Public Service Announcement: 47% of FBI's Murder Warrant List Was Born Outside the US
Every so often, I remind myself of the seriousness of our immigration (both legal and illegal) nightmare by visiting web sites in which crime information is published. It makes a lot of sense to put a human face on what I believe to be a key symptom of this nation's biggest crisis: Crime, particularly violent crime, is a disproportionately foreign-born problem.
I did a quick check today of the FBI's list of people wanted for murder and here are the facts:
There are 66 outstanding warrants listed, 30 of which (47.6%) are issued for people who were born outside the United States. It is astounding, but not surprising, that 24 (38%) of those wanted for taking the life of another human being were born in Mexico. Consider that the most common estimate that 10% of Mexico's roughly 118 million citizens are in the United States - mostly as illegal aliens. Consider that 12 million Mexican-born residents of the US represent about 4% of the total US population. Shouldn't it tell our leaders something when a 4% cohort of our population, most of whom we could easily remove, represents a 38% cohort of those wanted for the most violent crimes imaginable?
I wonder: What it could be?
If equality were the normal state of affairs for all cultures and all men, there should be THREE Mexicans pictured on this web page. THREE! NOT TWENTY FOUR! So, Mr. Corrupt Businessman, the next time you pick up that group of day laborers, remember that every single one of them is six times more likely than you are to commit a murder that gets the FBI's attention.
Is this an anomaly? Decide for yourself. Do your own Google search for "county most wanted list". Here are some quick links to just a few of those that came up when I did this search today:
Lake County, IL Sheriff's Office Most Wanted List
Minnehaha County Sheriff
Most Wanted-Hot List
Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office
Most Wanted
CCSO: Wanted Local Criminals
New York State's 100 Most Wanted Fugitives
It doesn't take a brain scientist or rocket surgeon to figure this stuff out. It's pretty much intutitive. If going through this information doesn't tell you several things about the character of crime in our nation and give you some ideas about things we can do to make it less of a problem, I'm afraid you are too far gone. The force of political correctness is too strong in you.
