Thirty thousand schizophrenics...

[Denis Franklin, MD]

September 27, 2022

A thought occurred to me this morning as I watched the news that sent me to the national health statistics in search of a number.

Within the past two days I've seen three accounts of attacks that made me, a retired state hospital forensic psychiatrist, strongly suspect the attacker was schizophrenic.  One, in Medscape magazine, was a report of a clinic nurse stabbed several times in the face by a mental patient with a knife.  In the second case, a local homeless man attempted to rob a woman in a Goleta parking lot using a knife, then fled into Home Depot where he was found hiding by police.  The third was a horrific physical assault on a 33-year-old woman in a NYC subway station.  The man was a mental health patient and the woman had apparently ignored him when he tried to get her attention as she hurried to her job at the airport.  He punched her, threw her to the ground and kicked her in the head repeatedly as she lay on the ground, then he stole her purse.  She may lose an eye.  He could not have failed to inflict serious brain damage.

The man was on parole for a previous attack and reportedly killed his grandmother when he was fourteen.

So here is the number I looked up.   During the past year alone, Joe Biden and his administration have intentionally and with malice aforethougt imported 2.2 million illegal immigrants PLUS 800,000 "gottaways" into our country.  At the current incidence of schizophrenia in the population, that number will have included thirty-thousand schizophrenics.  This past year alone.  That nearly matches the thirty-eight thousand schizophrenics born in the US annually, doubling the total for last year.

I'm on your side, Denis.  I've heard the other side say that it is all right because the % of risky immigrants is less than the % of risky non-immigrant people. 

So it lowers your overall risk, they say.  Maybe, but it would still raise the (non-%) number of crimes, which is unacceptable to me.  Basic statistics.
