>"We're all going to die!"<

- Not all of us FRiend, just the unfortunate victims:

Like my friends son, who was shot during a robbery by a Mexican gang banger, while working at an all night gas station in Phoenix.

He was putting himself through college, doing one of those jobs that "Americans refuse to do."

The gang banger was Id'd on camera, but he hightailed it back over the border, to Mexico. He is free to come back over the border, while a fine young man now lies in the grave yard.

He became a statistic, but he is not alone:

"The Illegal-Alien Crime Wave"
Heather Mac Donald

http://www.city-journal.org/html/14_1_the_illegal_alien.html

In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.

• A confidential California Department of Justice study reported in 1995 that 60 percent of the 20,000-strong 18th Street Gang in southern California are illegal aliens.

I received this following Freepmail from a California Highway Patrolman:

"As former Law Enforcement, I knew this statistic before I retired. There are tons of crooks that committed some crime here, bugged out, and are now living comfortably in " their country" Mexico.

I formulated a truth while in my 31 year career. That is:
"Statistics don't mean squat unless you are one"
EXAMPLE: Most car crashes are NOT news unless someone dies. However, if some Illegal hits you (don't seem to matter that he has no license or insurance, and the car is not in his name, and he is drunk-driving), you are now paralyzed. Now that Statistic has meaning for you.

I was Calif. Highway Patrol. I knew of at least TEN instances like the example. Even if the guy got arrested at the scene, he would be given bail, and disappear " south of the border".

FYI:

Alexandria, VA: Speaking out for the first time on the question of immigration enforcement, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) today announced its opposition to the Clear Law Enforcement For Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act and urged Congress to proceed with caution when considering measures that would compel local and state law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws. The IACP took this action after a careful review of the impact that enforcing immigration law could have on state, tribal and local law enforcement and the communities they serve.
“The IACP opposes any plan that would coerce local and state law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration laws without their approval,” said IACP President Joseph Estey, Chief of the Hartford, Vermont Police Department. “Many leaders in the law enforcement community have serious concerns about the chilling effect any measure of this nature would have on legal and illegal aliens reporting criminal activity or assisting police in criminal investigations. This lack of cooperation could diminish the ability of law enforcement agencies to police effectively their communities and protect the public they serve.” {blah, blah, blah}...

And speaking of LA, maybe you should have read the story preceding your statistics on that website you linked to:

The LAPD’s ban on immigration enforcement mirrors bans in immigrant-saturated cities around the country, from New York and Chicago to San Diego, Austin, and Houston. These “sanctuary policies” generally prohibit city employees, including the cops, from reporting immigration violations to federal authorities.

The enforcement is being thwarted at the local level.
