>> “It is hard to believe that illegal aliens from Mexico, central and South America, have a crime rate *lower* than people who have grown up in the United States.” <<
They most surely do not!

Help me out. I have been looking for the numbers, but they seem rather carefully hidden, or perhaps, carefully not collected.
It is very difficult to break out Hispanic whites from others, for example.
In Texas, the number of Hispanics convicted of murder, is shown as almost exactly the same as non-hispanics.
But black Texans have a high murder rate, and white Texans have a lower rate. But non-Hispanic whites are not separated out. Yet what data we can find shows non-Hispanic whites to have much lower murder rates.
If you can point me at data about illegal immigrant crime rates, I would appreciate it.
