Isaiah Factor uncensored starts
right now. And thank you for
staying up late with us. We have
a great program for you and some
great guests and topics you
probably will talk about again
tomorrow. Tonight we address the
elephant in the room with a
reality check. While many will
say most undocumented immigrants
come to America to make a better
life, there are some some, just
like any other group who will
come to America to commit
crimes. We start in Houston,
where 12 year old Jocelyn
Nungaray was allegedly murdered
by Johan Jose Martinez. Angel
and Franklin Pena, both
undocumented immigrants who
remain behind bars in Houston.
Just yesterday, another
undocumented 23 year old, Victor
Hernandez, was arrested in
Oklahoma for the murder of
Rachel Moran in Maryland back in
August of 2023. Joining us to
talk about this, Cesar Espinosa
from Field Doctor Diedrich von
Bittenfeld from the University
of Houston, downtown Melissa
Wilson of the Urban
Conservatives of America, and
from Crime Stoppers, Andy Kahn,
thank you all for joining us
here on The Factor. First of
all, your thoughts about this
matter that we're talking about
tonight. Isaiah, I just came
back. I was at the candlelight
vigil tonight and I've been
sadly at a lot of candlelight
vigils. But tonight was
absolutely overwhelming. The
community support for Jocelyn. I
mean basically she's become
everybody's daughter,
everybody's sister. And she's
galvanized the entire city. You
had the mayor there. I've been
doing this for 30. This the
first time I've seen a mayor in
over 30 years, attend a
candlelight vigil on behalf of a
victim of a violent crime, a
homicide. And you had the police
chief. And kudos to HPD. They
did an amazing job getting these
two suspects taken into custody
and charging them. But, you
know, I look at this and I see
this, and I was at another one
last and last August, 11 year
old Maria Gonzalez, you might
remember her in Pasadena that
was also strangled by an
undocumented immigrant. I don't
know what's happened in in our
country right now. All I'm
concerned about is making sure
victims are taken care of all
right, your thoughts, well, for
one, I want to commend Mayor
Whitmire in his press conference
for acknowledging that these
criminals should not have a bond
, and so, you know, we have an
issue here, that the public is
not taken the border issue.
Serious enough. Yes. There are
people who come here legally.
We're talking about the people
who come here illegally, and
they remain here. You have, you
have people coming over here
overstaying visas. It's not
being taken seriously until just
recently. Where the Biden
administration saw that his
ratings were at 30% when it came
to this issue. And so, when you
have a 12 year old girl that's
being brutally murdered, at some
point you have to wake up and
say hello, okay, where are we
going to go from here? Because
she's not the only one that this
has happened to. It's happened
to several of these young women.
And to be a mother of girls
myself, and to know that any
moment my child could be taken
away from me, and then
especially from an undocumented
immigrant who shouldn't be here
in the first place. All right.
So let's hear from you, because
your whole thing is and you've
been here time and time again,
you always say they just want to
cut, and I don't want to say
they because that sounds
horrible. Individuals who may
they simply want to work and
make a better living for their
family. But just like any other
group out there, there are bad
apples. Well, so first of all,
our heart goes out to this
suffered an immense and
unimaginable tragedy, and I
think this is I wish you had a
six hour show so we could really
dive into this thing, you know,
there's a problem in America and
all over the world against, men
committing crimes against women.
Just period. In Mexico
everywhere. And we have to turn
women to creating men who are
not going to be predatory and go
after women, that's that's one
the second thing, I've been
doing this for a little bit less
than Andy, and I've certainly
of these things. This thing
keeps happening time and time
again. And the state legislature
, I disagree, refuses to, amend
laws to make it more punishable
for people not to get bonds for
people. So there's a lot of
mixed things. But this is
charged politically just because
President Trump keeps beating
the drum saying immigrants are
this. And that's like me saying
that every Caucasian in America
is going to be accountable
because, Jeffrey Dahmer was a
cannibal and we cannot win. We
should not label everybody under
one umbrella, because then that
creates, that creates a target
on people's backs on the entire
community where we have good,
hard working people. So we want
to see these people taken away.
We want to see these people
serve their time. And for this
family to get justice. But we
should be really careful about
saying that, undocumented
immigrants are doing this and
that because unfortunately,
people get murdered and women
specifically get murdered in
this country all the time. All
right. Doctor Von Bittenfeld
from the University of Houston
downtown have we been too
careful and handling
undocumented immigrants with
kids gloves because he just like
he just said, we should be
careful about what we say. But
the reality is there are bad
apples in every group. And
it out? I'm going to join in the
call for you to get a six hour
show. So speak to the network
because I couldn't even do a
Pestel analysis or my own hiccup
we just it was just you and I.
