Why has child molestation committed by illegal aliens become an epidemic?
Contrary to what President Bush often claimed, family values do stop at the
Rio Grande for many illegal aliens. In addition to suppressing wages,
bankrupting our hospitals, and over-crowding our jails and public schools,
illegal aliens are preying upon our children
In Operation Predator sweeps across the country conducted between 2003-2007,
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents nabbed over 10,700 foreign
national child molesters. Many of these predators had been previously
convicted of other crimes, and many had already been deported once. The
number predators apprehended in the sweeps actually only represent the tip
of the iceberg.
In fact, a study conducted by the Violent Crimes Institute reports that
between 1999 and 2006, there were nearly 1,000,000 sex crimes committed in
the United States by illegal aliens.
Using U.S. Department of Justice, Immigration, as well as state and local
law enforcement data, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes
Institute determined that there are no less than 240,000 illegal alien sex
offenders currently inside the U.S.
A very cursory search on the subject of illegal aliens committing acts of
child molestation turned up countless examples of the growing problem. The
following are two recent ones:
On April 17, 2009, Judge Cecil Puryear in Lubbock, TX, sentenced illegal
alien and Mexican national Julian Vasquez to 15 years in prison for a July
2008 incident in which Vasquez broke into an apartment and sexually
assaulted a 13-year-old girl.
Vasquez broke forced his way into the dwelling located in Cora Apartments,
and shoved the girl onto the bed, tore off her shirt and bra, and fondled
her breasts, according to court documents.
The girl was able to fight off Vasquez and ran into the bathroom, where she
was able to call 911. When officers arrived, they found Vasquez still trying
to open the bathroom door.
The only defense offered by Vasquez's attorney, Jesse Mendez, was that his
client was drunk when he committed the frightening assault.
Lubbock County prosecutor Jennifer Basset told reporters: "This is an
appropriate sentence for a stranger who broke into a house to molest a
child. And this is a case where the effects on this child will not be
forgotten by her, and this is a serious crime in Lubbock County."
On April 14, 2009, illegal alien and Salvadoran national Isaac Mendez
Ramirez, 24 was arrested in Largo, FL and charged with two counts of capital
sexual battery.
Ramirez is accused of molesting a 7-year-old girl in November 2008 and again
in January 2009. According to the arrest report, Ramirez lives with the
little girl but is not related to her. He is being held in the Pinellas
County Jail.
In 2007, Americans For Legal Immigration Political Action Committee (ALIPAC)
tracked child sexual assaults committed by illegal aliens. In a 30 day
period, they recorded 27 assaults by foreign nationals illegally inside the
United States. The results are as follows:

So why does the crime of child molestation seem to be so prevalent among
illegal aliens from Mexico?.The answer may lie within the age-old Mexican
culture of "machismo," as well as within the actual laws of that country.
The crime of rape or child molestation is incredibly under-reported in
Mexico, because there is so much shame placed upon the victim as well as the
difficulty in proving the case. A 2002 Pulitzer Prize winning Washington
Post article, reporter Mary Jordan detailed the case of a 16 year old
Mexican girl who had reported being raped by three policemen in 1997. When
Yessica Yadira Diaz Cazares and her mother went to the police station to
report the rape, she was laughed at by the officers and actually jailed
overnight.
Diaz was forced by police to undergo a medical exam as well as a total of
eight blood tests. She was told that the blood tests would determine whether
or not she had actually been raped. Prosecutors told the girl that she must
physically put her hand on the men who raped her, courageously she proceeded
even as the family received death threats.
The accused officer laughed at her and verbally abused the girl as she
identified him as an attacker. Eventually, Yessica realized that justice
would never be served and simply gave up. Sadly, she not only gave up her
search for justice but her life as well. Despondent, she committed suicide
by taking an overdose of prescription pills.
After Yessica´s death, the national human rights commission pursued the
case, resulting in the conviction of two of the accused officers.
The crime of kidnapping a woman for the purpose of rape and marriage against
their will, or "rapto" as it is known in Mexico is actually a minor crime
and rarely ever prosecuted. A Mexican legislator actually called the
practice "romantic." Of course, this crime if committed in the United States
would elicit felony charges and a penalty of 20 years to life in prison.
While rape is a serious crime in the United States, many Mexican nationals
cannot understand why they are prosecuted on this side of the border. Often,
a small payment of $10 to $20 to the victim´s family will settle the matter
back in Mexico.
The most troubling and telling reason behind the growing epidemic of child
molestation at the hands of Mexican illegal aliens, is the fact the age of
sexual consent throughout the majority of Mexico is 12 years of age!
The only other nation in the world which boasts such a disregard for
childhood innocence is Zimbabwe, where the age of consent is also 12.
Article 177 of the Mexican Federal District Penal Code discusses "sexual
abuse" and punishment of other acts referred to as "unintentional"
acts -"who without purpose of reaching copulation, performs a sexual act
with a person under 12 or a person that has no capacity of understanding the
meaning of the act or that for any reason cannot resist it, or that demands
that such act is observed or performed, will be punished with 2 to 7 years
in prison".
In addition to Mexico City, the age of consent is 12 years old in the
following Mexican states:
-Aquascalientes
-Baja California Sur
-Campeche
-Coahuila
-Guanajuato
-Guerrero
-Hidalgo
-Jalisco
-Michoacan
-Morelos
-Nayarit
-Oaxaca
-Puebla
-San Louis Potosi
-Sonora
-Tabasco
-Tamaulipas
-Yucatan
-Zacatecas
The age of consent is 13 years old in Nuevo Leon and 14 years old in the
seven remaining Mexican states.
The attitude towards having sex with little girls is carried with many
Mexican men as they cross into this country.
An example of this attitude can be found in Mexican national Diego
Lopez-Mendez, who pled guilty in 2006 to sexually assaulting a 10 year old
West Virginia girl. Through an interpreter, he told the court: "In the
pueblo where I grew up girls are usually married by 13 years old..I was
unaware of the nature of the offense or that it was a bad crime."
In order to bring charges of rape in most Mexican states, the law requires
that the girl prove that she is a virgin, and that the charge of statutory
rape be dropped if the rapist wishes to marry his victim.
Of course, when discussing the issue of illegal immigration, this dirty
little secret is never talked about by our politicians, nor is the impact
that such an attitude towards the abuse of children could have on this
nation by offering amnesty to millions of Mexican nationals.
The next time someone tells you that illegal immigration is a 'victimless
crime,' remind them of the children whose lives will never be the same.
Until our politicians gain the courage to actually defend our border.Keep
your children close!
