Vickie Ross: Compassion is not placing financial burden of illegal aliens on taxpayers

To The Daily Sun,

Charlene Joyce was quoting statistics that we all know were withheld from 2020-24 the Customs and Border Protection website stopped recording all statistics during that time.

When she says compassion yes, compassion is not placing the financial burden of well over 20 million illegal aliens, displacing Americans for illegal aliens for housing, for example New York was housing illegal aliens in a $500 a night luxury hotel, should that be paid by taxpayers?

One crime by an illegal alien is too many.

All crimes committed by illegal aliens represent an unnecessary and preventable burden on American society and its criminal justice system.

These differences between the two groups mean that comparing their crime rates isn’t even apples-to-oranges, but apples-to-rocks, and invalid from the start.

The Libertarians and progressives who created and purveyed the citizen-versus-illegal aliens crime rate comparison debate should be called out for their campaign of misdirection. It has helped neutralize the deserved political backlash against these 100% unnecessary extra crimes and blunted political momentum for policy remedies that would reduce the illegal immigration that caused them. The mass illegal immigration continues while those who either favor or disfavor illegal immigration wage their battles over the invalid question of relative crime rates. All crimes committed by illegal aliens represent an unnecessary and preventable burden on American society and its criminal justice system.
