Tou Lue Vang, an immigrant to the U.S. from Laos, pled guilty to having sex with a 10-year-old girl. Under Minnesota law, this was apparently not a serious offence that would justify prison time, so he never went to prison and was thus free to maximize his reproductive success. Mr. Vang was recently pardoned by Tim Walz, who very nearly became our Vice-President, so as to throw a wrench into the works of the Trump administration deportation apparatus. The New York Times says that, despite never earning citizenship, this child molester has gifted us with six children, all of whom have birthright citizenship and all of whom have inherited genes from their enricher father:
Is being a child molester heritable? Google AI: “Research suggests genetic factors may explain roughly 46% of the variance in liability for child molestation. A large-scale Swedish study indicated that the shared family environment accounts for only about 2% of this risk, with the remaining factors being unique, non-shared environmental influences (such as personal life events or biological factors).”
How did Mr. Vang become rich enough to afford to housing, food, education, and health care for six children? NYT:
Mr. Vang has held various jobs, most recently as a custodian at a Minnesota-based wholesale company.
Unless his wife is a cardiologist, it seems safe to assume that this convicted child molester’s reproductive success was enabled by the U.S. non-“welfare” welfare system (“means-tested”). In other words, we created an immigration system and then a welfare state designed to ensure that the next generation of Americans has the maximum quantity of child molester genes and the minimum quantity of middle-class conscientious worker genes.
What was this guy’s excuse, incidentally?
When a detective interviewed Mr. Vang, he acknowledged having had sexual contact with the girl and called it a “minor thing,” according to a criminal complaint. Mr. Vang blamed cultural norms in Thailand, according to the complaint.
AI says that, while Islamic law (the Hadiths) may allow an adult male to have sex with a female of 9 or older, Thailand’s laws and cultural norms require that a girl be 15 and there are severe criminal penalties for sex with a girl under 13. Laos has a lot of teen marriage, but again, sex with a 10-year-old isn’t legally or culturally acceptable in Laos.
I struggle to understand the basics of the U.S. immigration system, e.g., why we would want to fill the country with people who don’t have anything in common other than disliking their home country (our asylum-based system), but this case takes matters to a new level of confusion. Why would we set up a system to help low-wage low-skill child molesters produce six children when working-class and middle-class non-criminal Americans can barely able to produce and care for one or two kids?
I really got a chuckle from your comment: “I struggle to understand…why we would want to fill the country with people who don’t have anything in common other than disliking their home country (our asylum-based system), but this case takes matters to a new level of confusion.”
Without having met you, I’d be inclined to believe your comment as befitting a Dumbass. That said, if after thinking about it some more you are still “struggling” to understand, please reach out and I’ll offer some guidance.
