Illegal Immigrants Commit 20% of Aggravated DUIs, but make up only 9% of the Population

[Gonzalosalcedo09]

JDubsMom thank you for the great statistics.
Like everyone else has said there is no way we can expect them to obey and follow our laws.
Its funny how all the pro-illegal people have something to say on everything except for hard statistics that show that they are all nothing more than a virus.

the worst part is that in one generation it will no longer be statistics of illegal immigrants, but their children, who will be citizens. I fear for my children.

Let's change the law, lets get rid of anchor babies
please

Contrary to media myths, illegal immigrants commit more felonies than the rest of the population on average. Even when crimes that may be related to smuggling are taken out of the equation, illegal immigrants still commit most felonies at higher rates. Illegal immigrants make up 9% of the population in Arizona, but are sentenced to 20.3% of all felony DUIs.

Illegal immigrants are sentenced for 10.3% of sex crimes, 13.1% of auto thefts, and 12.6% of all thefts including shoplifting. In crimes that might be related to illegal entry, illegal immigrants account for 35.8% of sentences for kidnapping, 85.3% of sentences for criminal impersonation/false ID, and 50% of sentences for chop shops.

Overall, 16.5% of violent crimes can be linked to illegal immigrants. The average cost for each offense? A whopping $20,000, which includes prosecution, incarceration, and other costs. 18.5% of property crimes are due to illegal immigrants.

The GAO studied 55,000 illegal immigrants and found that on average, each had been arrested for 13 offenses. 80% of the arrests occurred in California, Arizona, and Texas. It costs $61.74 per day to house a prison inmate in Arizona. Combine that enormous cost with Arizona’s tax and spend governor Janet Napolitano, and it comes as no surprise that Arizona’s economy is suffering and facing a $2 billion dollar deficit.

Those numbers would be telling except the only stats that are documented are the felonys stats. If you honestly think that every illegal immigrant is going to tell a government census worker that they are here illegally then you need to take a trip to mexico and understand the culture better. It is documented that 9% of the Pop in AZ is illegal immigrants but even if 1 out of 2 tell the census workers that they are illegal then that means 18% of the pop in Az are illegal immigrants. I married into a Mexican family and one out of 5 of the older folks in my family has a false ID and are counted in the census as US citizens...the younger ones are born here but if 15-18% of the pop is here illegally than that means they commit felonies at the SAME rate as US citizens...stop trying to lay the balme on the immigrants. The reality is that human beings are by nature bad and selfish and we just dont want to share what we have. That is the bootom line of every argument against any pro-immgrant policies. It always ends with " but It will effect me..."

Take heart, everyone....better days are coming. With our huge push toward multiculturalism, where 'bad' isn't REALLY bad (just different) and nobody's lifestyle is 'worse' than anyone else's (just more colorful), the day may soon be here when ILLEGALS make up 20% of the population....but commit only 9% of the Aggravated DUI's

As we steadily 'get more like them'....and they 'get more like us', it COULD happen..... (Who KNOWS?..someday, maybe Americans will go back to work, doing the jobs the ILLEGALS don't want)...ANYTHING is possible, I suppose..

All the more reason we need sherrif Joe in every county in America!

It's time for our politicians to stop putting the buck in front of what's right..
it's time to fix the 14th amendment, and it's time to ship these paracites
back where they came from!

There is no reason that we need illegal aliens here in the USA period--------Hispanic or not.

They by definition are criminals and we have plenty of US citizen trash already.

As for Mexico: it needs to grow up--------we owe that place nothing.
