Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Infowars, etc. ? Jem, these folks are all talking nonsense. But they are masters at making whatever they are saying sound legit. We have to question everything that does not seem reasonable. Is it reasonable that 20% of the prisoners for crimes other than immigration violations are illegal immigrants? No, of course not.
If it wasn't for illegals that Stoneridge you call a country club would be a goat hill.. should have been bulldozed years ago.. waste of prime R.E. Time for you to wise up.
AGAIN, it's not an IF, immigration violations were counted as a 'CRIMINAL' act according to your own link. You can't be this stupid even for a Con.
So I guess to be completely accurate and truthful the title should read, All Illegal Aliens Are Criminals. What's not true about that statement ?
If that's the standard being used, why compare it to criminal records of citizens since there cannot be a proper comparison? Isn't that disingenuous?
I'm not talking about the study, I'm referring to the fact that Illegal Entry into this country is a Federal crime, period. A fact that seems to be ignored by the left.
Again - IF that's the standard for crimes then what is the point of comparing it to residents by saying 'more than' or 'less than'??? Period. PS: We are talking about the study here which is a farce.
It's not the standard, it's a fact. All Illegal Alliens are Criminals per the US Code. Title 8, Chapter 12.... Can you admit that? If you really want to fix the problem, start there.
Here is the actual federal report... Alien Incarceration Report Fiscal Year 2017, Quarter 4 https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Alien_Incarceration_Report_OIS_FY17_Q4_2.pdf
Here is information from CATO on the subject... New Report on Illegal Immigrant Criminality Reveals Little & Admits Its Own Shortcomings By Alex Nowrasteh https://www.cato.org/blog/new-repor...ty-reveals-little-admits-its-own-shortcomings The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) today released a report that found that about 94 percent of foreign-born inmates in Federal prisons are illegal immigrants. That is not surprising, as illegal immigrants convicted of an immigration offense are incarcerated in federal prison and account 7.3 percent of all inmates. Likewise, drug traffickers who cross international borders are also in federal prison and account 46.3 percent of all prisoners. Thus, illegal immigrants are overrepresented in federal prison because the federal government enforces immigration laws and many drug trafficking laws but only a small fraction of all those incarcerated for all crimes committed in the U.S. are in federal prisons. The authors of this DHS/DOJ report do deserve credit for highlighting its shortcomings. On the first page, it states: This report does not include data on the foreign-born or alien populations in state prisons and local jails because state and local facilities do not routinely provide DHS or DOJ with comprehensive information about their inmates and detainees. This limitation is noteworthy because state and local facilities account for approximately 90 percent of the total U.S. incarcerated population. The federal prison population is not representative of incarcerated populations on the state and local level, so excluding them from the report means that it sheds little light on nationwide incarcerations by nativity, legal status, or type of crime. On the last point, it is shocking how unrepresentative federal prison is regarding the types of crimes its inmates are convicted of. In 2016, 67,742 people were sentenced to federal prison. Almost 30 percent of them were for immigration offenses. Those immigration convictions comprised 100 percent of the convictions for immigration crimes in the United States in 2016. By contrast, there were only 85 federal convictions for murder out of a nationwide total of 17,785 murder convictions that year, comprising less than 0.5 percent of all murders. If Garcia Zarate had actually been convicted of murdering Kate Steinle, then he would have been incarcerated in California state prison and he would not show up as an illegal immigrant murderer in this DHS/DOJ report. What good is a federal report on illegal immigrant incarceration rates if it would have excluded Kate Steinle’s killer had he been convicted? (More at above url)
