Well yes, that's precisely the point. If your loved one is killed by a fellow citizen, that's bad enough. But if your loved one is murdered by someone who shouldn't even be in our country, then your grief is greatly compounded! You can't help but blame your own government for letting it happen by failing to secure our borders.One of the 2 men was in the country legally. No, to me dead is dead. I do not worry about being the victim of a homicide. If I was a victim of homicide, research tends to show that it is more likely that the killer would NOT be an illegal immigrant, since illegal immigrants have a lower crime rate than legal residents.

I am all for reducing illegal immigration into this country. How best to do it is up for discussion.
But my original point remains the same -- the primary reason for the original post in this thread was to spew hatred towards ALL illegal immigrants based on the actions of one.
