From the Nashua Telegraph
Many New Hampshire residents are under the impression that illegal immigration is a victimless crime. Unfortunately, this is not true. Studies have found that illegal immigration causes substantial human costs to American citizens and legal immigrants.
According to the 2006 House Committee on Homeland Security Border Report, every year an estimated 4,300 American citizens lose their lives by an illegal immigrant. Several thousands of senseless deaths could have been prevented if our federal, state and local law enforcement would enforce our immigration laws and secure the border.
The Violent Crimes Institute estimated that there are 240,000 illegal immigrant s*x offenders in the United States, which averages about four victims each. Substantiating the human cost, the Department of Homeland Security estimates that illegal immigrants molest more than 2,900 children. How many more thousands of children will be victimized until we speak up for them?
