The New Great American Wall: Misinformation and the surge of Trump.
I am sincerely appalled at the lack of information and mediocrity of the Media in this crucial election year. Even some of my most dear friends seem to be misinformed thinking that The New Great Wall of America covering The Mexican, Canadian and Alaskan border will keep us safe. Are Mr. Trump’s assertions that Mexican immigrants are murderers and rapists false? – Since neither Hispanic organizations nor the Media have shed light on this subject, let’s look at some hard facts and numbers:
All extreme Islamist terrorist who committed heinous massacres were in the US legally including the 9/11, the San Bernardino, The Boston Marathon, Dr. Hassan and others. Thus The Great American Wall wouldn’t have been of much help.
There have been 168 school shootings from January 2013 to January 2016. Most of them committed by white young men mostly in southern and western states, though not all.
The number of massacres in US History are very numerous but if we limit ourselves to the most heinous in the last 60 years starting with Charles Whitman at the University of Texas who killed 17 people and wounded 21, Bob Smith, Larry Harmon, Patrick Purdy, Eric Houston, Eric Harris and Dylan Kielbold (Columbine High), Timothy McVeigh (killed 168 and wounded 680 people), Adam Champion Lanza, Christopher Harper-Mercer, George Hermand, James Huberty, Patrick Sherill, Aaron Alexis, and Mark Barton, James Holmes and scores of others who follow generally the same pattern as above. Some of whom pleaded mental illness. In this list of nefarious characters we must add Jeffrey Weise (in a reservation), Seng Hui Cho, John Zawahri, Robert Flores, Gang Lu, One Goh, Jiverly Wong, and Maik and Ng who do not follow the profile of all the other mass terrorists in the USA. I fail to see many Hispanics in the above list, contrary to public opinion and Mr. Trump’s assertions.
Let’s look at some statistics from the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Census Bureau, The Pew Research Institute and Brookings. There were about 315,000,000 living in the USA in 2013 of which 62 percent were white only, 13 percent were black, 17,2 percent were Hispanics, and 7.6 Asian, native Americans, and others. If White Hispanics are counted as white, there would have been 77.4 percent of white people in America. According to the Department of Justice 43 percent of all violent crimes were committed by whites who make up 62 percent of the population, 22.4 were committed by Blacks who represented 13 percent of the population , and 14.6 percent were committed by Hispanics who represent 17.4 percent of the population, and 20 percent committed by Asians, American Indians and others not identified who represent 7.6 percent of the population. Therefore, the proportion of violent crimes as compared to the proportion of the population is self-explanatory.
As regards homicides statistics for 2013, they have been ranked in terms of frequency:
Black population 40.9 million people—homicides committed —2698
White population 200 million people homicides committed –2775
Hispanics 54.8 million people——–homicides committed ————- 621
Asian and others 23.9 million people–homicides committed——270.
The terms Hispanic or Latino are very hard to define since it includes people with different religions, different physical features, different languages, different income and educational levels and different countries of origin. How people are classified as such varies tremendously. It has been applied here as used by the various sources. —————————————————————–

Hispaned 
¿Por qué cuando gana la liga, se llama Barça, y cuándo gana la Champion asume la etiqueta de Barcelona? Quizás porque no interesa ser conocidos en Europa como catalanispanos sino como hispanocatalanes…
Este Madrid es tan merengoso que a veces hasta empalaga… Como los “candies”, a algunos llena, pero la vitáminas no están en el merengue sino en una gran vianda, y esa vianda hoy por hoy se llama BARCELONA…. Podéis comprar a Santo Ronaldo y cuando lo atiborréis de millones, le pasará como a Maradona para la azulgrana “no hizo ni el güevo”…
