Are more Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war?

Question

I just got an e-mail stating the following- any thoughts??
(AgapePress) -- 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.

Temujin- can you expand on that answer please? I don't understand which standpoint you're taking.
I personally feel that the war is justified- my cousin a marine was killed over there. I know he believed in what they were doing and that is good enough for me! My point is that people here are saying the war is useless- too many american lives are being lost, but those same people are voting to give our social security to theese illegals who have taken more American lives than the war!

Answer 1

Oh yes, but the costs incurred aren't even close.. At least some still feel Iraq is a worthy cause.

You have a GREAT point. Those people are hypocrites. You have a great question. I wish you would have gotten a better response.

Sorry to hear about your relative. I did two tours in Iraq, 11th CEB.

Take care.

Answer 2

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.
