As much as I know illegals are responsible for many American deaths since 9/11 and even before that, I highly doubt 45,000 since September 11, 2001. Have there even been that many murders period since that date?
Even so, one American death at the hand of an illegal who snuck across one of America'a land borders is unacceptable considering the lack of real border security. But hey, a head of lettuce is three cents cheaper, right?
These figures include deaths from drunk driving, as well. Read Congressman King's article at the link I posted above. His office WILL confirm that the figures come from the FBI, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, among others.
