Our Border With Mexico Is Like A Wound Without A Scab

Source:

Approximately 25% of all federal prison inmates (about 54,000 in 2010) are aliens and 68% of them are from Mexico. From 2003 through 2009, the number of aliens in state and local prisons increased by about 10,000 per year, from 220,000 to almost 296,000.

Based on our random sample of 1,000 criminal aliens, we estimate that our study population of about 249,000 criminal aliens were arrested about 1.7 million times, averaging about 7 arrests per criminal alien, slightly lower than the 8 arrests per criminal alien we reported in 2005.23 They were arrested for a total of about 2.9 million offenses, averaging about 12 offenses per criminal alien, slightly lower than the 13 offenses per criminal alien we reported in 2005.24

The cost of maintaining these criminals is astronomical.

The estimated annual cost to incarcerate criminal aliens in BOP facilities plus SCAAP reimbursements ranged from about $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2005 to $1.6 billion in fiscal year 2009, as shown in figure 17. About 77 percent of these costs were associated with incarcerating criminal aliens in BOP facilities. In 2005, we estimated that the costs to incarcerate criminal aliens in BOP facilities along with SCAAP reimbursements ranged from about $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2001 to about $1.4 billion in fiscal year 2004.34 For data in fiscal year 2010 dollars, see appendix II. The cost to incarcerate criminal aliens in BOP facilities increased by about 15 percent from about $1.1 billion in fiscal year 2005 to about $1.3 billion in fiscal year 2009 due to increases in both the criminal alien population incarcerated and costs to incarcerate inmates in BOP facilities. SCAAP reimbursements to states and localities increased by about 5 percent from fiscal years 2005 to 2008.

Throw another $323 million in costs incurred by local and states on top of the $1.632 billion for federal criminal aliens and it cost about $2 billion in 2009 to house these morons.

The above stats are available here, from the United States Government Accountability Office, Report to Congressional Requesters: CRIMINAL ALIEN STATISTICS - Information on Incarcerations, Arrests, and Costs.

I Will Survive

It's Howdy Dowdy Time

What's the problem? The Mooslims already set their clocks back 1400 years.

On August 15, the clocks in North Korea will go back half an hour. The country will officially enter a new time zone which it itself has created – according to the country's official KCNA news agency, it will be dubbed 'Pyongyang Time.' As with much of what the North Korean state does, the new time zone is being framed as a triumph over imperial history. Pointedly, Pyongyang Time will begin on 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese occupation.

Hillary Gets The Probe

And I hope the finger that probes her is wearing a lineman's glove.

The FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s unsecured e-mail account is not just a fact-finding venture — it’s a criminal probe, sources told The Post on Wednesday.

The feds are investigating to what extent Clinton relied on her home server and other private devices to send and store classified documents, according to a federal source with knowledge of the inquiry.

“It’s definitely a criminal probe,” said the source. “I’m not sure why they’re not calling it a criminal probe.

Don't start a pissing match with a guy who owns twenty thousand urinals.

From the Blaze:

Gawker Published Donald Trump’s Number to Annoy Him — the Next Day, the GOP Candidate Made Sure Their Plan Backfired

A day after Gawker published his personal cellphone number, Donald Trump pulled out a trick of his own to get even.

The billionaire businessman and 2016 Republican presidential candidate tweeted out the number Tuesday to encourage his more than 3 million social media followers to give him a call.

He changed his personal cell phone greeting into a campaign message. Now everyone calling him gets a greeting from the Donald campaigning for himself.

Really...

After an all night binge on beer, pizza and peyote, an Indonesian charity decided to give their "world peace" award to North Korea's Psychopath-in-Chief Kim Jong-un.

Sukarno Education Foundation insists claims of human rights abuse in North Korea are "Western propaganda"

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is no stranger to dubious accolades and has already been crowned Supreme Military Commander, National Defence Chairman and First Secretary of the Worker's Party.

This week, it emerged that Mr Kim is to receive yet another prestigious title - though for once it has not been bestowed by the North Korean state.

All members of the North Korean World Peace Award Committee were executed last month in a sudden outbreak of western propaganda.

Instead he is in line for an international award extolling his "peace, justice and humanity" thanks to an Indonesian charity.

It is the second unusual award to be bestowed upon the North Korean leader, who was crowned TIME magazine's Person of the Year in 2012 after the public vote was hijacked by internet pranksters.

Stay

They Broke It, We Bought It

Retired Army General says the Army is busted:

The Obama administration just announced a 40,000 reduction in the Army’s ranks. But the numbers don’t begin to tell the tale. Soldiers stay in the Army because they love to go into the field and train; Defense Secretary Ash Carter recently said that the Army will not have enough money for most soldiers to train above the squad level this year. Soldiers need to fight with new weapons; in the past four years, the Army has canceled 20 major programs, postponed 125 and restructured 124. The Army will not replace its Reagan-era tanks, infantry carriers, artillery and aircraft for at least a generation. Soldiers stay in the ranks because they serve in a unit ready for combat; fewer than a third of the Army’s combat brigades are combat-ready.

And this initial 40,000-soldier reduction is just a start. Most estimates from Congress anticipate that without lifting the budget sequestration that is driving this across-the-board decline, another 40,000 troops will be gone in about two years.

But it’s soldiers who tell the story. After 13 years of war, young leaders are voting with their feet again. As sergeants and young officers depart, the institution is breaking for a third time in my lifetime. The personal tragedies that attended the collapse of a soldier’s spirit in past wars are with us again. Suicide, family abuse, alcohol and drug abuse are becoming increasingly more common.

My E6 daughter posted this on her FB page.

 I'd say the chances of her re-enlisting are slim and none at this time. She's a good soldier, but she's had just about enough.

Free Ride

Now There's An Idea

Unfortunately our politicians are more interested in drumming up popular outrage over relatively minor offenses than they are in rooting out the deep cancers of political corruption and malfeasance that are tearing this county apart.

I could care less if that stupid dentist tied Cecile's bloody pelt around his naked butt and danced   down Pennsylvania Ave. in a lion skin tutu.

Screw the lion. It's nothing but a distraction. There's other, bigger game afoot.

What we need to do is hang a few of these mayors who think they can shelter criminals who waltz across our borders without so much as a by-your-leave without fear of retribution.

From Breitbart:

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, is calling on mayors of sanctuary cities to be arrested as accomplices to the crimes illegal aliens receiving special treatment in their cities commit.

“Absolutely, I would hold them as an accomplice,” Jindal said on Boston Herald Radio on Monday morning, as reported by BuzzFeed, Jindal said of mayors of sanctuary cities. “Make them criminally culpable. I’d also make them civilly liable so that families, victims’ families could sue. Especially if the prosecutor isn’t taking action or the mayor’s not changing their ways, I’d allow the families to go to court as well to recover damages.”

I'd file lawsuits against their estates before their bodies stopped twitching on the gibbet.
