This article by this woman and her facts are directly at odds with Rush's and others' that I respect claims that Trump has very solid figures behind his statements. Of course, I'm inclined to believe them over someone named Chavez who has associations in the past with La Raza, but it is strange the Post and also National Review are giving her post time.
I was hoping someone with a better understanding of the true stats than I could let me know why Chavez is full of it with this post.
Also, I am saddened that the Post, usually reliably conservative around here, would let her push this falsehood on the front page of their online site.
Just for laughs, look at how Texas racially classifies criminals.

Once a celebrated token conservative Latino, Linda Chavez has been a shill for illegal immigration for many years. I am not surprised at all what she wrote.
I’m not surprised; the Post like most other outlets are solidly on the side of La Raza and other racists who are demanding line cutters be given preference to all of those around the world who have followed the rules and awaiting coming here, who want to be Americans.
She is a Hispanic hack who parades around as a conservative.
A long time amnesty pimp.
Comrade Linda has been a Amnesty Whore for decades.
The NY Post has been over taken by Lib Gop types years ago.
Fox, NYP & Nat Rev are all for open borders among other non-conservative ideals.
The fact that anyone committing murder/rape/robbery or any other violent crime could be released at all - no matter what their immigration status - should be outrageous enough.
So far this is what I have found about their CV:
Walter A. Ewing, Ph.D. is the Senior Researcher at the Immigration Policy Center. He has authored or co-authored 20 reports and opinion pieces for the IPC and has published articles in the Georgetown Journal of Law and Public Policy, Stanford Law and Policy Review, and Immigration Law Today. Before joining the IPC, he was an Immigration Policy Analyst at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Program Director of the National Citizenship Network at Immigration and Refugee Services of America. Mr. Ewing received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate School in 1997 and his B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1987.
Rubén G. Rumbaut, Ph.D. is Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine. Together with Alejandro Portes, he has directed the landmark Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study and coauthored Immigrant America: A Portrait (4th ed., 2014) and Legacies: The Story of the Immigrant Second Generation (2001), which won the American Sociological Association’s top award for Distinguished Scholarship. He is the founding chair of the International Migration Section of the American Sociological Association, and an elected member of the National Academy of Education and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received his Ph.D. in Sociology from Brandeis University.
Daniel E. Martínez, Ph.D.is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and inaugural director of the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at The George Washington University. He is a co-principal investigator of the Migrant Border Crossing Study, a Ford Foundation-funded research project that involves interviewing recently deported unauthorized migrants about their experiences crossing the U.S-Mexico border and residing in the United States. Martínez also does extensive research on undocumented border-crosser deaths along the U.S.-Mexico border. He received his Ph.D. from the School of Sociology at the University of Arizona.
She has been an amnesty whore for a long time now. I think she was nominated for some post by W and had to withdraw because she had an illegal aline any or some such thing.
Obvious lies. And with an obvious political agenda.
I agree - how the NYPost could allow this means that something is rotten in Denmark over there at the Post.
It is beyond shameful how so many just do not care the havoc brought on by illegal invaders. Crime, disease, property damage, taking jobs, illegal voting, you name it.
Maybe they’ll see the error of their ways and print a correction tomorrow.

My goodness. I did not realize that. That’s criminal. The only intent of these Pc clowns is to deceive.
Saw that earlier, but then how is she even making stats that classify people as Mexican and Salvadorian, etc.?
“illegal aline any “
I meant to write illegal alien nanny.
Illegal immigrants are 100% criminals. They broke the law and are evading justice. Lumping together legal with illegal immigrants is statistical BS.
That was helpful, thanks.
I’m not trying to be lazy though, I just don’t know enough about statistics, yet, to lay bare why her figures are bs.
I know some Freepers are really good at that.
I agree with everyone’s comments here, but I want to win some weekend conversations with other “right-leaning people” (Republicans, but not conservatives) and this will be a major topic. As the RINOs around here love to quote the NR, and Post.
I don’t really care what the rate of illegal alien crime is to the rate of anything. Nor the rate for recent legal immigrants.
The expectation is that it be ZERO. Otherwise, it is a problem that we shouldn’t have and don’t need to keep.
Illegal aliens and non-citizen legal immigrants: commit crime and you’re out of here.
What is hard to understand about that?
