A follow-up…

This one came over the transom from the mil-email chain…

While the military “quagmire” in Iraq was said to tip the scales of power in the U.S. midterm elections, most Americans have no idea more of their fellow citizens – men, women and children – were murdered this year by illegal aliens than the combined death toll of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan since those military campaigns began.

Though no federal statistics are kept on murders or any other crimes committed by illegal aliens, a number of groups have produced estimates based on data collected from prisons, news reports and independent research.

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.

And what got done Thursday night???  And this is going to ‘end well for America’???

I don’t friggin think so…

    Well, don’t you see the wisdom of Der Fuehrer?
    Give them licenses and the death rate drops to one fifth!
    Make them legal and the deaths by illegals drops to zero.

  2. Don’t wait for the mainstream media to report anything negative about “Obama voters” because you’ll be waiting for a very long time.

    I’m disgusted with the whole mess in the Executive Branch. God needs to put an enema tube in the White House and flush it all away.

  4. “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.”
    So give them licenses. Problem solved!
    Why didn’t WE think of that?

  5. My son is in the Polk County jail right now and sometimes he is in Marion County jail so I check the jail rosters periodically. What I have found is that 80% of the illegal aliens incarcerated in these two counties are marked down as white instead of Hispanic. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the reason why.

    • It might not be anything more sinister than their self-identification.

      Most of the Cuban descended folks in the local car club self-ID as white and would check that box on a form.

  6. Ed- Yep, and the left would be in agreement… sigh…

    LL/WSF- I’d settle for flushing the whole damn bunch away, including congress and starting over!!!

    Miguel- That’s the way ‘I’ read it…

    Rick- That they are!

    Sid- I’m sorry to hear that, and didn’t know about the mis-id…

    MCThag- Considering how much ‘trouble’ the administration goes through to ID Hispanics and OTW, you’d think they would be even MORE careful in jails…

    Randy- Yeah, as LL said, good luck with that!

    • I think that we need to exclude lawyers from holding public office — anywhere. There are good lawyers, but as a class, they make better “high priests” or “advisors” than they do as decision makers.

  7. I guess I don’t care if they have licenses, I just want them to have INSURANCE!!!!!

  8. The illegal alien scumbucket criminal here who killed two cops in Roseville had a car full of illegal weapons – and had been deported TWICE.

  9. My friend’s brother-in-law was hit head on and killed by an illegal – drunk/no license/no insurance. He left behind a wife and three young children. Of course, the illegal who hit him had minor injuries – and probably got free medical care.

  10. LL- Agree on the lawyers…

    Mrs.C- Sadly probably true, and I’m betting he’s still driving/drinking knowing he’ll get off again…
