"Give me your huddled masses yearning to rob and rape, Your huddled murders yearning to kill freely, The wretched refuse of your teeming jails ..."

This is more horrific than the Mariel Boatlift, and on a more gigantic scale of crime from Mexico and Latin America. m/r

The horrific figures on the number of illegal aliens convicted of murder | PJ Tatler

By Rick Moran On August 9, 2015

Former U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo has penned a piece for Breitbart that should become part of the discussion of the campaign. The article is about illegal alien crime and the silence by the press on this issue.

Illegal alien crime is a symptom of the much broader problem of our inability to control our borders — who comes in, who stays out, and how many immigrants we allow to come in.

Controlling one’s borders is a prerequisite for sovereignty. No leaders in Europe are advocating that all the African migrants washing up on the shores of Greece, Italy, and other southern European countries be allowed in. Neither should we. And thousands of Americans have paid for our weak and ineffective immigration enforcement with their lives — cut short by criminals who came here illegally.

Tancredo outlines the problem:

The mainstream media – including, sadly, major segments of the presumably conservative media, like the Wall Street Journal — are working overtime to keep the American public and the American voters in the dark on the scope of illegal alien crime. The murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco exposed only the tip of a massive iceberg, and the media establishment is desperate to avoid dealing with the iceberg underneath.

Let’s look at a few numbers. You haven’t seen them in the New York Times, Atlanta Constitution, or the Miami Herald, nor have they been featured on NBC Nightly news or CNN. So, the average American is blissfully unaware of them.

• Between 2008 and 2014, 40% of all murder convictions in Florida were criminal aliens. In New York it was 34% and Arizona 17.8%.
• During those years, criminal aliens accounted for 38% of all murder convictions in the five states of California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and New York, while illegal aliens constitute only 5.6% of the total population in those states.
• That 38% represents 7,085 murders out of the total of 18,643.

That 5.6% figure for the average illegal alien population in those five states comes from US Census estimates. We know the real number is double that official estimate. Yet, even if it is 11%, it is still shameful that the percentage of murders by criminal aliens is more than triple the illegal population in those states.
