Worst crisis that I've ever seen?
Would you care to expand on that statement?
Illegal immigration is at the lowest it has been in 20 years, meaning that 20 years ago, 19 years ago, 15 years ago, 8 years ago, 5 years ago etc. were all worse crisis that is presently being felt. Right there,
your statement is wrong.
Here is a crisis that is truly a
worst crisis that I've ever seen:
The spike in reported
hate crimes comes amid Trump’s first year in office.
The report found that nearly 58 percent of incidents were motivated by race, ethnicity, or ancestry. Almost 22 percent were motivated by religion, and nearly 16 percent were motivated by sexual orientation. The rest were motivated by disability, gender, gender identity, and multiple kinds of bias.
About 57 percent of reported hate crimes were crimes against persons — mostly assault and intimidation, but also some murders and rapes. About 43 percent were crimes against property, particularly vandalism but also larceny-theft, robbery, and burglary. There’s some overlap between these categories, meaning some hate crimes can involve, say, both assault and robbery.
Even if the increase is in part a result of better reporting, some of the numbers — such as the sharp increase in
anti-Jewish crimes as well as anti–Hispanic and Latino crimes — are alarming.
The broader context is crucial here: The report covers the first year of President Donald Trump’s time in the White House, and he’s been repeatedly criticized, from his campaign to his presidential statements and tweets, of stoking racist sentiment, particularly against immigrants and refugees.
