The impact of illegal aliens on crime rates

Using newly released detailed data on all prisoners who entered the Arizona state prison from January 1985 through June 2017, we are able to separate non-U.S. citizens by whether they are illegal or legal residents. This data do not rely on self-reporting by criminals. Undocumented immigrants are at least 142% more likely to be convicted of a crime than other Arizonans.

Any, and all, crime committed by illegals would not have happened..if they were not here in the first place.

Illegals are a walking, breathing manifestation of the Broken Window Phenomenon.

We see them at construction and landscaping sites. We see them jabbering away in Spanish at the supermarket and the mall. We see them stacked up like cordwood, living in cramped housing but nevertheless sending a long conga line of offspring to the bus stop in the morning as they flood into a public school system to which they contribute nothing. Their properties are generally in poor nick with junk vehicles and generic, easily-sold white vans parked chockablock on driveways, in streets, even on lawns.

Human decency and altruism usually prevents us from expressing disgust, disapproval or outright opposition but as with broken windows in a big-city street, the establishment and growth of Third World conditions in previously livable suburban areas is a very visible symbol of lax policing/enforcement and a violation of the social contract between (legal) citizens and government.

If you added a peaked roof to cover your BBQ pit without obtaining a building permit you can set your watch according to the time required for a ‘code enforcement officer’ to speed to your residence to wag his finger or write a citation. Meanwhile, illegals occupy buildings clearly unfit for habitation especially when 10-12 or more are under one roof with no fear whatsoever of governmental intervention.

They come from sh*tholes and make sh*tholes out of the communities they settle in, here. Great!

Must be why so many of them move here to Ca they don’t get convicted.

That, and food trucks all over the place and mobile garage sales on city sidewalks ... just like back home.

I live in Los Angeles and the trashiness of this city, now that laws against third-world ways are not enforced, has exploded. That, and homeless tents all over the place.

And before anyone spouts off that the homeless have no choice, I transcribe court hearings in which homeless are being prosecuted for encroachment (on sidewalks) and illegal structures (tents on public property).

The cops have designated teams now as part of the force to go out and get the homeless to take advantage of the various shelters. Bottom line - the homeless don't want to. They don't want the restrictions (don't bring your dog, must contribute i.e. chores in the facility, no drugs, etc.).

The homeless HAVE options and they don't want them.

We ALL have had to make sacrifices to get that apartment we wanted, or to remain at home with our annoying parents, or to rent a home. No pets, no smoking, whatever. We all did it. But somehow requiring the homeless to abide by any rules at all is restrictive and discriminatory.
