The numbers are from Jim Gilchrist. >>>>>>>>>>>>
Here are simlar numbers from Congressman Steve King (R, IA)....dated April 2006
Over 19,000 Americans have died a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens since 9/11 (12 a day).*
Over 20,000 Americans have died at the hands of uninsured drunk driving illegal aliens since 9/11 (13 a day).*
Over 13,000 American children are the victim of a sex crime at the hands of illegal aliens since 9/11 (8 a day).*
Less than 7,000 Americans have died on 9/11 and after due to terrorism, including those who died fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.
What is the bigger threat to Americans today, terrorist thugs or illegal aliens?

I checked the source and he doesn't mention any of those stats - at least on that page. Perhaps it is on a different one.
Here's a link to a pdf document of an interesting Government Accountability Office study.
Information on Criminal Aliens Incarcerated in Federal and State Prisons and Local Jails - Briefing for Congressional Requestors, March 29, 2005
Note - these are not necessarily ILLEGAL ALIENS.

"Over 13,000 American children are the victim of a sex crime at the hands of illegal aliens since 9/11 (8 a day).*"
While I accept the rest of what King says, I completely disagree with that statistic. Less than half of sexual assault victims report their attacks...especially children. If he's saying eight a day, it's probably more like 20 a day.
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.
Do we get to subtract the number of Illegals killed by Illegals?
