The death toll continues to mount, as border remains unsecured

March 19, 5:51 PM

With the recent arrest of a Salvadoran national for the murder of missing intern Chandra Levy, the issue of crime attributed to illegal aliens is and should be on the minds of millions of Americans.

Ingmar Guandiqua who was is in this country illegally, is currently in prison for the assault of two other women in Washington D.C. He was actually arrested only a few days after Levy’s disappearance on burglary charges, though law enforcement was aware of his illegal status, Immigration and Customs Enforcement was not notified due to the District’s sanctuary policy.

While Chandra Levy may be the most well known American who has been killed by an illegal alien, she is only one in a staggeringly large and ever-growing group.

The federal government does not keep comprehensive statistics on the number of crimes committed in this country by illegal aliens. Taking a look at the results of a few independent studies, it is not surprising that they don’t.

In 2006, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) released the results of a study which found that 4,380 Americans are murdered every year by illegal aliens. The study also concluded that 4,745 Americans are killed every year by illegal aliens driving drunk.

In 2005, the Government Accountability Office announced the results of a study which examined the criminal history of 55,322 illegal aliens who were incarcerated in federal, state, and local institutions during the year 2003. The results of that study follow:

The 55,322 illegal aliens in the study accounted for a total of 459,614 arrests (or eight arrests per illegal alien). Their arrests represented a total of nearly 700,000 criminal offenses (or 13 offenses per illegal alien). 36 percent of those studied had been arrested at least five times previously.

Peter Wagner, the author of “The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration,” summed up the situation when he told WorldNetDaily: "While the vast majority of illegal aliens are decent people who work hard and are only trying to make a better life for themselves and their families, it is also a fact that a disproportionately high percentage of illegal aliens are criminals and sexual predators.That is part of the dark side of illegal immigration and when we allow the 'good' in we get the 'bad' along with them. The question is, how much 'bad' is acceptable and at what price?"

Speaking of the price we are paying, the Ohio Jobs and Justice Political Action Committee has set up an on-line memorial for victims who were killed by illegal aliens. They continuously update the site and have an extensive list of victims’ names, along with some information on the victim, as well as a brief history on the criminal case. What follows is a small sampling of some of the more recent cases:

Victim: Breanna Slaughter-Eck

Age: 12

In late 2008, Breanna was riding her bicycle in San Jose, California when she was allegedly hit and killed by unlicensed illegal alien Adriana Fierro DeMarin, who now sits in jail awaiting trial.

Victim: Nayashieka Cooper

Age: 19

Ms. Cooper and her 3 year old son were walking down a street in Athens, GA, when Mexican national Abel Gonzalez-Perez ran her over and immediately fled the scene (police captured him three days later). Her little boy sat by his mother and watched helplessly as she lay dying next to him.

In January 2009, Gonzalez-Perez pled guilty to DUI, vehicular manslaughter, and hit and run.

Victim: Lila Meizel

Age: 83

Ramon Alvarado, Jose Alvarado, and Ana Rodas are all in the country illegally and have been arrested for the 2008 murder of Mrs. Meizel. The three allegedly beat the elderly woman to death, then burned her body in an attempt to cover-up the crime scene.

Even though the Alvarado cousins had several prior arrests, local authorities never notified ICE of their immigration status because Montgomery County, MD has a sanctuary policy in place.

Victim: Dean Knospe

Age: 71

On January 22, 2009, Mexican national Eulalio Haro was convicted in the 2006 hit and run death of Mr. Knospe. Haro who was driving under the influence, hit Knospe who was riding his motorcycle, and drove away, leaving him to die on the road.

Haro had been previously deported after serving a prison sentence for another crash in 1993, but re-entered the country illegally.

Victim: William Sullo III

Age: 30

In November 2008, Ecuadorian national Jose Maldanado Luzuriaga was arrested for the murder of Mr. Sullo. Police allege that he killed Mr. Sullo who worked as a bartender at the Salute Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA, because he refused to serve him anymore alcohol and later had him removed from the bar.

Luzuriaga allegedly waited outside the bar for Sullo to leave, and upon seeing the bartender exit the building, rammed his F-150 pickup truck into him. He has been charged with criminal homicide, attempted homicide (he nearly ran over another bartender in the parking lot), reckless endangerment, and not possessing a driver’s license.

Luzuriaga told police that he had been living in the U.S. for five years.

The on-line memorial goes on and on with names of Americans both young and old who have been sacrificed for political reasons. Not Congress nor our former or current President will actually defend our border, and stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United States.

For many years, the Republicans wanted to keep the border open to fill the country with cheap labor, which benefits business owners by undercutting wages for everyone. The Democrats have sought to keep the border unprotected to bring in millions of potential new voters, which is why that party pays so much lip service to the plight of illegal aliens.

Whether they seek workers willing to work for sub-standard wages, or voters who will keep them in power…It is the American people who have been sold-out by both parties.

Every time I learn that a family has been attacked, or a child has been killed by an illegal alien, I think this must be the tipping point. There are certain dates in this ongoing tragedy which stand out more than others.

Such as on June 22, 2008, when three members of the Bologna family were gunned down by Salvadoran national and MS-13 gang member Edwin Ramos. Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16 were shot to death by Ramos with an AK-47 as they sat in their car on a crowded street, in the city’s Excelsior District

Or on September 10, 2008, the day the parents of 3-year-old Marten Kudlis buried their son at Fairmount Cemetery, while waiting for his ice cream in a Denver Baskin and Robbins.

Guatemalan national Francis Hernandez slammed into a pickup truck, which was then pushed into the ice cream shop’s window. The toddler was sitting at a table in front of that window, and was sent flying as the truck came crashing through it.

This nation sits on the brink of an economic meltdown, while our cities are becoming hunting grounds for predatory criminals. We have enough problems in this country without importing them from foreign lands.

Because we live with it everyday, most Americans understand and fear this growing threat. However, our elected representatives continue to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the mounting death toll.

A weary nation must ask the question…How many Americans have to die before the border is secured?

Until that question is answered…Keep your families close, and go with the understanding that you and you alone are responsible for your own safety.

Like healthcare - it'll be addressed (in some form) once the pressing issues of the day (the tanking economy) are dealt with.

O'reilly is 100% correct. This scumbag shouldn't have been here to commit the crime in the first place.

It's not the freakin same. Most new (legal) immigrants are on their best behavior when in someone else's country. An illegal immigrant should be five fold as respectful and law abiding. Tha is freakin common sense unless somebody is dumb.

I also liked his point about the incarceration rate. Not!. Not even one illegal immigrant should be prison. Just yesterday I saw on the news how that they are searching for an illegal immigrant who raped a 5 year old boy and a 12 year old girl. ####### like this happens at least once a month in the area. Even once a decade is once too many. No American should be a victim of a crime at the hands of an illegal immigrant in the name of being PC period.

So these deaths and murders are related to the economy. Let me guess, your not saying that.

He already did:

I'm having visions of The Running Man.

That's right BY. I am clearly not saying that.

So stop talking in code and actually say what you think. Or do you think this cunningness you have is some sort of sign of intelligence. After all you did criticize other posters for being upfront rather than being, and I quote, "subtle"
