheless, no eight-year-old girls have yet given birth in the United States—unless we’re counting an apocryphal story of Bill Clinton’s surgeon general, Joycelyn Elders, who, while pushing sex ed for kindergarteners, claimed to have heard about an eight-year-old in rural Arkansas who gave birth to twins, which no Arkansas doctors had heard of or believed.48
Since 1990, the media have reported on fifty-three specific girls aged ten or younger who have given birth in Latin America.49 In the United States, with a population about 70 percent the size of the nine countries where those births occurred,50 there were four reported births to girls that young—and three were to immigrants. Two were fathered by Hispanic immigrants, one by a Haitian illegal immigrant, and one by an American. But for William Edward Ronca,51 there would not be a single confirmed case of a white man in the Western Hemisphere impregnating a girl ten years old or younger. Go USA.
In fact, William Ronca appears to be the only white man in the entire world who has impregnated a girl that young. In all of Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand combined, there have been eight reported births to girls aged ten or younger. Seven of the eight involved immigrants.52
THEY’RE CHANGING US
In 1840 the famous chronicler of America, Alexis de Tocqueville, noted that although many criminal offenses in England had been abolished in the new country, Americans “still make rape a capital offence, and no crime is visited with more inexorable severity by public opinion.”53 He contrasted America with France, where rape was punished with far lesser penalties and “it is frequently difficult to get a verdict from a jury against the prisoner.” Our Supreme Court improvidently abolished America’s centuries-old tradition of permitting capital punishment for rape in 1977—over the objections of the Court’s two conservative justices, William Rehnquist and Chief Justice Warren Burger. But rape is still considered a pretty serious crime.
