A front-page story in Monday’s San Francisco Chronicle was a common staple in liberal journalism — the illegal alien sob story. In fact, it’s likely that the Trump Presidency will someday be understood as a golden era in the questionable genre.

A frequent touch in sob stories is the excessive use of emotive adjectives and descriptive images to portray the increasing presence of foreign aliens as acceptable, seen here in phrases like “vibrant immigrant community.”

Another distraction from facts is the complaint about the president who characterizes “undocumented immigrants in particular as killers, rapists, drug smugglers and job stealers.”

That approach was bad timing on the day when illegal alien Wilbur Ernesti Martinez-Guzman was arrested in Nevada for the murder of four Americans. That case illustrates that the body count of preventable illegal alien murders continues to mount because the Congress refuses to enact basic public safety on the border.

Below, the Chron pictured an illegal alien described as a “grape picker” preparing Mexican food in her Lodi home to feed her three anchor kids.

It’s rather unlikely that the taxes (assuming any) from the “grape picker asylum seeker” cover the education and other services that California taxpayers fund for her three anchor offspring — say $11,495 per-pupil in 2016 just for schooling x 3 = $34,485 annually. And why would California take seriously her asylum claim from Mexico when so many Central Americans resettle there because it is safer than their homelands?

In a non-sanctuary state, Floricel Ramos would have already been deported.

Notice how President Trump is presented throughout the article as the problem, not the lawbreaking presence of the Mexican grape picker and others of her ilk.
