Is one rape of one citizen by one illegal acceptable to you? How about 6000 rapes? What amount of rape is acceptable by criminals who are here illegally?

And there is no way a ban would prevent that. You can't ban people for what their children may or may not do. There is no clairvoyant Inhuman to help us like in Civil War 2.

But, of course a ban would have prevented it. If his Afghan, Muslim parents weren't allowed to immigrate to the US in the 80s, Omar Mateen would not have been born in the US a few years later and wouldn't have murdered and injured over 100 mostly gay Americans in Orlando.

No rape is acceptable but this hyperbole over immigrant crime particularly those of ME descent are such a threat.

Sure you can, and you should. Immigration policy ought to take long term generational effects into account much more than it does. And the chance of somebody's kids growing up to become malcontented cultural outsiders and possible terrorists or terrorist sympathizers ought to be considered before granting them permission to come and live in your country.

Hyperbole?

https://www.dps.texas.gov/administra...Statistics.htm

According to DHS status indicators, over 220,000 criminal aliens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011 and April 30, 2017.

During their criminal careers, these criminal aliens were charged with more than 586,000 criminal offenses. Those arrests include:

1,196 homicide charges;
69,693 assault charges;
16,996 burglary charges;
69,931 drug charges;
707 kidnapping charges;
41,143 theft charges;
45,535 obstructing police charges;
3,873 robbery charges;
6,274 sexual assault charges; and
8,804 weapons charges.

Of the total criminal aliens arrested in that timeframe, over 146,000 or 66% were [already] identified by DHS status as being in the US illegally at the time of their last arrest.

I think you meant "radical Islam", right? Because there is certainly a difference. 1.6 billion followers of the religion aren't blowing themselves up, nor are the few million American Muslims attacking other Americans.

I don't personally care for Islam (or any religion, for that matter), but there's nothing intrinsically wrong with its followers.

This kind of post just proves the OP's point.

Nice post on illegal immigration---too bad that's not what the thread is about


BTW..how many of those people were of ME descent and in this country illegally?

That's what I thought....

Except there was no reason to ban his parents. Name one that isn't some bs "well, their son or daughter might do this." Because if that is the case, couldn't we ban Christians coming to America because they might blow up abortion clinics or kill homosexuals?

And of course omitting to note that the criminal aliens referred to were predominantly of Mexican and South American origin, which the U.S. has willingly tolerated for years even with multiple granted amnesties, was simply an innocent omission on your part?
