What about that women who just killed the baby in the stroller. Wasn't she here illegally for 14 yrs? Everyday it seems I read about drunk illegals killing people in accidents.Or raping them etc. Its sickening. I have read enough stories to say we have a real problem with illegals killing or committing crimes against American citizens.
I stand corrected on the national numbers. Having said that, it is not logical that less than 1% of the population of this country can be responsible for almost 30% of those murders. If you assume, of the hypothetical 20 million that are here, 10% (2 million)are prone to violent crime and and one percent (20 thousand ) are potential murderers you still have an impossible hill to climb in showing that 30% of all murders, 50 to 60% committed by family members, are the result of illegal aliens. You and yours should be able to document via the web a daily running total that would approximate the claims made in this article. Hell, in Texas alone if we had that many murders by illegals every day it would be a steady stream of executions and front page news.
Illegal Alien Crime Wave
On April 7, 2005, the US Justice Department issued a report on criminal aliens that were incarcerated in federal and state prisons and local jails.
In the population study of 55,322 illegal aliens, researchers found that they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. Nearly all had more than 1 arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990.
They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. One arrest incident may include multiple offenses, a fact that explains why there are nearly one and half times more offenses than arrests. Almost all of these illegal aliens were arrested for more than 1 offense. Slightly more than half of the 55,322 illegal aliens had between 2 and 10 offenses.
CRIMINAL HISTORY
More than two-thirds of the defendants charged with an immigration offense were identified as having been previously arrested. Thirty-six percent had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions; 22%, 2 to 4 times; and 12%,1 time.
Sixty-one percent of those defendants had been convicted at least once; 18%, 5 or more times; 26%, 2 to 4 times; and 17%, 1 time. Of those charged, 49% had previously been convicted of a felony: 20% of a drug offense; 18%, a violent offense; and 11%, other felony offenses. Twelve percent had previously been convicted of a misdemeanor.
Defendants charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. Nine in ten had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, half had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions.
Fifty-six percent of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted of a violent or drug-related felony. By contrast, under half of those charged with alien smuggling, a third of those charged with unlawful entry, and just over a quarter those charged with misuse of visas and other charges had previously been arrested. The criminal histories of these defendants were generally less extensive: more than 70% had been previously arrested fewer than 5 times.

Government statistics show illegal aliens doing the crimes Americans won't do.
