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.

People don't show skepticism of things that they WANT to believe.

What people need to understand is that they need to go out of their way to shut up people that share the same cause they do, but that embarass them with false or stupid arguments, or it ends up tarnishing everyone with the same beliefs.

This number could possibly include deaths that involve illegals in car accidents.

"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.

Reading comprehension...

The quote said killed, not murdered. And that is over a 5-year period.

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.
