Reported on FOX News a little ago. Illigals have killed 45,000 US citizens since 9/11

Thank you for that information.

Which is a bigger threat? good question.

Seems the threat level is about equal considering the terrorist is attempting to kill us with any means necessary. Illegals are mostly thugs and bad drivers, with higher kill ratios at the moment.

25 a day is about 9,500 a year killed.


The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day.
Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals.
Eight American children would not suffer the horror as a victim of a sex crime.

Yes, thanks.

[ThE_RiPpEr.]

And thats just counting murders by illegal aliens.

This murder and possible rape just happened in my city in Wisconsin, with a legal resident alien from Mexico.

My prayers for the victim and her family.

[hinckley buzzard]

I do not believe this 'statistic.' There are fewer than 17,000 murders per year. This would mean that over half of all murders are commited by illegals, a preposterous idea. Besides, who would know? The FBI does not generate such stats and they are the ones who collect crime data nationwide. This bilge discredits the valid concerns about the quality of people sneaking over the border and their documented police records.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Closer to 6500... average is supposed to be about three per day so that times 360 times six years... I heard yesterday that 80% of outstanding murder warrants in California is for illegals... (JD Hayworth on Fox Morning News with ED Hill)...

[Myrddin]

The recently quoted figure is 12 per day nationwide. Multiply by 365 days per year and 6 years yields 26280. The number sounds like a factor of 2 exaggeration.

Bump for later reading

[pollyannaish]

Well, if you compare that to US death statistics, I'm VERY skeptical. I would suspect it has about as much credibility as "homeless people during Republican Administrations" statistics.

[AmusedBystander]

It's actually 45,000 illegals killing 45,000 other illegals. So it really doesn't count.

[pollyannaish]

Not only that, but it a guest "claimed" there were that many deaths is a far cry from a story on it...so I'd say the headline is very misleading.

[Doc91678]

There was a recent article that stated the 12 Americans in the U.S. are murdered weekly by illegal aliens. If you extrapolate that figure approximately 4,128 American civilians have been murdered since 9/11. That far exceeds the number of Americans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined for the same period. Perhaps the Progressive Marxists have their priorities mixed?

[MPJackal]

"And this person is claiming 3/4s of all those murders were by Illegals."

No, that is not what it is saying. It said deaths, not murders. So it includes all other fatal traffic accidents or any other type of accident. So add 45,000 or so to you 13,000 for 58,000 a year. Add 2,000 for other causes of death for a nice round 60,000/year or 300,000 "deaths" since 9/11. So I can believe it. Not saying it is true, but it is possible.

[PGalt]

However many it actually is, it's that many too many.

[GhostSoldier]

considering the large swaths of the country where there are almost no illegals

Bwahaha. Where might that be?

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

"...large swaths of the country where there are almost no illegals...."

I've GOT to ask you......how many "large swaths of the country" are you willing to identify to back up your rationalization?

It seems that "large" ought to mean "large", and that you ought to be able to name at least 5 or more "large swaths"....can you? will you?

[SwinneySwitch]

Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That's 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.

[Publius6961]

Not possible.

Of course it's possible.
The majority of those are probably traffic accidents.

If only 10% of all traffic deaths are by illegals, that's around 5000+ each year right there...

We're talking a 5 year period here...
