Nit picking.
"If we can save just one life, it'd be worth it". So often we've heard this with guns and gun banning.
Well, if building the wall and strengthening our borders could save just one life, isn't that worth it?

Crimes committed by illegals are the same as crimes committed by any one else.
Humans will brake the law period.
But I notice that care doesn't make threads about other groups committing crimes, other than illegals and minorities.
As if their crimes are some how worse.
Focusing on the crimes of the few and not those of the many just shows hate and bias.
And that's all this thread really is.
His way of saying look these are special criminals that are so much worse then the ones that live here.
And whatever happened to the american idea that criminals can be reforms and become good upright people?
I just can't hate people.
By active control of our borders we can put a dent in those crimes committed by the illegal's.
Yes. And I am all for humain border enforcement.
why do you outright dismiss the pain and suffering of those that were victims of the crimes mentioned?
Don't be silly. Of course I care about victims. The thing that really bothers you is that I care about everyone , not just americans.
Why do you outright dismiss the fact that some illegals are victims as well?
This is just carewemust causing more division between americans and their fellow human beings. We need to stop doing that.
That's 200,000 murders, rapes, smuggling

Well, crimes committed by illegals is something that is infinitely more possible to prevent than crimes committed by citizens, for the simple reason that the offender Shouldn't Even Be Here in the first place, and by preventing their entry, we also prevent any crimes they may commit.
What is so hard to understand about They Shouldn't Be Here to even Be ABLE to commit a crime? They Shouldn't Even Be Our Problem. If it was some Russians then you'd be like "get these illegal Russian criminals out of here!"
But since it's Not some privileged white folks (Everyone is rich in Russia, ok? Do NOT feel sorry for Those people) but the "poor Mexicans and South Americans..." who happen to live closer to us, that makes Everything different...
And since they decided to have sex and produce a child, and drag that child across the desert which is inhumane, now we have to be lenient on our criminal justice system because "AWWWW How Cute!! He shoved his erection into her vagina and ejaculated! That is just SO SPECIAL!! Let's shower the adorable couple with extra privileges for their Great Sacrifice To Humanity! You had an Orgasm, Congratu-freaking-lations!"

How many crimes did american citizens commit in the same time period?
How many of those crimes are border crossing offenses?
How many crimes did you commit in that same time period?
How many crimes have you ever committed?

Well the data shows it's mostly drug related, or some sort of money fraud.
For one the money fraud, millions of American's (citizens) break those laws everyday, and every year, you don't pay your taxes, that's a federal crime technically. Steal mail, pay people under the table, the list goes on.
The other stats show kidnappings or drug related, which isn't all that surprising to be honest. To me from the looks of it there isn't an illegal peoples problem, there's a drug problem, on both sides of the boarder. Where these is a supplier, there is a buyer somewhere, why are there so many kidnappings and drug crimes?
Kids being ferried over with drugs to feed obviously American citizens in some way.

America has lost its way.
You mean Ellis Island, where we vetted possible immigrants and turned away the ones we deemed unfit?
We have lost our way indeed.
Ask the parents separated from thier child because it was killed by an illegal alien how it feels.
Then get back to me.
Yeah immigrants like those who made up vicious ethnic gangs coming from various parts of Europe back in the day
en.m.wikipedia.org...
Now celebrated in American pop culture, never mind that most immigrants at the time just wanted a safe space, they were met with the same nativists hate, generations later the descendants of those same immigrants, some of whom came from criminal lines are free to hate on the new comers, like their immediate ancestors were hated on.

Building a (mostly high tech plus human eyes patrolling, but some concrete walls as well) wall would definitely save lives right away and really put a big thorn in the eye of the Cartels. Banning guns however, would only embolden the criminals we already have.

Fine. Build the wall and ban guns — then we can save two lives.

Yea you took what I said far to literal.
OP was pointing out that 200k crimes are committed every year by illegal immigrants, etc.
I was pointing out that actual citizens do the same, and a much larger scale, since the date provided showed over 60% of these crimes are drug related, not fraud related, but when you look at it, the data does lead back to drugs.
The whole point of my post was to show that it's not illegal immigrants that is the issue, it's crime syndicates and drugs that seem to be the problem, on BOTH sides of the boarder. Who is buying the drugs? Who is asking for these young kids to be brought up?
That's 200,000 murders, rapes, smuggling, and other Federal crimes that severely hurt millions of Americans physically and emotionally.

I guess you can't count.
Immigration - 134,709 - 93.9%
Sex offenses - 11,037 - 17.8%
Homicide - 72 - 8.9%
