Illegal immigration costs more than mere money. For example, 95% of outstanding homicide warrants in Los Angeles target illegal aliens. Most recently, a truck driver ran over Oakland police officer William Seuis and fled the scene. Sources indicate that the driver, Carlos Mares, was possibly an illegal immigrant, but most of the news stories skirt around the issue. SFGate reports that Mares is "being held without bail in a federal immigration case", so draw your own conclusions. FreeCalifornia informs me that Mares is an illegal alien, and that Oakland residents are super-pissed. Why isn't the media covering this angle?

The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
Three reasons come to mind, all related:
1) The data don't fit the script. Liberals feel entitled to their own sets of facts. If a wealthy businessman commits a hit and run, that's material. If an illegal does, that's a distraction.
2) Since we're all anti-immigrant racists, (and not very bright) we need the script. We can't be trusted with just any old facts about the stories they choose to feed us.
3) Reporting a clean, properly described story is really such drudgery. Therefore every reporter fancies themselves as a commentator.
On the murder stats, the high number of outstanding warrants probably reflects lots of perps who've fled back over the border. It's a nice Plan B if things get out of hand.
