I'm not as worried about crime rates, frankly, as I am in the shape of the US, who we are, our common language, where we owe our loyalties. We can't absorb so many people of an alien language/culture/mores, and expect to successfully assimilate them as we have in the past.
No Ben, we've refuted that analogy a number of times on this thread. Just between you and I, telling an untruth 50,000 times does not make it true.
What we are saying is that every crime committed by an illegal immigrant was a crime that did not have to take place on our soil, and the victims did not deserve to die at the hands of another that YOU still seek to facilitate coming here under the cloak of legitimacy.
There is a criminal element that accompanies all illegal immigrants into the U.S. If all illegal immigration were stopped, that criminal element would not be able to prey on our citizens.
Illegal immigration must stop, so that lives and victims can be saved and spared. You don't know which illegal is a criminal. They must ALL abide by our laws.
