An alarming statistic splashed across the Internet the other day—violent crime is on the rise in the U.S. for the second straight year.

The stats show that homicides increased in eight of the country's largest cities: Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, and San Diego. As a result, the murder rate in cities with populations of more than one million jumped 6.7 percent.

All the places that voted for John Kerry, what a coincidence!

It's interesting to note that the increase in violent crime was greatest in the West, where illegal immigration is also a major concern. While not every individual who crosses illegally into the U.S. is a potential criminal, it stands to reason that if we secure our borders we're less likely to be attacked on our streets by illegal immigrants who have no regard for our health, safety, and property.

It's not "interesting" it's the truth. Allow them to forsake one law and they get bolder and expect to be able to forsake more laws.

Ah, Philly -- the home of the "Stop Snitchin' " campaign, which is making it even easier for the homeboyz to gun each other down in broad daylight, and engage in open warfare with rival gangs...

There are parts of the city that I love, but increasingly, the Dems running Shitty Hall are turning the Cradle of Liberty into an open sewer.

This is typical in an economic down turn.
