Watching the Laura Ingraham show this evening, she was interviewing Mary Ann Mendoza who's son was killed in the line of duty as a police officer by an illegal.
Mendoza made a claim that I found fascinating. Her claim was that more people in the US are murdered every year by illegals than those who died in 911. Curious about her claim, I searched it out.
I found very little to support her statement. Even Politafact and Fox admitted that no such data is available. Okay, my question is why?
With our technology and communications today, one would think that such information would be readily available. In fact I was expecting to see hundreds of hits after I entered the key words in the search field.
I'm not much of a conspiracy person, but it seems to me that information so easy to compile would be available to us, especially given Trump's stand on immigration and the debates before us.
Maybe what Trump should do to gain support for his immigration policies is to create a way to collect this data. If he could and it proves Ms Mendoza's claim correct that more Americans are murdered by illegals every year than 911, would liberals still oppose his immigration efforts?
Ray, great question---------->
Like her or hate her, Ann Coulter had the same problem when writing her book, "Adios America." She could not get statistics on the question you asked, along with many others from a Google search, or any other free search she did either.
She ended up having to pay to some sort of government site to get the statistics, and those entered into her book she claims cost thousands of dollars to acquire, since each search cost money.
Now her suppositions extrapolated from the numerical facts, people can agree or disagree with. But going back on youtube to watch her pressers and interviews, in virtually every one of them she offers to the host to show her facts and figures are wrong. Nobody did, they just attacked the messenger. Therefore, all I can glean from that is her facts and charts are accurate, and that they need to call her names to deflect from those facts to make the case.
