Get 10 million out of 300 million people (3%) to sign up for Obamacare, and the liberals go crazy. 11 thousand out of 60 thousand (18%) immigrants cross the border, commit heinous crimes, and none of them bat an eye.
Ironic.
Sounds like a new definition of the "Hypocritic Oath"

What? 11,000 out of 60,000?
See how well conflation works? This thread isn't about the 60,000 unaccompanied minors and yet, now you're saying that 11,000 children have committed heinous crimes and it's already getting starred up. Unbelievable.
The dubious data Rick Perry is drawing from, makes reference to illegal immigrants between 2008 and now who have been incarcerated in Texas jails.
This is pretty sad and it reminds me of all the people who got Cheney'd into thinking Iraq had something to do with 9/11.

Here ya go.
Our ruling
Perry told Beck over 3,000 homicides were committed "by illegal aliens over the" last six years.
This claim is unsupported by the presentation he relied on, which indicates that since 2008 in Texas, more than 200,000 arrested immigrants -- foreign nationals living here with or without legal permission -- had among them accumulated 3,070 homicide charges (not convictions) in their lives. Put another way, for this declaration to hold water, one would have to assume illegal immigrants committed nearly half of the state’s homicides since 2008; we found no such data.
This statement is both incorrect and ridiculous. Pants on Fire!
www.politifact.com...
using a website to do your fact checking for you under this administration lol " in 2011 propaganda was made legal".
liberal minded followers tend to think that all "fact checking websites" are factual even when the bias in the reporting is obvious to anyone with half a brain cell. CNN doesn't tell the truth and fox news doesn't tell the truth maybe you should follow the money and ask these questions "who is funding this website" "what are their personal political beliefs"

A more cogent response might have been, "Oh I misunderstood, thanks for pointing that out." Talk about not batting an eye.
I don't care that I misunderstood. Any kind of negative feeling my post generated about liberals is justified somewhere down the line.
Illegal immigration imposes enormous costs -- monetary as well as crime-related -- on American society. As regards criminal activity, Manhattan Institute scholar Heather MacDonald describes one small slice of a much larger problem:
In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide target illegal aliens, as do approximately two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants.
More than 60 percent of the Hispanic gangs in Southern California—whose membership is in the tens of thousands—is illegal. These gangs involved withdrug-distribution schemes, extortion, drive-by assassinations, assaults, and robberies.
In a 2006 study, Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute in Atlanta estimated, conservatively, that from January 1999 through April 2006 approximately 240,000 illegal aliens had committed about 960,000 sex offenses in the United States.
The fiscal costs of illegal immigration are also very high. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, in 2002 illegal-alien households imposed, in aggregate, costs exceeding $26 billion on the federal government while they paid $16 billion in federal taxes -- thereby creating a net fiscal deficit of $10.4 billion per year at the federal level, or $2,700 per household. Among the largest components of this deficit were Medicaid ($2.5 billion); medical treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food-assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion). A major reason why illegal aliens are, on balance, such a drain on the American Treasury is because approximately 60 percent of them lack a high-school degree.

Can you find the original source of those percentages?
Or do you feel like just taking the word of that blog as gospel?

Neither is anything that Rick Perry says.
i really need some fact checking on these stats to believe them.
For what it's worth, I took a shot at it. LOL.
I went to the URL linked in Post 1 and it says that these stats were published at PollPundit.com. I went to the web page where these stats were published and the statistics came "from a reader."
Since the INS doesn't exist anymore, I doubt if there is a report actually titled "INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants". I am no closer to finding a source for this than I was when I started out. Oh well!

In regards to the post we are referring to, yes. Whether its 18% of the kids in gangs or 2%, it doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that they came into our country illegally, so they are all criminals, at that point.
So no. I'm not concerned with the accuracy of some statistic. The fact is, we have a crisis on our hands and the liberals are, once again, coming up short on good ideas to fix it. There's plenty of reason for disdain.
