Lol. Since there are about 13,000 murders per year this would mean about 65,000 murders since 911. And this person is claiming 3/4s of all those murders were by Illegals. That takes a lot of swallowing to buy that. But there will be plenty here who will lap it up with glee.

You distort the representation. Only 4300 per year are attributed to homicide. That would only be 25%, a believable number. The remaining are attributed to drunk driving and the like

A few weeks ago, I saw a breakdown of the study that congressman King refers to. The methodology used looked valid. I did not verify the base numbers in any way, so I would not take the results as Gospel. The study did seem worthy of peer review for validity and after seeing the components they were assessing I would not have a hard time believing the results.

Twenty five percent is NOT a believable number. And Illegal is not nearly ten times as likely to commit murder.
Now I would believe that the ~4% of the population which are Illegal might commit 5-6% of the murders but not 25%.
