WASHINGTON – 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. Peter King, R-N.Y. 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 traffic 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?"

Sounds like civil war to me.
Countless "sob stories" about the havoc wreaked by illegals should be out there daily.
In both instances the friend and the relative asked the cops if the illegals were going to be arrested. Instead the cops threatened to arrest not the illegals but the family member and friend. INSANE!!!!
They need to go to the officer's supervisor and report that and also have him view the officers tape to be sure the officer also reported the accident correctly.
I had a similiar incident and the above details worked for me, hopefully for your friend and relative too if they have to proceed further for insurance or medical purposes.
Mistake #1 - They allowed uncontrolled immigration.
Mistake #2 - When they finally became worried about the uncontrolled immigration, they asked the French for help (French Indian War).
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
So True!
When they finally became worried about the uncontrolled immigration, they asked the French for help (French Indian War).
Maybe we can ask some country to invade Mexico and then maybe the illegals will all run back to defend their homeland.
Thanks for posting this article, Irisshlass! If only more people in power took these statistics seriously.

I guess it hasn't affected them yet personnally.
Was Steve King, R-IA, not 'Peter King, R-NY'. Can't trust WND any more than you can trust NYT.
Steve King: ...And that would equate and extrapolate down to 12 fewer murders every day, 13 fewer people that die at the hands of negligent homicide...
You are very welcome too. I got into a huff this morning after reading about the Bishop's letter sent to Congress, regarding illegal immigration, then reading this.
I suppose the Dims response to this will be to call for US withdrawal from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, & California.
It is TRULY amazing to me how many Americans turn a blind eye toweards letting illegals in their yards and home to save a few bucks for landscaping, cleaning their home, taking care of an elderly/ill person, service jobs and construction jobs!! They might save a buck but they open the door to a flood of them into a neighborhood (we've experienced the door to door flood when our neighborhood was discovered).
Basically I blaim Americans and businesses who use these people for our troubles. It is like drugs. It is a choice! Legal or illegal?
I just read an article the other day about an illegal, drunk, no insurance/license who killed a boy in Palmdale, CA when he ran a red light. Google to find.
I intend to sue the federal government if any harm comes to my family or me or land I own!! I guess we need to take some cases to the Supreme court if that has not already happened.
I just got done working the New River in Calexico. I laid in for several hours in my Ghillie suit on the banks of the nastiest river in America in support of agents deployed right at the border. I was waiting to catch me a good ol' child molesting illegal alien, because then I can deport them for the 20th time. Isn't the that nice? LOL!
You are my hero :)
Short sighted greed. That is what it is. They are probably the same people driving around with the following bumper sticker "We are spending our children's inheritance".

"I got into a huff this morning "
We ALL need to stay in a huff. This is an uphill battle.
