re: Seriously, what is it with all these kidnapping lately?

Don't forget that in the parts of the world the Dems are so enthralled to import people from, kidnapping is a growth industry.

Mexico? Yep, kidnap for ransom is an established part of the climate, usually tourists but some business professionals too. S.American countries? Yep, kidnap not just tourists but business people to hold the employer responsible for the ransom. Mid East? Yep, hold mercs ("contractors") and business people and tourists for ransom as standard daily activity.

We love our unfettered immigration don't we? No chance POTUS was partially elected to stop these exact types from coming here.
