The fact that half a million U.S. girls are at-risk of female genital mutilation as a result of large-scale Muslim migration has been widely documented by publications ranging from NPR, to ABC, to Reuters, to Newsweek, to the Daily Beast, to the Huffington Post, to the Atlantic, to the New York Times.
As the New York Times wrote in February of 2015, Genital Cutting Cases Seen More as Immigration Rise.
As Newsweek reported in February of 2015, immigration is the sole factor for the rise in numbers:
More than half a million women and girls in the U.S. are at risk of undergoing FGM in the U.S. or abroad, or have already undergone the procedure, including 166,173 under the age of 18, according to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB). Immigration to the U.S. from African and Middle Eastern countrieswhere the practice of FGM is a deeply entrenched cultural traditionis the sole factor for the rise in numbers, says Mark Mather, a demographer at PRB who led the data analysis. There has not been an increase in the practice happening in the U.S. itself, he says
African immigration to the U.S. has doubled every decade since 1970, with more than 1.8 million African-born people now living in the U.S., according to Census data. Immigrants from Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Egypt, all countries that perform FGM(also known as female circumcision), accounted for 41 percent of total African immigrants. According to the latest numbers, nearly one in five girls at risk for FGM in the U.S. are from Egypt, which tops Somalia as the most at-risk country
Immigration to Western countries where FGM is not traditionally practiced means health care providers have had to adapt to the harmful medical consequences of FGM.
While this statistic has been widely reported, it is almost never mentioned on major television news programming on corporate media.
Indeed, not only was the CNN panel unaware of the fact that half a million U.S. girls are at-risk of suffering the barbaric practice of having their external genital organs removed, but one panelist a self-described feminist bizarrely sought to deny the veracity of the report and cover up the gruesome reality facing hundreds of thousands of U.S. girls.

How low can we go? We found it! Terrorists groups around the world would welcome a Trump presidency. Why? Recruitment and hostility is already up from the day he asked for a temporary ban on Muslims coming to America. And he has put the US in the cross-hairs with his irresponsible, self-aggrandizing rhetoric. That is terrible, but far, far worse is how he makes this republic look to the world: intolerant, hateful, and very small. The Statue of Liberty is under a gag-order by Trump. "Stop the liberal drivel!" Trump screams at her. "Shut your stupid feminist trap! Keep a lid on your hormones, bitch! You are worse than Megyn Kelly."
