This article by this woman and her facts are directly at odds with Rush's and others' that I respect claims that Trump has very solid figures behind his statements. Of course, I'm inclined to believe them over someone named Chavez who has associations in the past with La Raza, but it is strange the Post and also National Review are giving her post time.
I was hoping someone with a better understanding of the true stats than I could let me know why Chavez is full of it with this post.
Also, I am saddened that the Post, usually reliably conservative around here, would let her push this falsehood on the front page of their online site.
Just for laughs, look at how Texas racially classifies criminals.

Once a celebrated token conservative Latino, Linda Chavez has been a shill for illegal immigration for many years. I am not surprised at all what she wrote.
I’m not surprised; the Post like most other outlets are solidly on the side of La Raza and other racists who are demanding line cutters be given preference to all of those around the world who have followed the rules and awaiting coming here, who want to be Americans.
She is a Hispanic hack who parades around as a conservative.
A long time amnesty pimp.
Comrade Linda has been a Amnesty Whore for decades.
The NY Post has been over taken by Lib Gop types years ago.
Fox, NYP & Nat Rev are all for open borders among other non-conservative ideals.
The fact that anyone committing murder/rape/robbery or any other violent crime could be released at all - no matter what their immigration status - should be outrageous enough.
So far this is what I have found about their CV:
Walter A. Ewing, Ph.D. is the Senior Researcher at the Immigration Policy Center. He has authored or co-authored 20 reports and opinion pieces for the IPC and has published articles in the Georgetown Journal of Law and Public Policy, Stanford Law and Policy Review, and Immigration Law Today. Before joining the IPC, he was an Immigration Policy Analyst at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Program Director of the National Citizenship Network at Immigration and Refugee Services of America. Mr. Ewing received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate School in 1997 and his B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1987.
Rubén G. Rumbaut, Ph.D. is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine. Together with Alejandro Portes, he has directed the landmark Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study and coauthored Immigrant America: A Portrait (4th ed., 2014) and Legacies: The Story of the Immigrant Second Generation (2001), which won the American Sociological Association’s top award for Distinguished Scholarship. He is the founding chair of the International Migration Section of the American Sociological Association, and an elected member of the National Academy of Education and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received his Ph.D. in Sociology from Brandeis University.
Daniel E. Martínez, Ph.D.is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and inaugural director of the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at The George Washington University. He is a co-principal investigator of the Migrant Border Crossing Study, a Ford Foundation-funded research project that involves interviewing recently deported unauthorized migrants about their experiences crossing the U.S-Mexico border and residing in the United States. Martínez also does extensive research on undocumented border-crosser deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border. He received his Ph.D. from the School of Sociology at the University of Arizona.
Obvious lies. And with an obvious political agenda.
I agree - how the NYPost could allow this means that something is rotten in Denmark over there at the Post.
It is beyond shameful how so many just do not care the havoc brought on by illegal invaders. Crime, disease, property damage, taking jobs, illegal voting, you name it.
Maybe they’ll see the error of their ways and print a correction tomorrow.
Illegal immigrants are 100% criminals. They broke the law and are evading justice. Lumping together legal with illegal immigrants is statistical BS.
I don’t really care what the rate of illegal alien crime is to the rate of anything. Nor the rate for recent legal immigrants.
The expectation is that it be ZERO. Otherwise, it is a problem that we shouldn’t have and don’t need to keep.
Illegal aliens and non-citizen legal immigrants: commit crime and you’re out of here.
What is hard to understand about that?
Well, of course the illegals’ incarceration rates are low. That’s because THEY ALL GET TURNED LOOSE!
/Sam Kinison scream
The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons in fiscal year 2010 was about 55,000, and the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails was about 296,000 in fiscal year 2009 (the most recent data available), and the majority were from Mexico. The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons increased about 7 percent from about 51,000 in fiscal year 2005 while the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails increased about 35 percent from about 220,000 in fiscal year 2003. The time period covered by these data vary because they reflect updates since GAO last reported on these issues in 2005. Specifically, in 2005, GAO reported that the percentage of criminal aliens in federal prisons was about 27 percent of the total inmate population from 2001 through 2004.
