You think they do...I know they do. There are several well-sourced books available that illustrate the disparity of crime rates among races in the US. That, of course is a huge sore spot for liberals. But don't worry, they've taken steps to ensure crime rates are evened out...at least according to "official" statistics.

It's well known that blacks are in the highest crime rate, Hispanics in the middle, and whites below them. So to correct the huge gap between black and white the Federal Department of Immigration and Naturalization Service now does interesting things with crime statistics (actually it's been done for several years now.)

When an illegal alien (most commonly of Mexican descent) commits a crime such as auto theft, robbery, assault, etc. that person is not identified as Hispanic, but rather as white. Conversely, if the victim is an illegal alien of Mexican descent, that person is correctly identified as Hispanic, not white. It's merely a numbers game. In effect, white crime rates become wildly inflated.

So if a person of Hispanic heritage commits a crime, he's white; otherwise, he gets preferential treatment as a member of a so-called minority. I say "so-called" because Hispanic is not a race of people. I think the only true races are caucasian, negroid and oriental and maybe another.
