U.S. government has abandoned the American southwest

These statistics are staggering:

Quote:
-Two-thirds of fugitive felony warrants issued in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

-95 percent of warrants issued for murder in L.A. are for illegal aliens.

-83 percent of warrants issued for murder in Phoenix, AZ are for illegal aliens.

-86 percent of warrants issued for murder in Albuquerque, NM are for illegal aliens.

-53 percent of burglaries in Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and Texas are committed by illegal aliens.

-According to police, there are at least 53,000 Latino gang members in Los Angeles (that is the equivalent of three Airborne divisions).

-Mexican drug cartels produce 80 percent of the methamphetamine sold on U.S. streets. In 2007 alone, U.S. Customs agents confiscated over 2,000 lbs of methamphetamine at the six official border crossing stations in California
.
This will only stop when our Government stops it. If they continue to ignore us, tell them they are FIRED!

I think they are fired. Well, unless they steal the next election and do not doubt that there will be many dead people voting. Very important to pull ones backside off the couch and go vote and not by absentee ballots please. Far too easy to just toss those out.

I think you’re right. Illegal immigration can no longer be ignored; and the members of Congress who do not support securing our borders and tackling this problem, will find themselves among the 10% unemployed.

The figures are actually higher in many places and the false statistics of "jobs created" are responsible from the census workers hired (temporary) and the workers brought in to clean up the latest flood disaster of the East coast (also temporary).

Our border security is such a joke, everyone knows it, yet government continues to lie and say all is fine or even better than ever. HOW can they actually think Americans are buying this load of BS? I also agree, they HAVE been fired!

Snopes examined similar statistics here: snopes.com: Just One State - Cost of Illegals in Los Angeles

Snopes references the 95% statistics and explains them like this:

"95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

This figure also appears (unsourced) in Heather Mac Donald's testimony before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims:

Quote:
In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide in the first half of 2004 (which totaled 1,200 to 1,500) targeted illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) were for illegal aliens.
Even if the statistic is accurate, however, it is subject to a variety of interpretations. For example, illegal aliens might be disproportionately represented by outstanding homicide warrants in Los Angeles because they are more likely to flee the jurisdiction before their cases are adjudicated than legal residents are (not necessarily because they commit a far greater share of the homicides in Los Angeles). This interpretation is supported by a University of California Davis summary of immigration issues that notes:

Quote:
The Los Angeles Police Department has a 12-year old Foreign Prosecution Unit that pursues suspects who fled the US after committing crimes in Los Angeles and gives testimony when they are prosecuted aboard. The United States does not have extradition treaties with most Latin American countries but many countries, for example, Mexico, Nicaragua or El Salvador try suspects for murder and other violent crimes committed in the US.

The Foreign Prosecution Unit was founded in 1985, after a study found that nearly half of the LAPD's outstanding arrest warrants involved Mexican nationals who were presumed to have fled the country. The FPU works with Interpol to find suspects who flee abroad and then prepares the evidence so that the person can be arrested and prosecuted. The FPU clears about one-third of its cases, compared to two-thirds of all homicide cases in Los Angeles.
The Mexican consulate in Los Angeles has a representative of the Mexican attorney general's office to work with the FPU in prosecuting suspects in Mexico for crimes committed in Los Angeles.

Oh but the government is too busy feeding/clothing and housing all the illegitimate children that this country produces. They don't have any money left over to do anything really important unless it is for the CHILLLLLLDDDRUUUUUUUNNNNNN.

There are TONS more important matters, such as...well....illegal aliens for one.
