She literally fucked around and found out. Plain and simple. She thought it was a far and got fucking shot. Again, plain and simple. She knew exactly what the fuck she was doing…

This is really sickening.

Obama's "deportations" included a fair amount of deportations that occurred at the border. Those deportations were 'turn around and go back over the border.'

Somebody in the Biden administration decided to parole the border crossers into the country.
Sanctuary cities protect the illegal border crossers and the violent criminals. It's a conscious effort to protect these individuals under the guise of 'they're our neighbors.'

Immigration agents are then required to go into the communities to find these people. Sanctuary cities oppose these efforts, demand that local police not cooperate with immigration enforcement and the result can be chaos. Searching communities for the targeted individuals then results in non-targeted illegal aliens being detained and activists being arrested.

Minneapolis has streets blocked off, businesses closed down and schools closed down. Schools that remain open have allowed students to leave the schools to support and join the protests.
Math and reading scores have plummeted in recent years and the fucking Governor, who ran on education, has shown no ability to enforce law and order.
The same happened a few short years ago.

The Saint Paul Federation of Educators has called for a day of protest against ICE. They could have called for a mass campaign, involving the students, directed at lawmakers. Government is tasked with creating laws and enforcing laws.
Instead of educating the students with civics lessons they're promoting activism.

The father of Katie Abraham wants to know why her name is never mentioned while the name of a woman blocking traffic and blocking law enforcement activities is shouted across the country.

Very few Democrats would stand when Trump addressed Congress and honored the families of victims of illegal immigrants.
Very few.

Democrats now expect everyone to rise up angry.

When and where were Renee and Becca Good married

Renee Nicole Good (also referred to as Renee Nicole Macklin Good) and Becca (or Rebecca) Good were in a committed partnership and often described as spouses or wife/widow in media coverage and Becca's own statements following Renee's death on January 7, 2026. However, there is no evidence of a legal marriage between them—no marriage certificate, license, or wedding date has been found in public records from relevant states (such as Missouri, where they previously lived in Kansas City, or Minnesota, where they resided at the time).Key details from reporting and records:Renee legally changed her last name to "Good" in 2023 in Missouri (Jackson County) specifically to share the same surname as her "partner," Rebecca Good. This is documented in court petitions and cited in multiple sources as the reason for the name change, rather than a marriage.
Missouri does not recognize common-law marriage, and no marriage records exist in searches of vital records or relevant jurisdictions.
Becca referred to Renee as her "wife" in public statements (e.g., to Minnesota Public Radio and others), and many news outlets initially described them as married. However, this appears to be an informal or emotional description of their relationship rather than a legal one.
,,,,,,,,,the family's own attorney has described them as "not legally married but... committed partners dedicated to their family."

AI Overview

There is no reliable national data that specifically tracks the total number of U.S. citizens killed annually by undocumented immigrants. The data that is available, primarily from state-level studies (mostly Texas), consistently shows that undocumented immigrants have lower homicide arrest and conviction rates than native-born U.S. citizens.

Key Findings from Research

*Data Scarcity: U.S. government agencies, including the FBI, do not track crime data by a person's immigration status on a national level, making a precise national estimate impossible to determine.

*Lower Crime Rates: Multiple academic studies and analyses by think tanks, such as the Cato Institute and the American Immigration Council, conclude that immigrants, including those who are undocumented, commit crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans.

*Texas-Specific Data: The most detailed data comes from Texas, the only state that systematically tracks the immigration status of individuals in its justice system. A 2024 Cato Institute analysis of Texas data from 2013 to 2022 found:

-The homicide conviction rate for undocumented immigrants was 2.2 per 100,000 people.

-The homicide conviction rate for native-born Americans was 3.0 per 100,000 people.
Undocumented immigrants were 26% less likely to be convicted of homicide than native-born Americans.

Unsubstantiated Claims: Claims found on social media that suggest thousands of Americans are killed annually by undocumented immigrants are not supported by any evidence and have been widely debunked by fact-checkers and experts.

The Biden administration broke any reliance on the statistics that were obtained from when immigration control year over year was done in a completely different manner.

While anecdotes of violent crime often dominate political discourse, there is significant anecdotal and data-driven evidence of positive contributions by undocumented immigrants. These contributions generally fall into economic, professional, and community service categories.

Economic and Workforce Contributions
Undocumented immigrants are often cited as the backbone of several critical U.S. industries, filling roles that have chronic labor shortages.

*Essential Labor: An estimated 74% of undocumented workers hold "essential" roles as defined by the federal government, including 50% of all hired field and crop workers and 1-in-7 construction workers.

*Tax Contributions: Despite being ineligible for most benefits, undocumented households paid approximately $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. Many pay into Social Security and Medicare—estimated at $25.7 billion and $6.4 billion respectively in 2022—without the ability to ever collect those funds.

*Entrepreneurship: There are over 1.1 million undocumented entrepreneurs in the U.S. who start small businesses, such as grocery stores and dry cleaners, that employ both immigrants and U.S. citizens.

Professional Achievement and Innovation

Individual stories highlight undocumented immigrants who have reached the highest levels of American professional life:

"Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa: Entered the U.S. as an undocumented farm laborer and eventually became the Chair of Neurologic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic and a world-renowned brain cancer researcher.

*Jose Antonio Vargas: A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who revealed his undocumented status in a 2011 New York Times essay to advocate for immigrant rights.

*Dan-el Padilla Peralta: Formerly an undocumented boy in the NYC shelter system, he became a salutatorian at Princeton and is now a leading scholar in classics.

Community Impact

Many undocumented immigrants serve their local communities in ways that are often overlooked due to their "shadow" status:

*Mentorship: Anecdotes include individuals like "Hugo," an undocumented server who spent his spare time mentoring at-risk youth, and others who serve as peer mentors for students at universities like UC Irvine.

*Non-Profit Work: Some undocumented individuals work for organizations such as The Mission Continues, helping U.S. veterans reintegrate into society.

Context on Crime Rates

While anecdotal crimes are frequently cited, multiple studies from 2025 and 2026—including data from the Cato Institute—indicate that undocumented immigrants generally have lower incarceration and homicide conviction rates than native-born U.S. citizens. Researchers suggest this is partly because undocumented individuals actively avoid drawing police attention to prevent deportation.

You mean you don't like the numbers, so you want to rely on anecdotal evidence; which is notoriously inaccurate and abused by bigots to scapegoat.

At the end of the day, crimes are committed by individuals, not by groups.
