It is true that illegal hispanics are very underrepresented in gangs, and in prison, it seems that they came here to work, and are doing that, with little spare time for killing, maiming, robbing.

Always the baiter you are California Sur...

Try thinking without the color of your skin shading your eyes...

I dare you.




...he he... Actually, I find the most enlightening "factoid" to be that most on this board are constantly reminded of your ethnicity (by you), and yet few others feel compelled to enlighten you of their ethnic make up... Me thinks the lady doth protest too much...

Me thinks you are unable to post anything but beyond provocation and when questioned about your statements you resort to name-calling and conveniently attempt to change the subject. If you can't justify your statements don't be frightened that you will be confronted. Basic high school social science explores root causes of behavior. If that is too much for you than maybe you ought to stay clear of anything that challenges your intellect. Comprende amigo?

I have to admire the chutzpah of those who ask about source. If a person posts a fact, he likely found it the same place the person who asks for source would find it, and in the same why.

Of course, I never did my children's homework for them either.

Their kids, on the other hand, have plenty of time for killing, maiming, and robbing while their parents are working double shifts at the car wash.

Rawrrr, phit, phit, rawrr...

Someone awoke on the wrong side of the bed, eh?


I only pointed out that the number of LATINOS on California's "Most Wanted Fugitive List" is too high statistically, given the percentage of reported Latinos and Hispanics in the state of California.

...I, uh, supported that with statistics from the US Census Bureau

YOU may take that however you wish, Baiter-boy.

Frightened... he he he. Baiter-boy, Baiter-boy, you are a funny person.

Actually, I only ask for data because I have made a concerted effort to find it myself. It is not readily available. Its actually strange as origin/nationality of those in jail and prison should be completely transparent.

Me thinks you make assumptions... and you know what they say about making assumptions...

Indeed, among men ages 18 to 40 — the demographic most likely to be imprisoned — those born in the U.S. were 10 times more likely than foreign-born men to be incarcerated."
