I knew Trump had some valid points, but I had no idea it was gonna be a friggin’ porky-pine!
I was listening to Laura Ingram on the way to dinner last night and she had absolutely NO response when her guest George Wills said that there are more illegals here now than 20 years ago, and America is a safer place: ergo Illegals are great for the US.
She just let him spew. No rebuke.
Yep, it is getting to be a prickly subject alright. Some of the candidates are imploding on the issue as more and more attention is called to how bad the situation really is.
It is time for these talk show hosts to get up to speed for crying out loud!
Yesterday on Tucson conservative radio, there was a news story at the top of the hour about building more prisons, and the spokesperson said that we build too many prisons and we should not be spending more money on them.
No mention of why we need them.

She then went on to say that ‘I love, love, love...” then at that point I turned her off.
Listen at `3: 17 point.
Crime rate is lower with illegals as a whole. Just as employment rate participation is higher than US population as a whole.
“The District of Western Texas was again No. 1, with 7,302 criminal defendants found guilty in U.S. district court. Southern Texas was second with 6,484. Arizona was third with 4,957. New Mexico was fourth with 4,392. And Southern California was fifth with 4,100.
The 27,235 criminal defendants found guilty in U.S. district courts in the five U.S. attorneys’ districts along the U.S.-Mexico border equaled 36.6 percent of all 74,392 criminal defendants found guilty in all 93 U.S. attorneys’ districts in fiscal 2014.”
Those are staggering statistics.
One could say crime is down (or up) because Seinfeld went off the air. I would not be surprised if much of the decrease in crime is due to the baby bust, and therefore less black criminals.

Crime rates are lower for illegals because they predatorize a lot upon other illegals in this country who DON’T REPORT the crimes...
and a lot of illegal immigrant crimes Against citizens are also shut up...
Grace, after my husband and I turned off the radio, open mouthed, we cited the same reasons as you did.
The rational also goes that you don’t do sweeps through businesses or apartment buildings where illegals are because then they will be further reluctant to report crimes, and what we are really concerned with is hard-core criminals, not just border crossers who are here for a “better life for their kids.”
But blanket comparisons of federal judicial districts on crime statistics are difficult to interpret because of because these districts are hardly created equal. They vary widely in population, demographics, terrain, rural vs. urban, the mindset of the chief US Attorney of each district and the size and mindset of his/her staff, the kinds of crime that they like to prosecute and the kinds of crime that they'd rather not.
BTW, Rush Limbaugh went into the posted article in some length on his show today.
“23,387 were found guilty of drug offenses. 12,617 were found guilty of violent crime.” According to this study.
Last night Humanity brought up these stats ( quoted from Perry last year.”
“Sean, there have been over the course of the last five years, since the fall of 08, over 203,000 individuals who have come into Texas illegally who have been booked into our county jails. Those individuals have accounted for over 3,000 homicides and over 8,000 sexual assaults. We cant afford to wait for Washington to secure this border. Weve had enough.
3,000 homicides and over 8,000 sexual assaults just in Texas!
Yes, it's a disgrace. And Trump is causing some politicians to wake up after so many years of pretending that illegal aliens were harmless or even beneficial to the US.
She did good. A statement like that clearly indicates the speaker is beyond repair. Why bother.
That has been a common tactic; why get in an argument if they other person won’t listen.
I say, speak the truth and let it hand in the air like an broken diamond. ( Okay, that’s flowery.) But the truth is beautiful and should be brought out against falsehoods, regardless of effect on dunderheads. The truth has an ability to burrow through.
Thanks for the ping!
