    I opted out of voting that cycle. Both candidates were trash. In a debate Mccain said some crap about how he was in a war with a 45 and that's all he needed and therefore I don't need a rifle either. I'm thinking his brain has been diseased for a while.

    It is sad how people view this as collateral damage. Why some people just want to import this thirdworld bullshit barbarism on a near open-border scale leaves me absolutely dumbfounded.

    "Sanctuary City". "Diversity is our strength". Maybe Himmler just never got around to putting these up at Auschwitz.

    LOL! Yes, Himmler and the other Nazis were all about diversity. I'm surprised they didn't put those up at Auschwitz. Nazi Germany was all about open borders and getting people with different cultures to work together towards the betterment of Nazi Germany.

    What I don't understand is that we know that illegal immigrants commit fewer violent crimes than American citizens. Why would someone think that having immigrants escaping a bad situation would make our nation worse, or more violent? What kind of logic gap is required to believe that because there is crime in Mexico anybody that comes from Mexico will be a criminal?

    Murders by illegals are very inconvenient for the left.

    How much higher is the murder rate in the US as a result of illegal immigration? Is there any analysis that tries to determine this figure?

    Isolated cases really should not swing policy one way or the other. No surprise that people will try to politicize it, of course.

    LOL. Because rural Iowa screams sanctuary city.....

    Funny how it all comes back to the GOP not holding employers accountable when they scream about illegal immigration.

    So disgusting for you to say this. Just disgusting. This is where the right loses credibility and just is trying to take tragedy and turn it into hate for immigrants. Even her family is speaking out against what you people are doing.

    Since political sides are swapping tragedies like playing cards, I'll support more measures deporting violent illegals if we can reduce the school shooting kill count to single digits.

    That's a little bit disingenuous.

    I don't mean to butt in on the overall Immigration issue, but rather just as someone interested in the facts, and their use here.

    Since it is Federal only, the kidnapping totals only 43 cases for the entire country -- 13 by illegals. Something tells me if you used the total of 13, instead of a percentage, you'd get a different response. And does that 30% really hold for all kidnappings, not just Federal, as the total will be much bigger. I'd be more interested in ALL kidnappings, not just ones that were listed as Federal.

    Also, since this is Federal crimes, 18,782 of the 25,670 federal crimes of illegal aliens was for Immigration offenses. Well, yeah, we'd actually want that to be 100% of their crimes, no? And it's not like citizens are really eligible for Immigration offenses. If you remove the Immigration offenses, their total federal crimes are 13.4% not 36.6%.

    They certainly do not commit fewer crimes than people in my neighborhood. Foreigners bring their culture, behavior, etiquette, expectations, family values, crazy religious beliefs, weaknesses, and and more baggage when they come here.

    Case in point: language.

    60% of LA households speak a language other than English. The schools are awful in LA.

    I have a knack for looking at Mexicans and knowing which ones are unstable/won't benefit society. This guy would have been deported a long time ago if I was Senator.
