Illegals commit crimes at double the rate of native-born: Study
The Washington Times ^ | January 26, 2018 | Stephen Dinan

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 state’s 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 report’s author and president of the research center.

His findings also challenge the general narrative that immigrants commit fewer crimes. Those past studies usually don’t 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.

First report I've seen on crime committed by illegal vs legal immigrants and native born, it shows what has been covered up in my view.

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?

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.

You may well be right and I believe it’s worse anyway.

And McCain called them God's children.

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.

Not to mention the crime of being here illegally in the first place. And they’ve 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.

From a 2009 Tea Party Rally:

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
