Another kind of toll

The media inform us daily of military deaths in Iraq, for which we grieve. What we are not told are deaths in the United States caused by illegal aliens. That information may be found at WorldNetDaily.com in an article by Joseph Farah, 11-28-2006. Information on individual crimes may be accessed at ImmigrationsHumanCost.org.

While politicians play with border security, more Americans are murdered each year by illegal aliens than have died in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

Yes, you read that correctly. According to a report by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa:

• 12 Americans are murdered everyday by illegal aliens, and 13 people in the U.S. are killed by illegal alien drunk drivers daily.

• That’s 9,125 Americans per year murdered and killed! That’s more than 45,625 innocent U.S. lives cut short by illegal aliens since Sept. 11, 2001.

• If the death statistics aren’t enough to sicken you, Rep. King also reports that eight American children are molested by illegal aliens every day — a total of 2,920 annually.

None of this would be happening if our federal government would enforce our immigration laws.
