Undocumented immigrants commit violent crimes at such a lesser rate than US citizens to the point that it is obvious that candidates who ignore this fact, are only appealing to their racist-base, and don't care about the crime itself at all. 🧐 So only the undocumented get a public executions here, but not citizens for the same crime? šŸ‘‰ The Cato Institute analyzed data from Texas in 2019 and found that undocumented immigrants had lower conviction rates for violent crimes. šŸ‘‰ A 2018 study in Criminology found that undocumented immigration is not associated with higher violent crime rates šŸ‘‰šŸ‘‰ and may even be linked to reductions in crime.

My life is a testament of Jesus Christ, and I'm gonna use the platform that he gave me to glorify his name and to speak the word of God. It's that simple. Public executions for any illegal that rapes or kills an American, they don't deserve deportation. They deserve to be ended. Well, that escalated quickly.

You know, nothing says Jesus quite like public execution. She truly is like the Romans. Anyways, for those who don't know, this is a GOP candidate from Missouri who's running for office here in Texas, so we'll see if she can make it past her 2026 primary election. But you see this a lot with GOP primaries. They try to tend to one up each other, try

to thump their chest, make a lot of noise. And this is not constitutional, by the way, back in 1977 in the Supreme Court case of Corker versus Georgia, it was ruled that the death penalty cannot be applied to a rape crime alone. Also in 2008 in Kennedy versus Louisiana, the Supreme Court also stated that the death penalty cannot be applied to a child rape crime alone.

Now I understand that different people have different feelings about that, but the main thing that you need to understand more than anything, please walk away with knowing that people who are here who are undocumented commit less amount of crimes than us citizens do. By far. People who are here who know they can easily get deported, they want to keep their head down.

They're not committing crimes. You are far statistically more likely to get assaulted or something like that by someone who looks like me and is a citizen far more than anyone who was here undocumented. What you're hearing right now is just racist rhetoric. It's just straight up rhetoric because the reality is this. If you actually cared about rape victims, you would be

looking at the crime alone and not say that if they committed the rape crime and was also here as undocumented. Because what you're saying when you apply that rules, you're saying it's easier or finer or more okay for someone like me who is a citizen to commit a rape crime more than it would be for someone who is here who is undocumented.

When in reality, I would think a rape crime would be a rape crime. It doesn't really matter if you're here undocumented or not. That's a pretty terrible crime, and you should probably face whatever repercussions you should face regardless upon your status. Now, that said alone, if you really believe that public execution is the way to go about things, that's your own prerogative.

That's also not constitutional as well, that goes against the Eighth Amendment. So I'm really curious as to what this candidate really wants to press for when it comes to legislation. What is realistically going to pass? Is this something she's serious about, or is there actually anything here, or is this just rhetoric? Just rhetoric to raise eyebrows and raise attention.
