I don't disagree with the conclusion of the posted article, that there is a lot of crime going on near the Mexican border, and the illegal invasion is a major factor.

But blanket comparisons of federal judicial districts on crime statistics are difficult to interpret because of because these districts are hardly created equal. They vary widely in population, demographics, terrain, rural vs. urban, the mindset of the chief US Attorney of each district and the size and mindset of his/her staff, the kinds of crime that they like to prosecute and the kinds of crime that they'd rather not.

BTW, Rush Limbaugh went into the posted article in some length on his show today.

“23,387 were found guilty of drug offenses. 12,617 were found guilty of violent crime.” According to this study.

Last night Humanity brought up these stats ( quoted from Perry last year.”

““Sean, there have been over the course of the last five years, since the fall of ’08, over 203,000 individuals who have come into Texas illegally who have been booked into our county jails. Those individuals have accounted for over 3,000 homicides and over 8,000 sexual assaults. We can’t afford to wait for Washington to secure this border. We’ve had enough.”

3,000 homicides and over 8,000 sexual assaults just in Texas!
