Immigrants commit crime in this country at a rate of up to 2.5x LESS than natural born citizens. There are multiple studies on this by independent research organizations and universities. Several studies are linked in the article below.

You have a history of almost entirely racially oriented posts. Why?

Whatever the OP is trying to imply, I don't think there is any sort of overall correlation between immigration and overall high crime levels. That having been written, it always seemed to me that property crime tends to be worse in and near the actual barrios. But by the same token violent crime is on par or even less for the respective economic strata.

The only thing "immigrant-like" about the name Adrian Jerry Gonzalez is his surname. I doubt his parents are recent immigrants and have probably lived here forever.

Immigrants are responsible for all crimes. Just ask the Donald. [/sarcasm]

I suppose it's possible to be more bigoted than the OP, but I'm not sure how

Illegal aliens aren't immigrants and immigrants aren't illegal aliens just so there is no confusion here.

I call trolling on this. You have a history of posting threads in trying to put Mexicans in a badlight. If you don't like Mexicans, get some balls and admit it.

Violent and Property Crime Rates Fell as the Undocumented Population Doubled in Size
  • Although the undocumented immigrant population doubled to about 12 million from 1994 to 2005, the violent crime rate in the United States declined by 34.2% and the property crime rate fell by 26.4%. This decline in crime rates was not just national, it also occurred in border cities and other cities with large immigrant populations—such as San Diego, El Paso, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami.
  • The decline in crime rates was due in part to the success of new crime-fighting strategies such as community policing that have helped to build cooperative relationships between police and their communities. In immigrant communities, the success of these cooperative approaches to law enforcement depends on the willingness of crime victims and witnesses to come forward to the police regardless of their legal status or the legal status of their family members.
Immigrants are Five Times Less Likely than the Native-Born to be in Prison
  • In 2000, among men age 18-39 (who comprise the vast majority of the U.S. prison population), the incarceration rate for the native-born (3.5%) was five times higher than the rate for immigrants (0.7%).
  • In California, the state with the greatest number of both undocumented and legal immigrants, the incarceration rate for native-born men age 18-39 (4.5%) was more than 11 times the rate for immigrants (0.4%).
Immigrants from Nations that Account for Most of the Undocumented Have Lower Incarceration Rates than the Native-Born
  • The incarceration rate also is lower for the immigrants from Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala who account for the majority of undocumented immigrants in the United States and who tend to have low levels of education. In 2000, 0.7% of foreign-born Mexican men and 0.5% of foreign-born Salvadoran and Guatemalan men were in prison.
  • Similarly, 0.7% of foreign-born Mexican men without a high-school diploma and 0.6% of foreign-born Salvadoran and Guatemalan men without a high-school diploma were behind bars in 2000.
Focusing on the Immigrant Share of Inmates in Federal Prison Distorts the Real Story
  • In stereotyping immigrants as criminals, some anti-immigrant activists have pointed to estimates by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) that one quarter of all federal prisoners in the United States are “criminal aliens.” However, these estimates are highly misleading for two reasons:
  • Only about 8% of the 2.2 million persons behind bars in the United States at the end of 2005 were in federal prisons. The majority of inmates are in state prisons (57%) or local jails (34%).
  • Undocumented immigrants are likely to be transferred into the much smaller federal prison system simply on the basis of their immigration status even if they have not committed a criminal offense, or have committed an offense that is relatively minor.

What do you think?
Who says the 15 year old boy from Santa Cruz is an immigrant just because his last name is Gonzalez? His family could've been in this country longer than your's for all you know. I grew up with lots of Gonzalezes, Hernandezes, Martinezes, etc. and many of them were 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Americans.
