November 25, 2007 — I’ve often been left fascinated – and disturbed – by what makes TV news.
What makes big news? What makes less news? And what makes almost no news at all?
For example, if three local, young white men were charged in the racially motivated, beating death of an illegal African immigrant – the father of eight, no less – what kind of news would that make?
That would make huge news. It not only would lead all local newscasts, it likely would make national newscasts – at or near the top. As well it should.
But last week, after three young black men were arrested in Plainfield, NJ, charged in the robbery and beating murder of an illegal immigrant from Guatemala and police said the married father of eight was targeted because he was Hispanic, the story scarcely made a sound.
In fact, I knew nothing about it until last Sunday, when I read an AP report in a New Jersey newspaper, albeit just six paragraphs on Page 6. Another, larger NJ newspaper carried 15 paragraphs about the arrests in the murder, on Page 36.

Prussian Blue
To those hypocrites that think Prussian Blue lyrics are extreme
To those who claim that Prussian Blue’s lyrics are hateful and incite violence, I would like to direct you to the poetry of Nikki Giovanni, the Virginia Tech professor of English and Black studies- who was also, incidently, the professor for Cho Seung-hui, the gunman/student, who shot and killed all those people a few weeks ago. I wonder if that is where he learned his contempt for other races and other people. Nikki Giovanni certainly writes very hatefully of White people. The truth about who does and does not “hate” has never proved an effective restraint for what is written in the mainstream media, nor has it acted as an impetus to action in the professional- victims’ groups that target Prussian Blue.

Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war, says a new report from Family Security Matters that estimates some 2,158 murders are committed every year by illegal aliens in the U.S. The group says that number is more than 15 percent of all the murders reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the U.S. and about three times the representation of illegal aliens in the general population.
Mike Cutler, a former senior special agent with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (the former INS), is a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and an advisor to Family Security Matters (FSM). He says the high number of Americans being killed by illegal aliens is just part of the collateral damage that comes with tolerating illegal immigration.
“The military actually called for the BORTAC team, … the elite unit of the Border Patrol, to be detailed to Iraq to help to secure the Iraqi border,” Cutler notes. “Now, if our military can understand that Iraq’s security depends in measure on the ability to protect its border against insurgents and terrorists, then why isn’t our country similarly protecting our own borders?” he asks.

WorldNetDaily: Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily
WASHINGTON – While the military “quagmire” in Iraq was said to tip the scales of power in the U.S. midterm elections, most Americans have no idea more of their fellow citizens – men, women and children – were murdered this year by illegal aliens than the combined death toll of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan since those military campaigns began.
Though no federal statistics are kept on murders or any other crimes committed by illegal aliens, a number of groups have produced estimates based on data collected from prisons, news reports and independent research.
Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That’s 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.
Total U.S. troop deaths in Iraq as of last week were reported at 2,863. Total U.S. troop deaths in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan during the five years of the Afghan campaign are currently at 289, according to the Department of Defense.

As noted in Illegal Alien Crime Wave in Full Swing, in April 2005, the GAO released a report on a study of 55,322 illegal aliens incarcerated in federal, state, and local facilities during 2003. It found the following:
Of the 55,322 illegal aliens studied, researchers found that they were arrested a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien.
· They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien.
· 49% had previously been convicted of a felony, 20% of a drug offense; 18% a violent offense, and 11%, other felony offenses.
· 81% of the arrests occurred after 1990
· 56% of those charged with a reentry offense had previously been convicted on at least 5 prior occasions.
