I have yet to figure out why feminists, womens rights groups, and the NOW crowd don't just get frurious over idiotic women like this? It really hurts their cause. There are millions of really smart women out there who would make this Janet(not to name another) look like the clueless bag of bullcrap she is.

Women should demand better.

Illegal Alien Crime Wave

http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/kouri/050805

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.

"How did such a dumb dike get in the position she has."

It's the way liberals do things. Look at Barry, Biden and Hillary.

Good links Candor7 Once again thank you for being on top of this nightmare!

[ColdOne]

Many many things are wrong with the bunch in power now a days. The total silence from MSM and the left on this is right at the top of the list.

The lie if repeated often enough, is talen as truth. Some one should pillory Janet Napolitano and put her in a pen with very hungry feral hogs.Or impeach her. I do not care much which. Where is Issa, he should be on this like Swiss on cheese?

It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control,” she said. “This statement — often made only to score political points — is just plain wrong.”

Sheriff Joe Arpai arrests illegal alien previously deported 17 times

While conducting surveillance operations to gain intelligence, prior to the sweep, deputies arrested 56 illegal aliens, including one who has been deported a staggering 17 times.

Montana proposal raises questions about rights of injured illegal aliens

Montana could become one, if not the only, state to implement an outright ban on providing workers' comp benefits to undocumented workers. A proposal being considered by the Legislature raises a number of issues about whether to include illegal aliens in the workers' comp system.

Can’t someone pull the plug on that dyke?

“It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control,” she (Napolitano) said.

“This statement (Napolitano’s statement, of course) — often made only to score political points — is just plain wrong.”

“It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control, This statement — often made only to score political points — is just plain wrong.”

She is of course referring to the Utah - Wyoming border.

OK then. I'll believe her rather than my lying eyes.

I have never seen crime data on illegals. Does anyone know if that data is collected by the FBI and how to get it?
