It saddens me that this has become a political football. It disgusts me that the GOP’s shameless transition from “no rape at all; made up liberal lies” has morphed into a screed against immigration. As “Shod” pointed out above, what if the victim was also undocumented? What’s the narrative then?
The issue, Mr. Kelley, is not that the child was raped at all, nor even that she was raped by an “illegal”. The issue is that anyone who forces a child of ten to bear a child is guilty of unforgivable child abuse.
The rapist was a documented worker in 2015 when he came here and overstayed his work visa becoming illegal. The tRump Admin didn’t chase down those who overstayed.
I find I must comment here. While I understand his commentary, or angle, I must say that this crosses a line for this conservative. While I will debate the validity of many issues, Mr Kelly crossed a line here with me. I don’t find this humorous or ironic, just plain distasteful.
This is a disgusting replay of the Trump trope that immigrants, especially from south and central America are rapists and murders.
One might argue that there are immigration problems, but let’s discuss them as problems that we can solve rather than continue the divisive stereotyping and misrepresentations.
This comic is spot on. The posters above don’t get it. Well done, Steve. I should point out that the more replies you get from liberals means you hit a nerve. Always take pleasure in that too.

Kelly thinks only illegals do the raping.

Interesting. The character that Steve listed as his stand in used the words “needed an abortion”.

Good point. If we would just machine gun people crossing the border, there would be no crime in America. /s

So is the woman supposedly saying the border raped the little girl or that American citizens don’t commit such horrific crimes?

Except undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower levels than do American citizens. But why bother with facts, huh?

I have heard that the rapist had been in the country for 7 years already. So pre-Trump?

This is a classic example of “justification” and it’s so childish. Should have, could have, would have.

Kelley nails it again. Makes Dementia Joe look foolish. But it’s really not that hard these days.
