The following letter was published in the Daily News by FWB Tea Party Patriot Jean Honeycutt on May 8, 2010.
With the current uproar over the AZ illegal alien law, we should educate ourselves about the substantial human cost to American citizens and legal immigrants. We are all aware of the tremendous economic cost these illegal aliens burden our taxpayers with, but seldom hear of the human costs.
Predators particularly prey on women and children. 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. These 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 sex offenders in the United States, who have had an average of four victims each. These included serial rapes, sexual homicides and child molestation.
These are victims that our Congress has failed to protect and accepts as collateral damage. The Department of Homeland Security recently revealed the arrest of over 5000 illegal immigrants who had molested thousands of children, the youngest of which was three years old. How many more thousand of children will be victimized until we speak up for them?. How many more citizens will lose their lives to illegal aliens?.
We cannot ignore the human costs to American citizens or accept it as collateral damage. It is time for Congress to listen to their constituents to secure the border and to NOT give anyone that is here illegally ANY TYPE OF AMNESTY.
I am a member of the First Coast Tea Party, and have tuns of documented information concerning illegal immigration. It is a subject that seriously concerns me because it could mean the loss of our Sovereignty. I am also of Mexican decent, and have information from that perspective as well.
Please contact me. Perhaps we can join forces, and work on this together
