Then in 2010 my son Drew, in his second year of law school, was run over three times and killed by an illegal-alien driver in the sanctuary city of San Francisco.

As I looked for answers, I realized how indifferent our nation’s public officials are to the dangers of illegal alien crime. I wanted to protect other American families from going through what my family has, and so I became an anti-illegal immigration activist.

Routinely, the media unskeptically regurgitates the talking points of open-borders advocates and tells the public there’s a “scholarly consensus” that illegal aliens commit criminal offenses at a lower rate than citizens. This never seemed plausible. Most illegal aliens have few skills and education. On average, low-skilled and poorly educated people commit more crime. And of course, illegal aliens are here in the first place because they don’t respect our laws.
