It doesn't have to be. To me it's just more proof that many Mexican immigrants are really refugees. mucifer Jul 2015 #6

Is it that important to be the top news or is this a story to follow because it does go well with what's media trending because of Trump?
Different news sites have side stories too like who is El .Chapo???
I don't know and don't care and he is not even in this country but I will give that it is a hook to Trumps current show

The stories I hear from some of my patients about the cartels are absolutely horrifying.

It's true I don't hear them from every Mexican family. But, many of them are afraid to go back to their country and would rather stay in low income parts of Chicago. The Chicago gangs do kill lots of people. But, there aren't mass graves and tortured and mutilated children.

There are lots of drug cartels in the Mexican states of Michaocan and Guerrero. In the smaller towns they often are the local government. There are many many immigrants from these states who come to Chicago.

Trumps attitude is that it's all the criminals that are here. There are some. But, if the story is told correctly, it's mostly the victims that come here.

If not, I fail to see how your logic makes sense. He already got a huge boost from the racist brigade, well before this.
