Is it true that illegal aliens kill more Americans than the Iraq war? (This is for A school project)?

I had no idea that so many illegal-aliens were killing innocent Americans, until recently. Please consider visiting these sites, to confirm the results of this study:

- More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says Jim Brown of OneNewsNow.com

- Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily (WorldNetDaily.com)

- More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says (Agape Press)

Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war, says a new report from Family Security Matters that estimates some 2,158 murders are committed every year by illegal aliens in the U.S. The group says that number is more than 15 percent of all the murders reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. and about three times the representation of illegal aliens in the general population.

Mike Cutler, a former senior special agent with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (the former INS), is a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and an advisor to Family Security Matters (FSM). He says the high number of Americans being killed by illegal aliens is just part of the collateral damage that comes with tolerating illegal immigration.

"The military actually called for the BORTAC team, ... the elite unit of the Border Patrol, to be detailed to Iraq to help to secure the Iraqi border," Cutler notes. "Now, if our military can understand that Iraq's security depends in measure on the ability to protect its border against insurgents and terrorists, then why isn't our country similarly protecting our own borders?" he asks.

"We are not five and a half years, nearly, after 9/11, and yet our borders remain open," the Center for Immigration Studies fellow observes. "We have National Guardsmen assigned on the border, but it turns out they are unarmed," he points out. "Their rules of engagement are very simple: if armed intruders head your way, run in the other direction."

This situation would "almost be comical if it wasn't so tragic," Cutler asserts. "If our borders are wide open, this means that drugs, criminals, and terrorists are entering our country just as easily as the dishwashers," he says.

The report from FSM estimates that the 267,000 illegal aliens currently incarcerated in the nation are responsible for nearly 1,300,000 crimes, ranging from drug arrests to rape and murder. Such statistics, Cutler contends, debunk the claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime. "Then we even have another problem," he adds, "and that's the Visa Waiver Program."

    yeah, absolutely, they kill people all the time, I work as a paramedic, I had a pick-up truck with two illegals in it that were drunk as hell and ran a stop sign killing 3 generations of a family. grandmother and grandfather, their daughter her husband and one of her children. that is one accident. out of many that I have seen. I know of atleast 20 people that have been killed by illegals in my local community over the past couple years.

    Do I agree with a statistic? That's a very silly question. My answer is "no", I don't believe that illegal aliens are killing exactly 12 Americans a day. The fact is that we all came from other countries originally, unless you are a Native American, and who are we to put laws on who else can come and prosper here? The funny thing is that an awful lot of these Republican anti-immigration nutjobs are professing to be Christians, and what could be more rightious than telling people to stay in thier own impoverished country, suffer, and die so that we can have a bit more elbow room. If you are seriously concerned that illegals are killing more of these "rightful" Americans than this pointless and greed fueled war why don't you recommend something intelligent, like stopping the war and spending the billions of dollars that end up in Haliburtons pockets on fixing our poverty situation by creating jobs and funding programs for whoever wants to be a productive part of our society.

    The Corporations have more power to keep our borders open because we have a corporate sponsored President dedicated to their cause.There are millions of illegals here;of course some of them commit crimes,probably in greater proportion than do legal Americans.Crime-wise,my concern is with their numerous offspring who show a far greater propensity to form violent gangs than do other groups.This can only worsen as our society becomes increasingly more high tech.We need to attract more people who value education since many of the menial tasks that Mexicans now perform will become increasingly mechanized.Some if not many will do well but there will be many who will fall behind and become involved in criminal activities-much more so than the general population,I fear.

    Why not? If I knew I could break the law with impunity, and all I had to do was drive a couple of hours and have a government protect me from whatever crimes I committed, sure! These numbers will continue to grow until we do two things:

    1. Stop the influx of criminals (and before you bleeding hearts out there say ANYTHING, by coming here illegally, you fall under the criminal category).

    2. Shove our collective boots up the *** of any illegals still here, and show them we're tired of supporting another nation's crappy economy.

    Immigrations human cost........48,000 Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens since 9-11.Ed Rubenstein says that in 1980, less than 9000 criminal aliens were in American prisons. Now there are around 267,000 non-citizens there.

    I don't doubt these numbers. In Chicago Democrats murder about the same number of people that are killed by enemy action in Iraq over the past 6 years.

    Chicago Democrats murdered about 1,000 people a year several times in the recent past.

    This should be common information, but the media will attempt to cover it up.

    Not sure but why not 12 million illegals bound to be a few thousand murders in the bunch. Still more Americans killed by other citizens but 4,000 probably low balling it in regards to those killed by illegals.

    In addition to what others have put up here, take a look at this site (it holds terrorism and child-abduction statistics, incl. rapes of young girls... some, at least, by illegal mexicans);http://illegal.globalincidentmap.com/home.php
