Illegals are a problem, but our prison system is not "dominated" by them. The thugs I see walking around the worst sections of Seattle aint foreign born either. I guess its a regional thing.
Not yet. But the rate of growth from about 5% in 1980 to 29% in 2004 suggests that they are commiting more crime.
Even if the higher estimates of the number of illegal aliens here are correct, 14 million, that is less than 5 percent of U.S. population. Yet, illegal aliens are 25 percent of the federal prison population. Clearly, from these numbers, criminals are hugely over-represented among the 8 million to 14 million illegals in the United States and the hundreds of thousands who breach our southern border every year.Here.
