A lot of attention has been paid to the manhunt for the escaped rape suspect, Reynaldo Elias Rapalo, 34, from a Miami correctional center. One thing, however, is virtually missing from all reporting of this story - THE FACT THAT HE IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN - who should not have even been here in the first place to commit his heinous, violent crime spree, including the rapes of an 11 year old child and a 79 year old woman and at least seven other assaults on young girls. There was only one or two news reports I have found that even mentions, however briefly, that he is an illegal alien, a web story from the FoxNews.com website and another from a Hawaii TV website, way down near the end of the report, when news of his escape first broke:

"Rapalo is an Rapalo is an illegal immigrant who lives in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami; police are worried that more crimes may have been committed that went unreported by other illegal immigrants."


But since then, even in follow-up reports by Fox News, both on their website and the Fox News Channel, every report on this 'Bush willing worker, good hearted folk' has completely omitted the fact that he is illegally in the country. I tried to find any other web reports that mention this little fact, but you will barely find it mentioned anywhere. Is this a simple oversight (yeah right), or did the 'open borders' or 'Hispanic advocate' lobbies get to these news outlets and tell them not to report this minor fact of the story?

Do a Google News search on his criminal escapades and subsequent escape and you will get 142 web stories returned, and from what I have seen, only one or two websites mention the fact that this guy is an illegal alien, the ones I listed above. I am certainly not insinuating all illegals are rapists, but why is the fact that this guy is an illegal being ignored by nearly all of the media?

Google News search:

I did not check all 142 reports, but I'd be interested in anyone else can find any mention that this guy is an illegal.
