Sure puts a hole in the liberal bs that illegals are honest people.
Quote:
Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan said that 89 percent of all illegal immigrants arrested have a criminal record. “That’s nine out of 10,” he said.

And 72 percent of those arrested had criminal convictions, said Homan, who is retiring from his post soon.

No. Apparently you're not very good on language or logic or statistics.

That doesn't prove anything about immigrants generally being honest or dishonest. All it proves is that illegals committing crimes are likely to have done so before.

That is not the same thing at all.

Makes sense to me. After all, he was referring to illegal aliens NOT all immigrants as the media would have you believe.

Just to reiterate: That's a high percentage of those arrested. No arguing with statistics (unless someone calls it "fake news," which it is NOT.). They just want to come here for a better life!! LOL.

Don't talk about that. The Illegal Aliens are what the Liberal Democrat "Walking Dead" brain dead nuts are wanting for their voter base, so they can make us a Communist Nation with Fascist Police State Law, no Constitution and no Bill of Rights.

9 out of 10? If anything, President Trump has used wording too kind over the past several years regarding illegals.

Um, I think you should stop and think about what % of US citizens that are arrested have a criminal record.
Keeping in mind that most people go their whole life without being arrested.

I would not be surprised if it's close to 90% as well.

I have a hard time finding such a specific stat but I did find the US state prison recidivism rate is 75%.

Basically, criminals keep committing crimes so most that get arrested already have a record, that's common sense.

The evening news has guys like this on all the time...41 years old, long police record going back to his teens.

The problem is that we have more than enough of our own, we do not need to import or accept any who come into our country illegally or overstay.

Not the point of the thread.

The statistic is being presented as if it's meaningful but it seems to be the norm for "career criminals".

The point of the thread "Sure puts a hole in the liberal bs that illegals are honest people" so it was about illegals and crime, not citizens, thus my post is right on.
