Among other findings in the report, non-citizen men from Mexico 18 to 40 -- a group disproportionately likely to have entered the United States illegally -- are more than eight times less likely than U.S.-born men in the same age group to be in a correctional institution (0.48 percent vs. 4.2 percent).

The real facts are starting to come out.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that's not true, we have illegal criminal aliens in this country.

First of all, there are many many towns in this country who don't even ask someone if they are in the USA illegally when they arrest someone, in Los Angeles, the police aren't allowed to ask someone their immigration status. There are thousands in jails in California alone who are in the USA illegally and they simply jail them and don't deport because you can't ask someone what their immigration status is. Nobody is taking the numbers.

Go through the jails in Los Angeles and you'll get an eye opener.

Have you gone through all the jails in L.A? Btw, this was a study not an opinion or theory like you just provided.

And there are several sources that state 28% of inmates in CA prisons are non-citizens, 95% of murder warrants in LA are for illegals, and the majority of the top ten most wanted in LA are illegals. Doesn't really jive with your yahoo study, aka "the real facts", now does it?

I am reading this report in PDF form, called, "Crime, Corrections and California: What Does Immigration have to do with it" written by the Public Policy Institute of California, and at the bottom of page 3, the very last paragraph in the last sentence, I'll quote.

"As with most studies, we do not have ideal data. This lack of data restricts the questions we will be able to answer. In particular we cannot focus on the undocumented population explicitly."

http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/cac...CC_208KBCC.pdf

This is a direct quote, the very last paragraph on page 3 of this report which is found in the link above.

LIKE I SAID, THEY DO NOT GATHER DATA ON UNDOCUMENTED ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO COMMIT CRIMES, THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE.

How about this. If even 1 illegal commits a crime its too many. How about they are criminals by default because they entered ( illegally) to start with.
How about they are criminals due to identity theft, tax evasion and commiting fraud.

As tinman01 stated.

We have 'enough' legal neer do wells on hand as it is-------we certainly do not need the illegal variety on top of the above as well.

More dribble. How do you find this crap? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the number of crimes committed across the US every day by illegals. Heck, just being here illegally is the first crime. And......in case you hadn't noticed. Many, if not most, have not even been asking legal status in this country which is the first problem. I watched a documentary last fall which said at least 10,000 US citizens died at the hands of illegals last year alone. Why on earth do you continue to defend these lawbreakers? Are you one of them????

Los Angeles Ten Most Wanted:

Not a Caucasian or Black American among them...

Top Ten Most Wanted - official website of THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT

Yep, look at all of those "Americans" committing crime in L.A.
