An Arizona group will be holding a press conference in Newark, New Jersey on Sunday. They plan to talk about crimes caused by illegal immigrants.

Retired Army Colonel Albert F. Rodriguez is the former mayor of Douglas. He heads an anti-illegal immigrant group You Don't Speak for Me.

"We want to put a stop to all illegal aliens in this country. Let's get America back to where it belongs," says Rodriguez.

"We're hoping that a couple of presidential candidates will be there. They want to hang their coats on our tails and we'll support them, of course, if they're there speaking against the illegal alien murderers in this country."

He's calling on presidential hopefuls to join the group on Sunday to shine the spotlight on problems he says are caused by illegal immigrants.

Rodriguez claims that illegal immigrants are responsible for the deaths of 25 legal residents every day. "Twelve are murdered and 13 by accidents, drunk driving, et cetera. That's one figure that very few people know and that comes from the Homeland Security office."

No word on whether any candidate will be there. Illegal immigrant Jose Carranza is accused of the brutal execution style murders of three college students in Newark and the attempted murder of a fourth.
