From The Aspen Times:
Have you reviewed the statistics concerning the behavior of the illegal aliens who are here already? It might give you a good idea of about who you are planning to let in.
Specifically, have you read the crime statistics: the number of felons per 1,000 illegal aliens; the number of pedophiles, rapists, drunken drivers, murderers, identity thieves and drug smugglers, whose numbers are now clogging our prison system to overflowing!
I understand that the bill plans to weed out all of these criminals and, I presume, terrorists during the 24-hour period allocated for a background check. Twenty-four hours?
How could the bill’s authors allocate only 24 hours to determine whether the applicant has a criminal record, either here or in Mexico, has a deportation order, owes back taxes, has stolen Social Security numbers, has TB, is dodging DWI violations or child-molestation charges?
Be honest! Our government can’t even do easy stuff in 24 hours. How could they vote for a bill that claims to be able to do something as important and as difficult as a thorough background check on a foreign national in 24 hours?
