> those wonderful illegal aliens who, according to Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), are killing an average of 25 Americans a day?
Well I’m not a fan of the Mex’s and generally I like King. But every pol goes off his nut now than then — and this was King’s turn.
Captain’s Quarters, a blog nobody has ever accused of being liberal, points this out here: http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/008597.php
There are enough good reasons to fight illegals without turning to made-up ones.
If King and WND have their numbers correct, that would mean that illegals commit 26.2% of all murders in the US. However, they only comprise less than 7% of the American population, even if one accepts the figure of 20 million illegals here now. Doesn't that seem just a bit strange to anyone?
If they are committing crimes at a higher rate it wouldn't seem so strange. That's the flaw in his logic.
