Critics of President Barack Obama's policies -- or non-policies -- regarding illegal alien criminals point to the enormous amount of crime and violence committed by them. According to the US Department of Justice and the FBI, there are more than 50,000 gang members who are in this country illegally. For example, the violent and powerful MS-13 or Mara Salvatrucha is comprised of many illegal aliens and boasts over 10,000 members nationwide.
Illegal aliens do not confine their criminal activities to border cities. Communities throughout this country are experiencing increasing alien involvement in drug importation and distribution, weapons smuggling, and violence against persons and property.
The escalation in alien crime has placed added demands on state and local law enforcement.jpg)
personnel. Effective identification of aliens involved in crime requires familiarity with fraudulent documentation. Proper arrest procedures must be carried out, and complex notification and reporting requirements must be satisfied; otherwise, dangerous aliens can escape prosecution and deportation. Handling the myriad problems associated with alien crimes is often beyond the capabilities of local police departments
More than two-thirds of the illegal alien defendants charged with an immigration offense were identified as having been previously arrested. Thirty-six percent had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions; 22%, 2 to 4 times; and 12%,1 time.
Sixty-one percent of those defendants had been convicted at least once; 18%, 5 or more times; 26%, 2 to 4 times; and 17%, 1 time. Of those charged, 49% had previously been convicted of a felony: 20% of a drug offense; 18%, a violent offense; and 11%, other felony offenses. Twelve percent had previously been convicted of a misdemeanor.

Defendants charged with unlawful reentry had the most extensive criminal histories. Nine in ten had been previously arrested. Of those with a prior arrest, half had been arrested on at least 5 prior occasions.
Fifty-six percent of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted of a violent or drug-related felony. By contrast, under half of those charged with alien smuggling, a third of those charged with unlawful entry, and just over a quarter those charged with misuse of visas and other charges had previously been arrested. The criminal histories of these defendants were generally less extensive: more than 70% had been previously arrested fewer than 5 times.
Immigration fraud is another method used by criminals and terrorists to gain entry into the United States and carryout their agendas. The Identity and Benefits Fraud Unit, an investigative component of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is charged with detecting, deterring, and disrupting the fraudulent schemes used by terrorist and criminal organizations. In fiscal year 2008, the IBF Unit opened almost 3,800 new cases of immigration fraud and received or developed over 7,000 leads.
"There are crimes committed against US citizens that would not occur if only the federal government clamped down on illegal aliens entering the US and deporting illegals already here. Even one of the biggest murder cases in the new Millennium -- the Chandra Levy killing -- was committed by an illegal alien who was a one-man crime wave," said Det. Snolinsky.
"How long are Americans and our leaders going to allow this crime wave to grow before they start to demand action, not just flowery Obama speeches?" he added.

Why would Obama go after future voters?
Obama is a good song & dance man and he has pulled the wool over his supporters eyes. He doesn't really consider himself an American. He sees himself as a Global Citizen. He doesn't consider himself to be Black. He is above Color, and his sickening condensation of American Blacks even had Jesse Jackson saying, "I'd like to cut his b---- off". Barrack Hussian Obama sees himself as an African foreign Prince in exile. He humiliates himself by bowing down to foreign dictators, and while every blood thirsty Arab dictator praises him and calls him "My Son" they see him for what he really is, a weak man trying to impress the world. He sees the rough & tough criminal illegal aliens as his own kind. Its like a White kid from suburbia wearing his ball cap backwards and his pants down below his waist and then going down to the ghetto to be with his Bros. The Bros will use him for every cent he has and then when he is useless kick him out. Obama wants to go slumming with the scum and show-off.
Your claims are a bunch of BS given that crime has been DECREASING since 1990 - even as immigration has been INCREASING;

A city of illegal immigrants with easy access to guns, just across the river from a metropolis ripped apart by brutal drug war violence. Should be a bloodbath, right?
Here's the surprise: There were just 18 murders in El Paso last year, in a city of 736,000 people. To compare, Baltimore, with 637,000 residents, had 234 killings.
San Diego, Laredo, El Paso—these cities are teeming with immigrants, and they're some of the safest places in the country.

Hey "Human Being", are you saying that this article from the 'Law Enforcement Examiner' is bogus, the facts and statistics all lies, and the author, Jim Kouri, a Black man himself, is promoting somekind of racist conspiracy against Illegal aliens? What hogwash! About 1/3 of all prisoners are illegal aliens costing the American taxpayer about $30,000 per year each to keep them in prison.Imagine budgeting that money to the needy for health care, education, housing, or extending the unemployment time for the unemployed. No "Human Being", you can't, can you. Tell us about the illegal aliens ruining our health care system or about the 80+ hospitals nationwide they bankrupted. Tell us about the illegal alien who raped a baby but had to be set free because his rights were not read to him in Spanish. Explain to us the kidnapping of a child last year and held for over a week, then tossed out into the street, because Illegal Aliens had a beef with his parents. Most are the worst type of scum.
I say provide free transportation into this country for anyone wanting to come here. Furnish them with money, housing and personal transportation until they can get established in what ever catagory of crime they feel comfortable with. Furnish them with "get out of jail cards", that when shown to law enforcement, will disallow them being arrested for criminal offences.
This would bring this whole subject to a quick conclusion. It would result in a new type of war on this soil. It would be a war that we either win or lose. It would be a fast forward to the final results. If we win it will be good. If we lose, we deserve it.
