Texas Governor Rick Perry went on Hannity tonight to discuss the illegal immigrant crisis at the US southern border.
Perry shared these shocking numbers on the current crisis.
“Sean, there have been over the course of the last five years, since the fall of ’08, over 203,000 individuals who have come into Texas illegally who have been booked into our county jails. Those individuals have accounted for over 3,000 homicides and over 8,000 sexual assaults. We can’t afford to wait for Washington to secure this border. We’ve had enough.”

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that pot farmers in the Sinaloa region have stopped planting due to a massive drop in wholesale prices, from $100 per kilo down to only $25. One farmer is quoted as saying: “It’s not worth it anymore. I wish the Americans would stop with this legalization.”
“Is it hurting the cartels? Yes. The cartels are criminal organizations that were making as much as 35-40 percent of their income from marijuana,” Nelson said, “They aren’t able to move as much cannabis inside the US now.”
Where's his proof? Where do these numbers come from?

You know it's not politically correct to point out that illegals commit crimes while they are here don't you xuenchen??
You are supposed to say that the Americans do it too, so a few more certainly aren't making a drastic difference. Either that or you are supposed to propose a plan of how we can "love" the crime out of them. Maybe even fess up to forcing them to have to commit those crimes in some way or another.
You have not followed proper politically correct protocol at all.
I'm disappointed in you.

Rick Perry is a moron. Where's his proof? Where do these numbers come from? I remember you cited some easily discredited statistics the other day that had originated with Steve King and have been repeated by the likes of that halfwit Sean Hannity.

He's not on ATS. He doesn't have to show you anything.
On top of that, consider that he's about to make a bid for the Presidency. Do you not think his facts have not been checked ... and re-checked.
Other than you, who's calling him out?

It has nothing to do with 'PC' at all but thanks for playing the victim right off the bat! It's a simple question: is the illegal immigrant population responsible for disproportionately more crime or not? In particular, how many crimes are they responsible for committing against American citizens?
If they are responsible for less crimes against American citizens than a similarly sized group of Americans, then they are less of a threat to you or I than our fellow citizens.

When an illegal alien comes into this country he is automatically a criminal.

Is that a violent crime like homicide or sexual assault? This thread is clearly about hyping the the threat to American citizens posed by violent criminals within the illegal immigrant population.
Any extra crime is just that. EXTRA. It is a crime that would not be committed if one was not here illegally. We can agree to disagree with whether that's ok or not. But one illegal committing one crime is one more crime that would NOT have been committed had they not been here.

It seems that some here are just apologists for criminal illegal aliens.
