VOICE

Donald Trump will form a new agency, Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE). It's first task to publish a regular list of all crimes committed by immigrants/aliens. This is chilling and when he announced it yesterday in his speech, there was a notable gasp in the chamber. There is only one possible reason for such an agency and list-- to sow undue fear on the immigrant/alien population. The stated goal is to raise awareness of crimes committed by aliens. OK, but unless to also supply data for other demographic groups (say white christian domestics) for comparison, you cannot make any conclusions based on the data. If the list shows that aliens committed 1000 crimes, that could be far less than any other demographic, but compiling the statistic on a list makes it seem like a lot. The sole purpose of this is to make US citizens FEAR aliens. And that my friends is PROPAGANDA worthy of Joseph Goebbels! And make no mistake, VOICE will not stop at publishing a list of crimes committed by aliens. The scope of their work will grow. And THAT is what we should FEAR!
