Lets just add all of Mexico's 31 States to the United States and collect taxes and pump oil.

Then we will have Hawaii, Alaska and the lower 79 states and will have a much smaller land border to our south with Guatemala and Belize.

While no government agencies specifically track crimes by illegal aliens, there have been some efforts to quantify the loss. Last December, Mac Johnson set out to investigate the number of homicides perpetrated by illegal aliens. Since the federal government would not provide any useful information, he contacted all 50 statehouses. Three months later, he had fewer than a dozen responses. Only one state, Vermont, provided any useful information.

He then set out to statistically estimate the number of murders by illegal aliens based on available crime data and conservative estimates of the actually number of illegal aliens in the country – which, of course, nobody really knows.

He found that between 1,806 and 2,510 people in the U.S. are murdered annually by illegal aliens. If he's right, that would represent between 11 percent and 15 percent of all murders in the U.S.

In one study of a sample 55,000 illegal immigrants serving prison sentences in the U.S., it was discovered that they are responsible for over 400,000 arrests and over 700,000 felony crimes.

We'd be of course happier if the guy had ignored them in fear of getting caught and the boy would've died. We'd have no idea of him ever being there and at the present he'd be happily staying in the US.

So, you're saying we should blame every death due to neglect upon illegal aliens? Not sure I'd go quite that far.

we could send the hero to finland. Finland welcomes illegal aliens don't they?

If you're gonna get indignant about it you should insist on the pc term, undocumented alien/worker.

Calling an illegal alien an undocumented worker is like calling a burglar an uninvited house guest.

Drunky, if that's not enough of a set up for you, you're getting rusty..

It doesn't confuse me, nor does it confuse the issue of illegal immigration.

He somehow helped the little boy... GOOD, shows a basic human good deed.  He broke the law by being here... BAD.  Does this mean I wanted the boy to die? no.  It does mean that right is right and wrong is wrong.

Also in reference to drunkys use of wetback, it is quite correct seeing that the term came into use with "Operation Wetback" during the Eisenhower Administration.  It was a splendid success, 750 agents detained and deported 130,000+ illegal aliens and another 1.3 MILLION, fearing arrest left on their own.

This was accomplished by 750 agents from June 17,1954 to September 1954.  Their leader was INS director Joe Swing (Retired General who was with the 101st airborne btw)

Just think of what 6,000 could do in a year if given a free hand to do so?  I'd sure love to see it happen.

I enjoy this type of discussion BTW Chairboy... I like to do all of these things in a friendly manner, I dont have to agree with ya to enjoy talking to you!     (You have EVERY right to disagree with me... and thereby be WRONG... but well within your rights!)

Did nobody get the point that he had already made his crossing and sacrificed his "American Dream" to help a little boy in distress?
Illegal or not, that is the kind of citizen you need to build a good society.

agreed, maybe he can use that fact to help his immigration application next time he wants to do it the right way.

We will send them to Iceland. Since it is getting warmer there they will adapt quite well I am sure.

Yeah, right, the American Dream is yours, all you have to do is break the law.

In fact, that's what the majority of the US needs to catch up on... Obviously, welfare couch potatoes are the new American Dream.
