Lowering crime rates as a rational for deporting all of the illegal immigrants is, if you excuse my bluntness, one of the dumbest rationals I've heard yet. The only reason why crime would go down is because you're suddenly getting rid of as high as ten percent of the entire bloody population.
Associating these kinds of crimes specifically to the illegal immigrant population is an illogical fallacy, and is a completely illogical rational for deporting them. This is almost like saying that we should deport all black people back to Africa simply because crime rates are higher within the black community.
This is why Bill O'Reily was a complete moron in his presentation. He associated the death of these people with the fact that the person was an illegal alien, not someone driving under the influence. He even had on his banner thing at the bottom of his screen something of the sort that "two people killed by illegal alien".
