Illegal immigrants take U.S. lives every year

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.

Those that are particularly vulnerable are children, women and minorities.

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.

On February 2008, an illegal immigrant took the lives of 9-year-old Hunter Javens, 13-year-old Jesse Javens, 9-year-old Emilee Olson and 12-year-old Reed Stevens.

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 sex offenders in the United States, which averages about four victims each.

Recently, Marvin Hernandez, an illegal immigrant, served a sentence for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Portsmouth.

This is one of many victims that our Congress has failed to protect and accepts as collateral damage.

Substantiating the human cost, the Department of Homeland Security estimates that illegal immigrants molest more than 2,900 children.

Ramon Zamora-Solano, an illegal immigrant living in Gastonia, N.C., was convicted of kidnapping and sexually assaulting two girls under the age of 6 years old.

How many more thousands of children will be victimized until we speak up for them?

For fair and open debate on the impact of illegal immigration, we cannot ignore the human costs to American citizens or accept it as collateral damage.

It is time for both U.S. Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Paul Hodes to listen to their constituents and sign the discharge petition for the Secure America with Verification and Enforcement Act (SAVE Act).
