most illegal aliens are not child molesters and only want to make a better life for themselves and their families.

Partly true. But look at the stats. 27% of US prisoners (all types of crimes--robbery, sex crimes, murder, drug related, etc.) are illegals, and that number increases to nearly 50% in California.

If we had controlled immigration, we could reduce those numbers significantly by prohibiting the free-flow across the border.

And many articles about crimes being committed by illegals have a further comment -- the perp had committed other crimes in the US, and some had even been deported, only to return and commit new crimes.

I agree - massive increases in LEGAL immigration will free up Border Patrol and other law enforcement to focus on said REAL criminals.
