Every day in this country 12 people are murdered in this country by ILLEGAL ALIENS (mostly mexican). If you include those killed in car crashes caused by illegal aliens that number goes up to 25.

Metzenbaum left the senate in 1995 and John Glenn left the senate in 1999. The exchange between the two did happen but in 1974 during a debate.
