The crime rate among illegal immigrants in Arizona is twice that of other residents, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Friday, citing a new report based on conviction data.
The report, from the Crime Prevention Research Center, used a previously untapped set of data from Arizona that detailed criminal convictions and found that illegal immigrants between 15 and 35 are less than 3 percent of the states population, but nearly 8 percent of its prison population.
And the crimes they were convicted of were, on the whole, more serious, said John R. Lott Jr., the reports author and president of the research center.
His findings also challenge the general narrative that immigrants commit fewer crimes. Those past studies usually dont look at legal versus illegal populations, Mr. Lott said.
Mr. Lott said the Arizona data is able to peek behind that curtain, and the differences between the populations were stark.

I blame white people..but then I blame white people for everything.
That can’t be true. Chuck Schumer told me they were the best and brightest - a credit to our country. He wouldn’t LIE to me, would he?
Once again, thank God for John Lott....
That’s racist.
Off the Wall Ping!

I find that hard to believe. Only double?
Probably higher since the FBI has a habit of counting ‘White Hispanics’ as “White”.
And their first crime committed here occurred the moment they crossed the border.
I think this does not include federal convictions. So the real situation is probably worse.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
You may well be right and I believe it’s worse anyway.
Just one more reason to deport them, whether they dream or not.
This cannot include the illegal on illegal crimes, because those are unlikely to be reported.
Thus the real numbers must be much higher.
People coming from non Judeao-Christian nation have no moral norms, wow, big surprise.
Not to mention the crime of being here illegally in the first place. And theyve probably excluded the crimes committed by illegals who local authorities are covering for under their amnesty policies.
50% of other people commit crimes? 100% of illegals are committing a crime.
50% of other people commit crimes? 100% of illegals are committing a crime.
How many since then? How many assaults, burglaries, rapes, murders. . victims and their families? How many? How much suffering?
And that’s the ones who’ve been caught...unlike the maids who stole from me over 17k worth of stuff, unlike the ones who stole from my daughter in Seattle, unlike the ones who robbed a truck full of my husband’s stuff in the bay area.
If they’re not caught I’m assuming they go into the category of “innocent law abiding immigrants doing the work Americans won’t do”. GRRRR
