Amnesty and Mexico Can Both Go Pound Sand

Via World Net Daily, Emperor Misha (language alert!), and Congressman Steve King (R-IA), we get a disturbing report of the havoc wrought on American citizens every day throughout the year by illegal immigrant criminals (yes, I know, I repeat myself). Ask yourself why in the name of Beelzebub's left testicle we should give any of these lawbreakers amnesty and citizenship. I don't care how many good, hard working people want to get in this country...I'd sooner keep 10,000 of them out than run the risk of a single American citizen getting murdered, killed by a drunk driver, or raped by an illegal immigrant. The death toll of Americans killed by illegals in a single year outstrips the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq since the beginning of the war! Build that fence and militarize the border, and then MAYBE we talk about what to do with the lawbreakers already here...not a second before.

"And don't anybody out there even pretend to be shocked, SHOCKED at the crime rate among illegal aliens. What did you expect? Their very first act in this country was to break the law by entering illegally. Why would you expect people who have already shown complete disregard for the law to turn into model citizens? I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I welcome immigration...LEGAL immigration. If you don't have the common courtesy or most BASIC of respects for the country you wish to move to, then WE DON'T NEED YOU HERE.

If somebody walked into your company and applied for a job, telling you proudly that his first achievement in the workforce was embezzling his employer into bankruptcy, would you hire him? Then why the FU*K would we want to grant full amnesty and citizenship to people whose first act in this country was to violate our laws and who have been violating them ever since?
Explain THAT to me."

"Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That's 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001. Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863. Total U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289, according to the Department of Defense. But the carnage wrought by illegal alien murderers represents only a fraction of the pool of blood spilled by American citizens as a result of an open border and un-enforced immigration laws.

While King reports 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, he says 13 are killed by drunk illegal alien drivers – for another annual death toll of 4,745. That's 23,725 since Sept. 11, 2001. While no one – in or out of government – tracks all U.S. accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year's 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens.

A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers. Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.

King also reports eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually. Based on a one-year in-depth study, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute of Atlanta estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999 through April 2006 that included serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants.

As the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. increases, so does the number of American victims. According to Edwin Rubenstien, president of ESR Research Economic Consultants, in Indianapolis in 1980, federal and state correctional facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens. But at the end of 2003, approximately 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated in all U.S. jails and prisons.

While the federal government doesn't track illegal alien murders, illegal alien rapes or illegal alien drunk driving deaths, it has studied illegal aliens incarcerated in U.S. prisons. In April 2005, the Government Accountability Office released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:

The 55,322 illegal aliens studied represented a total of 459,614 arrests – some eight arrests per illegal alien;

Their arrests represented a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses – some 13 offenses per illegal alien;

36 percent had been arrested at least five times before.

"While the vast majority of illegal aliens are decent people who work hard and are only trying to make a better life for themselves and their families, (something you or I would probably do if we were in their place), it is also a fact that a disproportionately high percentage of illegal aliens are criminals and sexual predators," states Peter Wagner, author of a new report called "The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration." "That is part of the dark side of illegal immigration and when we allow the 'good' in we get the 'bad' along with them. The question is, how much 'bad' is acceptable and at what price?"
