"According to ICE statistics published in ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Report, in the Fiscal Year 2018 here page 4) (from October 2017 to September 2018) there were 2,028 total offenses for homicide (387 criminal charges 1641 for criminal convictions) committed by aliens in the U.S."

Why did you leave this part out??
According to ICE statistics published in ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Report, in the Fiscal Year 2018 here page 4) (from October 2017 to September 2018) there were 2,028 total offenses for homicide (387 criminal charges 1641 for criminal convictions) committed by aliens in the U.S. The IRS defines aliens as any person who is not a U.S. national (which would include legal and illegal immigrants. The number is even lower for the Fiscal Year 2019 here page 15) with 1,923 total offenses for homicide (374 criminal charges and 1,549 criminal convictions). The Fiscal Year 2018 data was the closest we could find to match the claim of murders “in 2018”. Reuters was unable to find official government data on U.S. homicide statistics committed by illegal immigrants for the calendar year 2018.

Yeah, I'll take 'comments that should have people rioting, but somehow don't' for 420, Alex.

Santorum is just saying the quiet part loud, nobody is going to riot because they support native rights.

i'm real tired of this idiom, you cargo cult.

That Santorum quote isn’t controversial. Do you guys want the French to give back the land to the celts ? Civilizations rise and fall. Get over it

Also, it seems illegals don’t murder 2,000 every year. Very duplicitous use of statistics there Sioux, shameful shit

Rick Santorum: "We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes we have Native Americans but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture."

That dude's been saying idiotic things as long as he's been around. Least he's consistent? Even beyond the indians who were here, there were many decades' worth of colonial development before our ancestors "birthed" the United States so that comment's silly regardless of how it's interpreted. It's ignorant, besides, given the significant amount of indian loanwords and whatnot in our language.

Riots seem a bit harsh for that sort of foot-in-mouth comment, though. Point and laugh seems more appropriate.

I left it out because it’s irrelevant. If cops were killing 2,000 people a year imagine the response. Immigrants of various classifications kill 2,000 a year. Is that not concerning? If not, why?

You can make up lots and lots of lies when you start playing games with group statistics

I should not have said illegal immigrants, really the meaningful stat is around immigrants. It's very odd that we don't have stats on illegal immigrants, it makes me think that it's likely due to most of that 2,000 is from illegals. If it was less then I think there would be a distinction.

It’s concerning, but immigrants are what, 40-50 million in number? You’re speaking to an issue that concerns human nature more broadly than a narrow political point, like Texas’ energy grid failing.
