So you would like the Bolshevik poem removed from the base of the Statue of Liberty too, then?

We have something in common.

Sorry. Not concerned. My concerns are about bigger and more realistic dangers like car crashes and diseases. I am not as easily played as you are.
So you're only worried about those things when they're not caused by immigrants, then?

So you're only worried about citizens being innattentive or drunk? It would be fine with you if every immigrant was driving around DUI and texting?

They should change the url to read A Bunch of People Who Might Have Been Hurt By Illegal Aliens, or Maybe Not
He is an illegal alien positively id’d. His case is not settled yet. Hope this helps you understand.

Flunked math, eh?

There are 20K or so murders in the US each year.
And the death toll of 12-20/day is all sources not just homicides.

Why did you assume it was only homicides? Were you not aware that people can be killed in accidents as well?

And why did you assume that illegal immigrants commit crime in perfect proportion to the rest of the population?

I am worried about anyone who does it. Stop being deliberately obtuse. No one should get a free pass for actually harming others. Most immigrants, legal or otherwise, don't harm others, any more than most citizens do.

It's a list of possible cases with no current verdicts.
