Donald Trumps speech about illegal immigration floored me. He is one who never speaks without having all his facts and ducks in a row. I went to the internet to find facts to prove him wrong on the things he said.
I was floored by what I found. My internet research is always done with an open mind even when I myself want to hang on to my closed minded thoughts. What I found was a mix of information. It was hard just to get simple numbers and facts. I felt like it a deliberate attempt to hide something. A lot of the articles were openly slanted in favor of immigrants and used double speak. All of this just made me search harder. Friends helped me find and use different search phrases to get the information I have
Two of the following links brought home what Donald Trump was trying to say. Please click on http://www.constitutionparty.com/illegal-alien-crime-and-violence-by-the-numbers-were-all-victims/ and read it. All states have a most wanted list for crimes. This link states that 75% of the people on the lists in La., Phoenix, and Albuquerque are illegal aliens. There is more information that is eye opening in this article. The last link http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d11187.pdf was a hard and difficult article to find. It is a most valuable article. Stats are given for crimes done by illegal aliens in given years. It lists the ethnicity of those who do the crimes. Mr. Trump was correct in stating what group was responsible for the most crimes. He was wrong by not giving the ethnicity of the other groups of illegal aliens.
Donald Trump was not correct in how he said it. He should have given crime statistics for a given year and what percent was done by illegal aliens. Then give the ethnicity of all of these illegal immigrants. From this, he should have gone into his stance on illegal immigration.
I read information from the following links and watched news feeds before blogging.
