So none of those crimes have victims? Sorry, that statement doesn't stand up.

This was before the US corporations realized that they could produce cars outside the US for a lot less money. The system, as it is now, is dependent on that saving of money. You can see as well as I can that even with the cars being built so cheaply they need to lay off workers. Imagine that savings was suddenly removed. Mercury would die, and other companies would be sure to follow. That's the reality.

I'm defending, not prosecuting, but I'll humor you.
Health Care: The actual reason behind the rise in costs are shortages in staff (nurses, doctors), consumer-targeted adds by pharmaceutical corporations, mismanagement, abuse, lack of attention to prevention, the number of uninsured Americans continues to grow, malpractice lawsuits, insurance companies, and people think that illegal immigrants are playing some huge role in the rising cost of health care? Give me a big fat break. We have screwed up our own system without any help needed from immigrants.
Crime: There was just a thread about this recently, when talking about that immigrant with the DUI. I had a link to an article on MSNBC, but it was removed. The story was covered by other outlets, fortunately:

Illegal immigrants are less likely to commit a crime than a natural citizen. It's pretty cut and dry.
Do you have any sources to contend with this information? Or is you're assumption that I'm wrong just
opinion?
