Comments on: Illegal Immigrant Kills 23-Month Old Child in DUI Accident http://urbangrounds.com/2007/10/gissela-silvestre/ Sometimes the truth hurts Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:33:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Robbie http://urbangrounds.com/2007/10/gissela-silvestre/#comment-105802 Robbie Wed, 24 Oct 2007 03:11:13 +0000 http://urbangrounds.com/2007/10/23/gissela-silvestre/#comment-105802 Except that I'm not talking about numbers or statistics. I'm talking about this specific illegal alien who killed this specific little girl. And the fact that if this specific illegal alien had not been able to so easily stroll into our country, this specific little girl would not have been run down by him. I don't think it's dishonest at all that I'm more pissed off about crimes committed by illegals than similar crimes committed by asshole American citizens.

But if Mexicans aren't committing these crimes at a higher rate than native-born Americans your claim is essentially dishonest. Yes there would be fewer accidents if there were no illegal immigrants. There would be even fewer if there were no people at all! Native born Americans are at no greater danger if the accident rates are the same. I’m all for charging drivers who kill with their crimes.
