I went to the National Press Club & asked Newt a question. It looks like more americans have been killed by illegals than in Iraq. However, the info is annecdotal. It would take someone to do a freedom of information inquiry or a lexus nexus search and a lot of phone calls to federal state & local prisons to track down some numbers suitable for the major media.
Newt didn't seem to understand that the next election hinges on the amnesty vote in congress.
The reason this is vitally important is that congress is taking up amnesty. If they pass the enabling legislation then the conservatives will be zoned out of the presidency well nigh permanently.
Some verifiable stats on illegal murder rates that showed they were as high--or higher than KIA's in Iraq --that made national headlines and national television would--throw a monkey wrench into the gears of congress moves toward amnesty.
