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 the Arizona data is able to peek behind that curtain, and the differences between the populations were stark.
Among nearly 4,000 first- and second-degree murder convictions, undocumented immigrants accounted for nearly 13 percent — significantly higher than their percentage of the population. Legal immigrants, by contrast, were less than 1 percent of convicts. Native-born made up the rest. Undocumented immigrants also accounted for five times the rate of convictions for money laundering and kidnapping, and were three times more likely to be convicted of drive-by shootings.

Bush League Republicans want to make them citizens.
We need new Senators.
“We need new Senators.”.........
No question about it.
And so does President Trump
When the first thing people do is break the law upon entering our country, I do not see how this is any surprise.
We need ‘enforcement’ of the immigration laws already on the books...alone that would decrease their population considerably.
bkmk
And if they Counted ‘White Hispanics’ as Hispanics, the number would be double again.
The liberals I hear talk about this don’t cite crime statistics. What they claim is that you are more likely to be in jail if you’re an American than you are if you’re an illegal immigrant. That is a slightly different argument. Frankly I believe it. Most illegal immigrants just came here recently so of course the legal system has not had time to catch up with them. In addition we have sanctuary city laws where cities refuse to enforce the laws against illegals. It’s basically a get out of jail free card.
Wish liberals would spend their dinero down in Mexico and fund that utopia for them! They both hate this country and the Mexicans could fly their own flag there, like they do here!
Wait! You mean to tell me that people who immigrated to this country legally, complied with all the regulations and red tape, followed our laws and had background checks are more law-abiding that folks who came here illegally?
I thought it was way more than double!
Try to imagine a Clinton from Mexico.
