It is about as current as you can get. Steve King pushed for this study. Coincidentally, King and Pete Sessions have asked for an update today.

U.S. Reps. Steve King (R-IA 4) and Pete Sessions (R-TX) released the following statement Thursday regarding their recent letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) requesting an update to King’s 2005 and 2011 studies on crimes committed by criminal aliens.

Chavez has contracted a terminal case of the dreaded “Geraldo Rivera” disease.

Those infected with this disease lose any ability to make sound, fact based judgements when the issue of illegal immigration arises.

What is your malfunction, maggot?

I posted it in the other thread because I saw that first, then I realized I would get more immediate assistance posting my own thread.

Do me a favor, read my hundreds of posts over the last 1.3 decades, especially in 2004 and then get back to me on your absurd accusations.

Feel free to go over to Americanthinker.com and read the posting history of “ReadandAble” too.

Spare “us?” No, I think not. You are a lone person in your ignorance concerning my views and motives.

But what you have shown is that you are clearly too dimwitted to have any valuable discussion with on Freerepublic or anywhere else.

I honestly wasn’t even familiar with this Chavez woman before the bs NR content I saw on here the other day.

I’m not sure what this other guy ncalburt’s problem is (or where his brain went) but I just wanted some good backing to refute her stats, which I got in spades here.

Sheesh, with all the trolls I have to put up with on a daily basis I am pretty damn hot and offended that he would interpret my posts and requests as anything even remotely close to trolling or not supporting Trump’s statements. Which I do.

Gah!

When I looked at that, I saw mostly white females...especially that white male who hangs with the Mexican Mafia

Don’t they know “you are what you fee like you are”?

Texans are so behind the times

Do they even do that? Seems like even after murders they stick around after they get let out of their prison term.

Despicable.

..But what about Trump’s contention that Mexico is sending us criminals and rapists? In fact, the very opposite is true. Mexican immigrants, legal and illegal, like all immigrants, have lower rates of criminal behavior than the native born...

...As for incarceration rates, immigrant men ages 18 to 39 are less than half as likely to be incarcerated than native-born men the same age, according to the Ewing study.

Mexican men are even less likely to be incarcerated: Their rates are one-third that of natives with similar demographic characteristics.

And Salvadoran and Guatemalan men are incarcerated at one-fifth the rate of native-born men without a high school degree — the group most likely to commit violent crimes....


Uh, Mrs. Chavez...in case you're wondering what is wrong with the poor argument you have offered, I'll clue you in: The vast majority of the crimes are being committed by illegal aliens who ARE NOT incarcerated.

Consequently, the incarceration rates of Mexicans, Salvadorans and Nicaraguans is of absolutely no moment whatsoever in this discussion.

Any time you need clarification on fine logical points such as these, please feel free to call upon Milton Miteybad.

The entire point of what Chavez is saying is idiotic. Her Premise stinks to high Heaven and she hasn’t a Clue.

If the Illegal Invaders were not here in the first place, Lives would have been saved, Prisons would be less crowded and the Taxpayers of this Country would be saving Billions of Dollars in Giveaways.

Is this Rocket Science? Comparing Crimes committed by Legal Americans versus the Illegal Invaders is like comparing Apples and Oranges. There is no correlation, the Illegal Invaders aren’t even supposed to be here, period.

Any resource taken away from Law Enforcement to go after Illegals Invaders could have been used to prevent crimes committed by Obama’s Fantasy Sons, I mean Americans.

I agree. One they have broke the law crossing the Mexican border illegally, their lawlessness does not stop. I wonder if any of our fine Freepers have and hard data on what their level of criminal activity is. I heard Ann Coulter say that she had a hard time finding the figures. I wonder if anyone has run across any good numbers.

By virtue of being in the country ILLEGALLY, by definition, 100% have committed a crime. And incarceration rates in federal prisons paints a much different picture.

You do not have to read many words before you get to an unsupported assertion. Mexico indeed is sending us criminals and rapists! That fact is unarguable! What psycho-babble is this lady trying to tell us?

Mexico does NOT have open borders. But does Mexico even know who is who among those crossing into the USA? Why would Mexico, or any country for that matter, not want to get rid of its criminals? What is the role of the drug cartels at the border?

Right off the bat Chavez sweeps away the illegal status of those under discussion, which leads one to question all of the statistics mentioned.

Chavez has been a closet member of La Raza for a long time.

Every one that crosses the border is a criminal — after all, it is ILLEGAL immigration.
