Open-borders conservatives point to the relatively low crime rate among immigrants to deny any connection between high immigration and crime. But unless we can prevent immigrants from having children, a high level of immigration translates to increased levels of crime.

In cases where the illegal immigrants’ localities are subject to high crime driven by sheer poverty, the State Government is also forced to use taxpayer money (disproportionately from legal residents/citizens) to build more prisons. The reasons are the same in both cases: numbers-driven politics and acute institutional incapacity. As a result, for decades, the INS had as much effect on the migration of millions of illegal aliens into the country as a can tied to the tail of a tiger. All of their cases are being handled by the public defender’s office, which declined to comment.

Many legal aliens make the mistake of entering into plea agreements in criminal cases without fully understanding?or in some cases, even considering?the immigration problems the conviction may bring about. Any non-citizen facing criminal charges should consult not only a criminal lawyer, but also an immigration attorney immediately. But a look at the most recent statistics for the prison system about what the prisoners are in for suggests this is not the case. About 15.5% of California’s prisoners are in for murder (1st, 2nd degree, manslaughter) (PDF format). Even in some cases when you deport somebody they’re back here in 30 days. We just had a stabbing here in Leesburg, and one of the guys who was involved had been deported about 45 days prior.

Indignant anti-immigration voices dominate internet discussions with their vitriol and misinformation, and even point to false data to bolster their case. The anti-immigrant forces draw, for example, on the “2006 (First Quarter) INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants” with its array of alarming statistics about illegal immigrants and crime to make their case that undocumented immigrants not only break the law entering the country but also break the laws, with a proclivity to violent crimes, once they make their own homes here. A case in point is Los Angeles, Special order 40, that over twenty nine years since its obnoxious inception, has been instrumental in the deaths of hundreds of innocent citizens. A case in point the cold-blooded murder of Jamiel Shaw, at the hands of an illegal alien. Similarly, the surge in illegal immigration didn’t prevent welfare caseloads from falling or millions of new jobs from being created.

First, there are more male than female illegal aliens. Second, lots of black women go into clerical jobs where literacy in English is a prerequisite. Male noncitizens born in Mexico – a group much more likely than the overall foreign-born population to include illegal immigrants – have much lower rates of institutionalization than the native-born. U.S.-born men have rates more than eight times higher. Even with the internet it is very difficult to track down and report the participation level of illegal aliens in crime because NOBODY IS KEEPING TRACK! However, as this report has detailed and documented, it is quite considerable and is the direct consequence of our unfettered immigration policy, porous borders, sanctuary cities , and lack of enforcement.
