permalink  Illegals Deadlier Than War On Terror

This past Thanksgiving evening, a United States Marine who was home from Iraq was driving with his date, when another car smashed into theirs and killed them both. The other driver, who was not even injured, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.

On the early broadcast news in Washington, DC this morning (Thursday, November 30th), some stations carried the report of this incident, and described the drunk driver as an “illegal immigrant.” By the time the 7 AM news came on, that version of the story had been quashed.

The main-stream media versions of the story do not mention the illegal status of the accused driver:

Driver Accused Of DUI In Crash That Killed Marine Home For Thanksgiving

COLUMBIA, Md. – A local Marine was killed Thanksgiving night in a crash caused by an alleged drunk driver. Brian Matthews, 21, of Columbia, Md., was driving with a date, 24-year-old Jennifer Bower of Montgomery Village, in his car on Thanksgiving night.

A driver hit them in Columbia, killing them both.

Matthews had served in Iraq and was home for Thanksgiving.

Matthews’ mother says her son had just signed up to be an organ donor and his organs helped save six other people.

Eduardo Soriano, 25, the driver of the other vehicle, was charged with driving under the influence.

This additional information comes from a news channel in Baltimore:

Matthews had served in Ramadi, Iraq, as part of the Fox Company 2nd Battalion 5th Marine Regiment.

One of his family members said he was the kind of person who would do whatever he could to help others.

Matthews, who recently trained in the Pacific Ocean, had just celebrated Thanksgiving with his family when he and Bower went out on a date….

Police said the driver of the other car, 25-year-old Eduardo Soriano, failed to stop at a traffic signal and hit Matthews’ car.

Soriano wasn’t injured but was charged with driving under the influence. Court documents showed he had a blood-alcohol level of .32. The legal limit is .08.

Soriano is also charged with two counts of manslaughter while intoxicated and homicide by motor vehicle.

Matthews graduated from Howard High School in 2003. He was an Eagle Scout.

According to statistics compiled by US Congressman Steve King (R-5th CD Iowa),

  • 13 Americans are killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals
  • 12 U.S. citizens die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day in crimes

Do the math.

[ (12 + 13) x 365 = 9125 ]

That’s more than nine thousand people killed every year in the United States by illegal aliens.

By contrast, consider the death toll for US servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan since the beginning of the war on terror, as reported last week by the Department of Defense:

  • Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863.
  • Total U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289.

Do the math.

[ (2863 + 289) divided by five years of war = 630 ]

So illegal aliens in the United States are more than fourteen times as lethal (14.48 actually) as a full scale armed conflict.

Quod erat demonstrando.

Our mainstream media outlets are strangely silent about this. Do we hear them constantly beating a drum about THIS civil war? No. Their selective reporting amounts to blatant prevarication.

    Seen this? I wonder how accurate it is?

    Immigration by the Numbers

  25. Nancy K. Matthis says:

    Thanks for your comment. In answer to your question, the “Immigration by the Numbers” video is accurate.

    Roy Beck is not depending on any esoteric data. He’s just doing simple math, based on the US Census numbers, which actually grossly UNDERESTIMATE the number of illegals in the United States.

    It is just a reprise of that old high school science experiment in which you have a population of fruit flies that doubles with every generation. (The reason they used fruit flies is that they don’t take very long to reproduce, and you can get the experiment done during the class term.) You fill the jar 1/8 full with fruit flies. It looks like there is a lot of room left. Next thing you know, the jar is 1/4 full. Then 1/2 full. But not to worry, because there is still half of the whole jar available for them to fly around in. And then — WHOOPS — the jar is jammed full, and they begin to die.

    However, in the video, Roy Beck uses gumballs instead of fruit flies.

    For a population to grow in numbers, more children must be born than needed to replace the older folk who are dying. If every man and woman pair off monogamously, and we don’t allow for a slight variation due to women who die before childbearing years, simple replacement requires that every woman have two children (one to replace herself and one to replace her man). If every woman had four children during her childbearing years, the population would double every generation, sans devastating war, terrible famine and pandemic lethal disease like the black plague.

    Mexican immigrant women (legal and illegal) living in the United States have a fertility rate of 3.51 according to the 2002 US census. So their population will not quite double, but it certainly will increase at a very rapid rate. And whereas the educated American population may defer marriage and childbearing until they are adequately prepared to raise a family, the immigrants will produce “anchor babies” as soon as biologically possible, no later than age 18, because we as taxpayers will support them. So our “jar,” the continental United States, will fill up pretty rapidly.

    But it gets worse, much worse. The parents do not die when the kids are born. So now within four years, the 2 parents and their 3.51 kids are all living here. We can count on every annual increment of 1000 illegal Mexicans becoming 2755 within four years (the origianl 1000 plus the 3.51 children that each of the 500 women in the increment will have produced). Illegals are coming at the rate of about one million per year from Mexico, according to the latest estimates by border patrol agents. Each year’s crop will result in 2.755 million new mouths to feed. In less than eleven years, that’s 10% of our current population.

    Whew! I think that I’ll turn this into another article.

    I got a reply from a resentful “Vegitarian” about the increased price of lettuce . . .

    Sheesh.

  27. Chimpanzee Refuge says:

    The eagerness of the unthinking, track-back happy sycophants peppering this comment stream notwithstanding, this is an absurdly poor analysis. Even if King’s statistics are relaible, which seems unlikely, the assumptions you make in construing them as evidence that illegals are more dangerous to Americans than any war — or anything else — are transparently bogus.

    For a full explanation, go here.

  28. Chimpanzee Refuge says:

    By the way, the statistics “compiled” by King are completely manufactured, as explained here.

    This, by the way, is not an endorsement of allowing illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. whether they kill people or not. But if you have any integrity, you will acknowledge King’s fabrications and your own propgagation of those fabrications, however truthful you may have previously believed them to be.

  29. American Daughter Media Center - Front Page » Blog Archive » Going By The Numbers says:

    [...] In a previous article, Illegals Deadlier Than War On Terror, we compared the numbers of United States citizens killed by illegal aliens to the tally of our troops killed in the war on terror. In response to that article, one of our readers wrote asking whether we had seen the video produced by NumbersUSA titled Immigration by the Numbers. He asked, “I wonder how accurate it is?” [...]
