58,766 in federal jails are 'known or suspected' illegals, 31% of all prisoners
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/22/17 | Paul Bedard

More than three of every 10 prisoners held in federal jails are “known or suspected” illegal immigrants, a number that has shocked the administration into pushing harder for immigration reform.

New Justice Department numbers reported that 58,766 held by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the U.S. Marshals Service are “known or suspected” illegals. Of that, the government has confirmed that 37,557 are in the U.S. illegally. The rest fall into the “suspected” category.

Overall, there are 185,507 federal prisoners.

In releasing the data, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that the administration has been targeting illegals at the border and inside the country because they are disproportionately involved in crime, especially drug crime.

“Nearly 95 percent of confirmed aliens in our federal prisons are here illegally. We know based on sentencing data that non-citizens commit a substantially disproportionate number of drug-related offenses, which contributes to our national drug abuse crisis,” said Sessions.

Good. Work has been known to be rehabilitative. A win win.

about a decade ago there were reports that at least 25% of people incarcerated in USofA were illegal so this is not new news, just an increase in amount of them.

They do not think or want the values of Americans, because they are not Americans and don’t want to be, so they come here and do as they please, committing larger percentage of crime then bleeding hearts would want you to believe of these helpless good people we just must give all sorts of resources and helps to even 3 squares and housing in prison//s

“A new Department of Justice report released Thursday reveals 20 percent of federally incarcerated individuals in the United States are illegal aliens, costing taxpayers $1.5 million per day. Many of these individuals committed serious and violent crimes, in additional to entering the country illegally.

It takes years of costly litigation to put a felon to death... the best thing to do is send these criminals to Mexican Prisons AND send the Mexican Government a bill for what’s it’s cost us to house their criminals.

Save money and trouble. Deport these illegals. It’s not like they have to be rounded up. They’re already corralled. Just ship them back to their homeland.

Send a bill for their care... let these damn hellhole governments pay us back for what it cost us to keep them in prison and pay for their lawyers and court costs.