Based on our random sample, GAO estimates that the criminal aliens had an average of 7 arrests, 65 percent were arrested at least once for an immigration offense, and about 50 percent were arrested at least once for a drug offense. Immigration, drugs, and traffic violations accounted for about 50 percent of arrest offenses. About 90 percent of the criminal aliens sentenced in federal court in fiscal year 2009 (the most recently available data) were convicted of immigration and drug-related offenses. About 40 percent of individuals convicted as a result of DOJ terrorism-related investigations were aliens. SCAAP criminal aliens incarcerated in selected state prison systems in Arizona, California, Florida, New York, and Texas were convicted of various offenses in fiscal year 2008 (the most recently available data at the time of GAO's analysis). The highest percentage of convictions for criminal aliens incarcerated in four of these states was for drug-related offenses. Homicide resulted in the most primary offense convictions for SCAAP criminal aliens in the fifth state--New York--in fiscal year 2008. GAO estimates that costs to incarcerate criminal aliens in federal prisons and SCAAP reimbursements to states and localities ranged from about $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion annually from fiscal years 2005 through 2009;
I saw your other concerned post trashing Trump with this tired hit piece from La Raza Whore Chavez .
i have alerted the Admins about your troll activities.
I have your zapped !
Facts.....
MORE THAN 347,000 CONVICTED CRIMINAL IMMIGRANTS AT LARGE IN U.S.
According to a March 2, 2015 “ICE Weekly Departures and Detention Report” there were 168,680 convicted criminal immigrants who had final orders of removal but who remained at large in the U.S.
Another 179,018 convicted criminal immigrants with deportation cases pending also remained at large.
In 2013 the Obama administration released 36,007 criminal immigrants who had nearly 88,000 convictions. Those convictions included 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual assault convictions, 303 kidnapping convictions, and 1,075 aggravated assault convictions.
In 2014 the administration released another 30,558 criminal immigrants, who had a total of 79,059 convictions. The convictions included in the 2014 releases included: 86 homicide convictions, 186 kidnapping convictions, 373 sexual assault convictions, 449 commercialized sexual offenses, 1,194 battery convictions, 1,346 domestic violence convictions, and 13,636 DUIs.”
As staggering as these numbers are it only represents the small number of the invading forces we caught. As to prison population and costs, it’s quite sobering.
The GAO estimates 25% of the federal prison population are illegals with an average of 7 arrests.
“CRIMINAL ALIEN STATISTICS: Information on Incarcerations, Arrests, and Costs “
This does not include state, county or city prisons and jails. The cost to just the STATE of CA is $1,000,000,000.
“Of the immigrants in state prison, the most come from Mexico, according to the CDCR data. As of December 2010, they show a total of 15,985 inmates from our neighbor to the south. Of those, 1,928 are listed as being here legally, having no ICE hold.
Another 14,057 California prisoners are illegal immigrants from Mexico that are on an ICE hold or potential hold.
It gets worse…..
Illegal immigrants account for about 3.5 percent of the U.S population, they represented 36.7 percent of federal sentences in FY 2014
According to U.S. Sentencing Commission data for FY 2014 of 74,911 sentencing cases, citizens accounted for 43,479 (or 58.0 percent), illegal immigrants accounted for 27,505 (or 36.7 percent), legal immigrants made up 3,017 (or 4.0 percent), and the remainder (about 1 percent) were cases in which the offender was either extradited or had an unknown status
Broken down by some of the primary offenses, illegal immigrants represented 16.8 percent of drug trafficking cases, 20.0 percent of kidnapping/hostage taking, 74.1 percent of drug possession, 12.3 percent of money laundering, and 12.0 percent of murder convictions.
The monetary costs are mind boggling. The destruction of our communities is incalculable .
The complete collapse of American culture was NOT an “accident”. It didn’t “just happen”. It’s the generational product of multi-culturalism and “diversity” of the Neo-Marxists who control our schools.
For those that are interested read the Ewing study, look at that doc sources. Complete joke!
“With similar demographic characteristics”—did you all get that? She couldn’t actually refute Trump’s claim, so she decided to make up her own, narrow, self-serving subset of Americans to compare the Mexicans to.
That she had to do this to try to make her point confirms that, as we all know, Trump was right.

Chavez Withdraws As Labor Nominee
Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2001
Chavez appeared with other immigrants who said she had helped them as she did the Guatemalan, Marta Mercado, in 1991 and 1992, taking her into her home and giving her money but never, she said, as an employee.
