DOJ Releases New Numbers: One-in-Five Federal Prisoners Are Foreign Born, Most Illegal Aliens
Townhall ^ | December 21, 2017 | by Katie Pavlich

The Department of Justice has released new quarterly numbers, as required through an executive order signed by President Trump earlier this year, detailing how many foreign born individuals are currently incarcerated in the U.S. federal prison system.

According to the numbers, one-in-five individuals were born outside of the U.S. and a significant number are illegal aliens. From the Alien Incarceration Report:

A total of 58,766 known or suspected aliens were in in DOJ custody at the end of FY 2017, including 39,455 persons in BOP custody and 19,311 in USMS custody.

Of this total, 37,557 people had been confirmed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be aliens (i.e., non-citizens and non-nationals), while 21,209 foreign-born people were still under investigation by ICE to determine alienage.

Among the 37,557 confirmed aliens, 35,334 people (94 percent) were unlawfully present. These numbers include a 92 percent unlawful rate among 24,476 confirmed aliens in BOP custody and a 97 percent unlawful rate among 13,081 confirmed aliens in USMS custody.

This report does not include data on the foreign-born or alien populations in state prisons and local jails.

I would bet that the percentage is even higher in state prisons, if taken nationwide.

What percentage of homicides are committed by illegal aliens?

One estimate from Texas was two thirds in that state:

I can hear the left’s reply already, that they’re only there in disproportionate numbers because of “raycizm”. To be fair, we should put more native-born white males in prison (doesn’t matter if they didn’t do anything, it’s the outcome which matters). At least, that’s the way some public schools are playing it (don’t punish “minority” offenders, but throw the book at white males).

The illegal population in the jails and state prisons is often higher than feds. The border states are extremely affected by illegal crime.

That’s a lot of illegals.

Kate Steinle’s killer ought to be one of those in prison, but noooo.

Gee. If only there was a way to bring those numbers down. If only there was a way to avoid that many illegals from wasting airspace in our prisons.

"The approximately $46 billion in federal expenditures attributable to illegal aliens is staggering. Assuming an illegal alien population of approximately 12.5 million illegal aliens and 4.2 million U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, that amounts to roughly $2,746 per illegal alien, per year."

States and federal governments looking for ways to save money? Deport all imprisoned illegal aliens back to whence they came. Yes, it is just that simple.
