In an era where accountability is paramount, especially for those who work tirelessly to support their families and communities, the evident distortion of crime and immigration data demands our attention. This manipulation not only obscures reality but also threatens the safety and security of our neighborhoods. Many hardworking Americans, particularly those over 60 who have devoted their lives to this great nation, feel their voices have been ignored by a media and government that refuse to acknowledge the truth about crime and immigration.
The issues surrounding crime data suppression are not just bureaucratic inconveniences; they directly impact the well-being of our communities. Over the years, especially during the Obama and Biden administrations, we have witnessed a troubling trend of certain cities, often led by Democratic mayors, failing to provide crucial crime statistics. This is not a minor oversight—it’s a consistent pattern that disregards transparency. For instance, major cities like New York and Los Angeles have repeatedly neglected to report their crime data, creating a misleading narrative that suggests crime rates are lower than they really are. This puts our communities at risk, as officials may not have an accurate understanding of the threats we face.
Moreover, the existence of sanctuary cities further complicates the alarmingly high rates of violent crime associated with gang activity. When jurisdictions do not track crimes by immigration status, we are left with an incomplete picture of who is committing these crimes. This issue is particularly concerning for the American workforce, especially those from blue-collar backgrounds who take pride in their communities. Many of you have witnessed firsthand how crime impacts local families and neighborhoods, and it’s clear that without comprehensive reporting, the realities we face as a nation are being hidden.
Furthermore, the dismantling of vital intelligence programs under previous administrations has weakened law enforcement’s ability to combat crime. Programs like the National Drug Intelligence Center, which once provided critical insights into crime trends, have been closed. This hinders efforts to maintain safety and security, putting hardworking community members at greater risk.
Moving forward, it is essential that we advocate for transparency and accuracy in crime reporting. Under President Trump, we witnessed a commitment to returning to an evidence-based approach to crime and immigration data. It is crucial to hold our leaders accountable to ensure they serve the interests of the people—your interests. Accurate data empowers communities to take informed actions that enhance safety and security. Let us demand that our voices be heard and protect our families and communities against the threat of misinformation and mismanagement. The truth matters, as do our hardworking citizens.
