""Try to focus, sinkspur. The subject is the border and immigration.

George W. Bush is the one man who could solve this problem forthwith, using his constitutional powers and the resources already budgeted to our military.

The only thing lacking, still, beyond the words, is the will.

If you will notice, that is what the facts presented by this article show, again.""

You could argue this 50 ways from Sunday. It will make no difference : )

Do people pay you for your obtuseness and snide ignorant remarks?

And, man-o-man, am I having fun pokin' you with a stick.

Ok I have tried to google for US Department of Justice crime stats to no avail. I have seen a lot of anectotal references to such as this

Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states--California, Texas, and Arizona. Specifically, about 58 percent of all arrests occurred in California, 14 percent in Texas, and 8 percent in Arizona.

But given that that was for ALL types of arrests it is not credible that 19000 murders were charged in those 4 states since Texas averages about 1200 murders per year. California averages about 2500 murders per year. Illegals would have to be responsible for at least half of those yearly murder rates to reach 19,000 and since only about 14 % of illegals are charged with violent crimes it just doesn't appear to be possible.

so is the fact that 95% of all oustanding murder warrants in Los angeles County are for illegal immigrants.

The vast majority of which are well over 10 years old.

That's a misleading statistic.

These numbers are impossible to reconcile. If these numbers were even remotly true the Texas execution table would be in use 24/7.

"That's a misleading statistic."

California has no statue of limitations for for the crime of Murder. These warrants are as valid as they day they were issued.
Nice try though.

You are correct, but the outstanding warrants do not have ivy growing up them, like another poster here inferred.

I am not calling anyone an idiot I am just questioning Kings numbers because no matter how you cut it, Illegals cannot account for the number of murders he is claiming.

Just keep in mind that 80% of all arrests of illegals are in Claifornia and Texas. For his numbers to hold up over 4 years illegal aliens would have to be committing 4,500,000 murders per year. I can tell you for a fact that that is an absurd number.
