Tuesday will mark the height of audacity.
All across this great country of ours, including here in Wisconsin, as many as 1 million people who have no business being here will take part in rallies making bold demands. Illegal aliens (the media in search of backbones calls them “undocumented workers”) will take to the streets and clamor for instant citizenship.
It is chutzpah personified. You’re in the country illegally, you’re breaking the law, yet you tell America that it must grant your wishes, no questions asked. Imagine an American trying that overseas.
This in-your-face, blatant disregard for the law is an affront to every immigrant who is properly adhering to all the rules in the quest to become a U.S. citizen.
Last year, organizers called the marches, “A day without immigrants.” I’d like to envision, “A day without illegal immigrants.”
And just what would a day without illegal immigrants be like?
One of the most outspoken critics of illegal immigration is Iowa Congressman Steve King. In a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives May 3, 2006, Congressman King spoke in pointed terms about the impact of illegal immigration in America:
”They argue that they are not criminals. But in fact, it is a crime to enter the United States today. It is a crime to go to work in the United States illegally. And it isn't that they are not criminals. They break the law every day they go to work.
We must do something. And I think Democrats and Republicans agree that we need to control our borders. And the statistics that I have looked at tell me that we have a slow-motion terrorist attack going on in the United States that comes across our southern border.
Now, some will say that if I point out the crimes of anyone coming into the United States, that somehow I am labeling everyone who illegally comes into the United States as a violent criminal. And of course, we know that is not true.
About 11,000 illegals cross our southern border every day. If they were all murderers, we would double our murder rate practically just with 1 day's supply. No, that is not the case. But the crimes that are committed by those who enter this country illegally are in significantly greater numbers than the crimes that are committed by American citizens, to the extent that 28 percent of the inmates in our prisons in the United States are criminal aliens, 28 percent. And that includes our city, our county, our State and our Federal penitentiaries. And they vary only 1 or 2 percent above or below, but they average 28 percent.
And it costs us $6 billion a year to provide for the incarceration of the criminal aliens, and that is just the Federal dollars to speak of. And once we reach down into the cities, into the counties, there are other numbers out there that would grow that greater and greater. It is a minimum of $6 billion.
Now, that means then that criminal aliens are committing 28 percent of the crimes in the United States. And so that means 28 percent of the murders, 28 percent of the rapes, 28 percent of the violence and the assaults and battery, first- and second-degree murder and also manslaughter attacks are committed by criminal aliens.
So this problem is a lot larger than most people think. And it comes down to this: If we had enforced our borders, if we hadn't allowed any illegals to come into the United States, if we would have enforced our domestic laws so when people violated immigration laws internally, domestically; if we did those things, then we wouldn't have illegal aliens in America to commit the crimes.
And that would equate and extrapolate down to 12 fewer murders every day, 13 fewer people that die at the hands of negligent homicide, primarily the victims of drunk drivers, at least 8 little girls that are victims of sex crimes on a daily basis, and that number could be well higher than that because the average predator, perpetrator commits and is convicted on at least 3.6 victims. And that is the ones we find out about. There are many others that are not reported.
This is a slow-rolling, slow-motion terrorist attack on the United States costing us billions of dollars and, in fact, thousands of lives, and we have an obligation to protect the American people, and that means seal and protect our borders.”
Many of those who enter our country illegally scoff at our laws, commit violent crimes, and place a huge burden on our social services.
A day without illegal immigrants. Wouldn’t that be nice?
