Did you hear the awful story of a young Muslim girl out for a fun evening with friends, who was run down by a man and beaten to death with a metal baseball bat?

Her lifeless body was then dumped in a pond and while it’s unclear why he did it, one pertinent detail has been left out of much of the media coverage.

For some reason, many of the mainstream media reports, either forgot or failed to mention that the savage who brutally beat and murdered Nabra Hassanen was Darwin Martinez Torres, a 22-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

We all know why.

Many progressives make border security all about race. They vilify President Trump and label him racist for his travel ban, for wanting to build a wall and for going after sanctuary cities that give safe harbour to illegals.

Well, here’s an inconvenient truth for them:

A Latino man who should never have been in the U.S. was living here nevertheless. This afforded the thug an opportunity to kill a teenager who was a legitimate, law-abiding U.S. citizen.

So maybe border security isn’t about race after all?

Maybe it’s all about keeping the likes of a Darwin Martinez Torres from entering a sovereign nation and doing harm to its law-abiding and tax-paying citizens?
