The Quagmire Right here at home

It's good to put things in perspective. That's something big media never does.

Take this WorldNetDaily piece, for instance, which reports "illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily." Shocking isn't it?

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. Peter King, R-N.Y. If those numbers are correct, it translates to 4,380 Americans murdered annually by illegal aliens. That's 21,900 since Sept. 11, 2001.

Why isn't the media on top of this 24/7?

Because it doesn't fit their template. They really don't care how many Americans are murdered, raped, pillaged, plundered, or least of all, put out of work by illegals.

Why? You'll have to ask them. You would think that the entire population would be in a state of outrage, and in fact, we probably would be if big media was doing their job. As it is, this is just something that will never attract their attention.

Pity!
