They were “
unsure of his immigration status
”? Did anyone ask?
In the case of a blindingly false allegation of rape against Duke lacrosse players, reporters pursued details about the accused men like starved bloodhounds. We were told the men’s grades, their classes, their professors’ impressions of them, the value of their parents’ homes, their private e-mails, their every encounter with the police—and on and on.

But a child rapist named “Salvador Aleman Cruz” needs a Spanish translator in court and flees to Mexico after raping at least five little girls—and both the government and media say,
Oh yeah, we don’t know his immigration status. Why do you ask?
People who want cheap maids will tell you:
Of course Salvador Aleman Cruz isn’t the kind of immigrant we want to legalize!
But what are they doing to stop it? They’re happy to take the cheap labor and never trouble themselves with figuring out how to keep the Salvador Aleman Cruzes out.
Another hardworking illegal immigrant from Mexico is Palemon Vargas Reyes. He would already be a legal resident, on his way to citizenship, if the American public hadn’t stopped House Speaker John Boehner from taking up Marco Rubio’s “comprehensive immigration reform.” (The media learned their lesson: Henceforth, they will not inform us when Congress is considering an amnesty bill.) Reyes owned a construction business! He’s a married father of five! In April 2014—about a year after the U.S. Senate passed Rubio’s bill—Reyes was arrested for serially raping a fourteen-year-old girl. One of the rapes took place at a job site, so he really is a hard worker. The headline on this story was: “Columbus Resident Charged with Molestation.”

ONE FOR THE “NOT OUR PROBLEM” FILE
The defendant in a story the
Chattanooga Times Free Press
headlined “Smuggling Case Nets 15-Year Sentence”
10
was “man”—as he was called in another
Free Press
headline—thirty-six-year-old German Rolando Vicente-Sapon, an illegal alien from Guatemala. He had persuaded his sixteen-year-old first cousin, Yuria Vicente-Calel, to join him in the United States, where he immediately began raping her, got her pregnant, and then began sexually abusing their infant daughter.
11
So the good news is: They have an anchor baby!
What are the odds an American woman could be held as a sex slave by her cousin in a foreign country without her parents ever mentioning anything? But Yuria continued to be raped by Vicente-Sapon for five years with no complaint from her parents. And now, with Yuria’s incest anchor baby, they can come to the United States and get free healthcare, food stamps, and Social Security.
You don’t want to break up families, do you?
If you were wondering how an illegal alien was able to rape his cousin for five years before finally catching the eye of our immigration officials, the answer is: Lots of people who are subsidized by the taxpayer conspired to bring them to this country, and turn them into public charges. In order to get Yuria across the border to be his sex slave, Vicente-Sapon had hired human smugglers suggested to him by a tax-exempt Hispanic church in East Ridge, Tennessee. (He’s a churchgoer!) After he began sexually abusing his anchor baby infant daughter, publicly supported lawyers helped Yuria obtain a restraining order against him. Government officials with the Hamilton County Department of Children’s Services issued the order, but none of them contacted immigration authorities. They didn’t notice that neither Yuria nor her pedophile cousin spoke English?
Throughout Vicente-Sapon’s criminal proceedings—and appeals!—American taxpayers paid for Spanish translators, child services employees, investigators, judges’ salaries, court costs, and so on. Now taxpayers will be on the hook for his room and board in a state penitentiary. All this, for a case that should have gone into a file labeled “Not Our Problem.” We have
our own underclass that needs help. We don’t need other countries’ underclasses moving in, too.
The
Chattanooga Times Free Press
’s story on Vicente-Sapon’s conviction was headlined “Illegal Alien Arrested for Incest, Child Rape, Kidnapping, and Sex Slavery.” Just kidding! It was: “Man Guilty in Case of Human Smuggling.”
12
Oh, it was a MAN. How fascinating.
The
Free Press
never mentioned that the human smuggler was an illegal alien. That information was available only in the federal district court opinion dismissing Vicente-Sapon’s motion to exclude his statements to the police on the grounds that the Spanish translator misunderstood him. But at least the
Free Press
reported the story. According to Nexis, it was the only news outlet to do so.
ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH
Vicente-Sapon wasn’t the first immigrant criminal to game the system by claiming “translation” problems. In 2010, Annie Ling, a child-abusing Malaysian immigrant, got a new trial—thanks, American Civil Liberties Union!—after the Georgia Supreme Court held that criminal defendants who allege, after trial, that they are deficient in English are entitled to new trials with taxpayer-provided certified translators.
13
In Annie’s case, in Mandarin.
In 2011, the Arkansas Supreme Court overturned Jose Luis Mendez’s sixty-year sentence for rape and attempted murder on the grounds that the Spanish translator misunderstood his confession. This was despite the fact that the victim personally knew Mendez and testified in court that she had awoken to see Mendez on top of her, strangling her,
14
and that the doctor who examined her immediately after the attack testified that her injuries showed that she had been strangled, beaten, and raped.
15
Even when police present the defendant with a tape recording and written document giving Miranda warnings in Spanish, that won’t prevent an appeal based on translation problems. That’s how Guillermo Paniagua
Paniagua appealed his conviction for driving drunk on the wrong side of the road, running headlong into the chief of police of Needville, Texas, killing him, then fleeing the accident on foot.
16
So it’s kind of relevant when the defendant is an immigrant. Taxpayers are footing the bill for all those translators as well as the appeals denouncing the translators. With the amount of money an immigration moratorium would save U.S. taxpayers on court interpreters alone, we could build three border fences and revive NASA.
But when it comes to immigrant criminals, all the media notice is that the perp is a “man.”
THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME INTEREST IN IMMIGRANT CHILD RAPISTS
With the media aggressively hiding information about immigrant crime, citizens take to the internet to document the legions of Americans murdered, maimed, and raped by immigrants. In 2012, Malaysian immigrant Dwipin Thomas Maliackal was arrested after going to a meeting with an undercover cop who had posted on an “incest chatroom” as a father offering up his ten- and thirteen-year-old daughters for sex.
17
Maliackal, posting under the name “Horny_Indian,”
18
had told the undercover “dad” that he “would love to get [the ten-year-old] pregnant, if you’re OK with that.” He detailed various sex practices he wanted to perform on the girls—which the
Orlando Sentinel
decorously refused to print. He also admitted to having already had sex with other children, including a five-year-old neighbor. Horny_Indian was convicted and sentenced to prison for fourteen years.
On the website Libertarian Republican, Eric Dondero posted a story about Horny_Indian, and howled about the silence from the American media:
A mystery. The distinguished and hugely popular worldwide London
Daily Mail
has a feature story on alleged child rapist
Dwipin Thomas Maliackal; yet no national media in the U.S. has deemed it newsworthy. Only local coverage in the
Orlando Sentinel
and
Tampa Bay Tribune
.
Is it because it doesn’t quite fit the template? The alleged perpetrator is a South Asian from an immigrant family. He is the immediate past president of his college fraternity. He went to a college, University of South Florida, notorious for hard-left politics, multiculturalism and vicious Republican-bashing. Maliackal was an aspiring journalist. And a Bob Costa wannabee sportscaster. Minority. Went to the right school. Good chosen career path. He was a walking talking poster boy for the liberal media.
But it turns out, he is also an alleged child molester.
19
The comments section was boiling with rage—except for one commenter, who made the important point that Dondero was a racist for noticing that the child molester was an immigrant:
Apparently every time a Muslim gets charged with a sex offense it’s supposed to be national news. Because Eric is a racist coward.
That a man had admitted to having sex with a five-year-old could wait. The important point was that it was “racist” to notice that a sexual predator against American children was an immigrant. (Dondero hadn’t mentioned that the pedophile was a Muslim, but that’s good to know if I’m ever on
Jeopardy
and the category is “Immigrant Child Rapists.”)
IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS—UNLESS THE PERP IS AN IMMIGRANT
Stories like this are never broken by the mainstream media. It’s always some right-wing blog that publicizes immigrant crimes. Journalists love
to claim they only print what the public wants to know. But for as long as there has been news, people have been interested in crime stories. That’s why we have the cliché: “If it bleeds, it leads.” Quite obviously, there’s an enormous interest in stories about immigrant crime. But no amount of the public wanting to know will end the media blockade on negative information about immigrants.
Jorge Juarez-Lopez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, began raping his illegal alien girlfriend’s illegal alien daughters, ages eleven and thirteen—or possibly nine and eleven
20
—on a drive from Sacramento, California, to North Carolina. He continued raping the girls over the next couple of years, while living with them as their father. At first Juarez-Lopez would wait for their mother to leave for work, and sneak up on the girls saying: “I have a surprise for you!” But soon he was forcing the girls to perform oral sex on him even when Mom was home, as he watched for her to come up the stairs. When Juarez was caught, he shrugged and told the police—in Spanish, of course—“I belong to the government now,” a thrill, I’m sure, for North Carolina taxpayers.
Showing little anguish for what he had done, Juarez kept writing to the girls’ mother from prison, asking her “to weigh how we have lived, everything I’ve given you.” In addition to supporting Juarez in prison for the next thirty-six to fifty-three years, taxpayers will be the ones giving things to the mother, now. She also doesn’t speak English. All this so that the farming and meatpacking industries in North Carolina can refuse to mechanize their operations for a few more years, and the Democrats have a shot at turning the state blue.
Although he made quite a splash on the internet websites covering illegal alien crime, Juarez-Lopez appears in only one document on Nexis:
Indyweek
, an alternative newspaper out of Durham covering mostly music and culture. Yes, the same newspapers that had blanketed the state with daily updates about a (nonexistent) rape by the Duke lacrosse team had no interest in a real child rape case going on for years right under their noses.
Even when an illegal alien child molester is arrested in an exciting caper just a block from the
New York Times
building, they won’t report it. In 2012, illegal alien Ricardo Martinez-Gomez, who had already been deported three times, reappeared in Granville, New York, and sexually molested an eight-year-old girl at a sleepover with his girlfriend’s daughter. The little girl reported the abuse to Martinez-Gomez’s girlfriend, but she told no one, giving her boyfriend time to escape. By the time the victim told her mother, and she contacted the police, Martinez-Gomez was on a bus from Albany to New York City. Notified by the Granville police to be on the lookout, Penn Station police were waiting for Martinez-Gomez’s bus, but he somehow slipped past them. As the cops headed back to an office to review videotapes of the departing passengers, Detective Warren K. Davis happened to be walking through the station on his lunch break and spotted the accused child molester. Officer Davis asked Martinez-Gomez for identification, saw “Gerardo Cruz” on the man’s Social Security card, and recognizing it as the suspect’s alias, arrested him.
21
If Martinez-Gomez had made it out of Penn Station and strolled one block south, he might have walked right into the
New York Times
building. The
Times
would have given him sanctuary, called in La Raza attorneys, and never written a word about the case—unless it was to describe Martinez-Gomez as a hardworking immigrant with a “shy smile.” Only one news outlet wrote about the illegal alien child molester’s arrest within shouting distance of the
New York Times
building: Manchester Newspapers. It’s not even clear if the story ran in any of Manchester’s actual newspapers, or just online. When Martinez-Gomez was sentenced, only the Schenectady
Daily Gazette
reported it, in a small news blotter item.
22
Flimsy rape accusations against college athletes will be pursued to the ends of the earth. But as soon as a rape suspect is determined to be an immigrant, all news interest vanishes. On August 22, 2014, a local Milwaukee TV station posted a short item: “Illinois Fugitive Is One of Wisconsin’s Most Wanted, He’s Armando Romero-Gutierrez.”
23
Armando was a thirty-six-year-old Mexican wanted for sexually assaulting an eleven-year-old
family member. U.S. Marshals believed he was either with a brother in Wisconsin—or back in Mexico.
24
But then the media trail goes cold. It’s been almost a year. Have they found Armando?