The reality is this is a tragedy
and our hearts go out to the
family. But there are a number
of socio economic factors and
political factors that influence
this, particularly in this
instance with Jocelyn, because
this 12 year old is potentially
murdered by two Venezuelans. And
the political situation, even
individual immigrants rarely are
the ruling class immigrating.
That's just a reality. It's
social misfits. So they may be
social misfits like Iran because
they're intellectuals and they
like reading, but they may also
be social misfits like Tony
Montana in Scarface, who are
being expelled by the people.
Like if you want to go, fine,
Venezuela, and we've changed
things. Mexico has instituted
harsher visa restrictions, which
have prevented those wealthier
Venezuelans from flying into
Mexico City and walking over.
And so many of the individuals
who are coming over now are
people who are already not just
undocumented, but they are
unaware or uncaring about the
legal realities or options
And welcome back to the Factor.
Uncensored. Our focus on the
border. Tonight. As we examine
the connection of murders in the
U.S. To those who illegally
cross the border. Homeland
security has compiled data
between 2017 and 2023. We're
showing it here. The numbers of
immigrants who have been
arrested for murder in that time
frame. In America, there were
three arrests in 2017. Also 2018
and 2019, and in 2 in 2019 and
two arrests in 20 1960, in 2021,
62, in 2022 and 29 in 2023,
which also includes parts of
this year. So those arrests we
recently talked about, they're
not on that list. Our guests are
back for the discussion tonight.
So guys looking at the numbers
bad. What do you think. But this
aligns exactly with what we left
off with with the policy changes
in Mexico. Title 42 changes with
Covid. And so a lot of the
policy changes have encouraged
those less, sort of beneficial
actors that we think of as
immigrants to move in. Now, we
know that there's a lot of
bigotry. We saw this with
internment camps for the
Japanese, while Germans were
allowed to go free in World War
two. We've seen this in a number
of areas where Chinese and
Indian immigrants are able to
fly over and overstay their
visas. Those are also people who
are not legally remaining in
residence and so we do
stigmatize certain brown people
of certain demographics. And it
does work for our politics
sometimes. But the reality is,
because of these changes, many
of the individuals who are
coming are not coming here to
work. They're not coming here.
They're here hearing about
handouts. They're hearing about
free housing. Oh I can stay at a
hotel. We see this in Vienna,
and it's pushing far right
governments into power because
people are saying, what about
us? We've been paying taxes and
you're not playing by the rules.
I'll tell you. I've worked with
with victims who's lost loved
ones to homicide. I've worked
with families where the
Europe, from Africa. I just
worked with one from Asia. So
it's all over the spectrum. So
it's not you know, it's
important to point out, Andy,
when we look at those numbers,
we're not just talking about
brown people from Mexico or
South America. We're talking
about from all over the world.
Let's talk about the data. The
data is showing. If you look at
the data in the most recent
years since this administration
has taken over the Biden
administration, the numbers have
more than tripled when it comes
to murder and homicides, when it
comes to illegal immigration. So
that actually correlates with
the amount of homicides that
have risen right in Harris
County and throughout the nation
in the last few years, because
this administration is soft on
that policy. And so until now,
he's coming up with a viable
plan because he's trying to get
reelected. Right? Okay. And we
numbers have more than tripled
on this issue. So Americans are
fearful that the immigration
policy is not sound enough. It's
protect everyday Americans like
myself, my children, this young
lady that just lost her life,
you know, let me ask. Let me ask
you this really quick. Let's
speak up. Here's the thing,
though. We see the numbers. We
see the we see the thing. And
I'm going to give you guys the
benefit of the doubt because we
like I said, we feel for the
people that have been that this
the number of people that are
showing up, these are smaller
numbers. And if you compare the
numbers to other people, to
other other ethnicities or other
people that are already here,
they commit murder at a, at a
super enormous rate just in mass
shootings. I'm reading
statistics today. Another mass
shooting happened in Arkansas
and 80, about 80. Excuse me, 53%
of mass shootings are committed
by white males. Does that mean
that we have to be afraid of all
white males? I am an immigrant
myself. I'm sitting next to you.
Are you afraid of me right now?
be afraid of me? Should the
audience be afraid of me? No,
because many people like me are
just coming over here and we're
doing what we can. And nobody
complains about the $1.2
trillion that we're benefiting
this economy without, getting
Medicare or Social Security or
any benefits. What do you. What
do you say to Jocelyn's family?
What do you say to Jocelyn's
family? What do Jocelyn's
family? I say we will let the
legal system take care of it. We
will let the judges do what they
need to do. Andy. Under the
state legislature laws. And
until we change, until you and I
can go up to the state
legislature and say we need
harsher punishment for
murderers, then then we should
