Counting The Dead

A guest post by George Meredith

Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead. The Amnesty Bill is finis. Too bad, so sad.

While the Drive-By Media is having an absolute orgasm of self congratulatory spasms over their tipping of the scales of political power in Congress in the midterm elections, it’s a sure bet that most Americans have no idea how many of their fellow citizens - men, women and children – are being murdered or otherwise harmed by illegal aliens.

According to numbers released by Representative Steve King, (R–IA), 4,380 Americans are murdered annually by illegal aliens – 21,900 since 9/11. That’s twelve murdered Americans a day; approx seven times the number of military deaths in the War Against Islamic Terrorism. Additionally, Rep King reports that thirteen Americans are also killed daily by drunken illegal alien drivers – that’s 23,725 unnecessary deaths since the 11 September sneak attack. And that raises to approx 15 times the death rate a day of American military personnel involved in the War Against Islamic Terrorism.

There’s more, and it only gets worse. Sexual assaults, including 2,500 cases of child molestation annually, have become so bad that four years ago ICE launched a task force just to deal with the problem (Operation Predator – see http://www.ice.gov). These numbers seem to track very much in line with Rep. King’s figures. He reports eight American children are victims of sexual abuse by illegal aliens every day – a total of 2,920 annually.

King’s figures are greater since he gets them from state and local jurisdictions, which would not be included in the numbers from ICE. So it would appear that ICE deals only with the smaller half of the problem, but King’s figures probably do not deal adequately with the real situation either, since so many local jurisdictions, and even some states, regard themselves as “sanctuaries” and do everything they can to cover up illegal immigrant crimes.

It gets uglier and uglier:

The Violent Crimes Institute of Atlanta estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each (remember we are now speaking of sex offenses against adults as well as children). This reflects the work of Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Institute. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999 through April 2006, including serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants. Please note that her study straddles the 11 September sneak attack (http://www.drdsk.com/articles.html).

In April 2005, the Government Accountability Office released a report on a 2003 study of some 55 thousand illegal aliens jailed in federal, state, and local facilities. The GAO found that the fifty-five thousand jailed illegals represented between them some 459 thousand arrests, an average of eight arrests per inmate. The GAO also reported that those arrests grew out of some 700,000 criminal offenses, an average of some thirteen offenses per inmate. And finally, 36 percent had been previously arrested at least five times (I no longer have that GAO link, but I’ll bet you can find it if you really want to).

What relevance do all these numbers have to the Illegal Immigration Amnesty bill that caused such an uproar in the Senate until this morning, you ask? Well, certainly just as much relevance as the death toll of GIs reported daily by the Drive-By Media has to the War Against Islamic Terrorism (surely by now you must know where I am going with this).

If, for a mere six months, not for the last five and one half years:

The Drive-by Media had reported the Immigration Amnesty battle the way they have reported the War Against Islamic Terrorism;

If they had reported each day, in some detail, the murders committed by Illegals (including the names of the victims);

If they had reported, singularly, the several instances of child molestation committed by Illegals each day (without the names of the victims, of course);

If they had reported each day, the instances of other serious crimes, including the rapes and sexual assaults, and including attacks on citizens;

Is it even remotely possible that Senator Kennedy and President Bush would have had the arrogance, much less the courage, to roil the US Senate in a three week battle in an attempt to ram this Amnesty Bill down the throats of the American People?

Not hardly.

Let this be exhibit A to remind us why we hold the Drive-Bys in such low regard.
