Why are the majority of studies of illegal alien criminality so flawed? First, as Peter Kirsanow, of National Review notes, “Illegal-immigrant crime calculations conveniently and invariably steal a base by leaving out the millions of crimes committed by illegal immigrants related to procuring fraudulent social security numbers, obtaining false drivers’ licenses, using fraudulent green cards, and improperly accessing public benefits.”[2] That error is then compounded when researchers intentionally elect to leave out broad classes of crimes for example, drug offenses — as the Cato Institute frequently does.[3]
Secondly, most federal, state and local government agencies do not collect data on the rates at which illegal aliens are convicted of crimes. Most likely, this is due to political correctness, and a desire to keep the truth about the number of crimes committed by illegal aliens from coming to light. Peter Kirsanow is one of the few who has commented openly on this tendency. He states, “Unfortunately, almost every public official not named Jeff Sessions guards against disclosure of illegal-immigrant crime data more tenaciously than disclosure of nuclear launch codes.”[4]Regardless of why this information is not collected, the end result is that there are a limited number of sources for obtaining data on crimes committed by known illegal aliens.
Finally, most researchers tend to ignore the few established sources that provide data on criminal acts by known illegal aliens. They point to all types of alleged, and typically baseless, “flaws” in this data, ranging from “limited sample size” to an inability to determine whether illegal aliens are being counted more than once. In actuality, however, the only real flaw, from the perspective of mainstream research organizations, is that examinations of data on criminal activity by known illegal aliens tend to establish that those who enter the U.S. in violation of our immigration laws also commit other crimes at a higher rate.
This should not be surprising to anyone. The simple fact that illegal aliens violated American immigration laws – and must continuously violate other federal, state and local laws in order to mask their ongoing illegal presence in this country – demonstrates a blatant lack of respect for the rule of law.
Committing the crimes Americas dont want to commit.
Lies told by the left:
Illegals are a net economic benefit to the US
Illegals are not a disease-ridden, pestilence-carrying danger to Americans
Illegals commit crimes at a lower rate than Americans
The wall won’t work
The simple act of crossing the border illegally they start out with one strike against them.
JESUS WAS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN, YOU ZIONIST BIGOT JEW HATERS! I’D RATHER LIVE NEXT TO VIOLENT TUBERCULAR GUATEMALAN RETARDS THAN ANY OF YOU HATE HAT WEARING RACISTS!
MABA: MAKE AMERICA BROWN AGAIN!
Poor Mary……..Trying to make a seven course meal when all she has is a six pack.
Ummmmm… they’re criminals. Itz whut they do!
Mary
Odds are you probably do live next to violent tubercular Guatemalan retards. Have you looked out the window lately?
“JESUS WAS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN”
Not according to any legitimate Bible you’d care to pick up. Nice try, thanks for playing.
So not only do we find out that there are twice as many illegals as we’d been told, we also find out they’re committing twice the amount of crime that we’d been told. Shocking.
Americans saw their living standards rise the 3 years after “Operation Wetback”! Guess why?
For those under 65 Ike was the xenophobe, white nationalist Presidetn who did it.
From the Department of, “Welllll DUHHHHHHHHHH!” 🙄
Just think how bad it would be with no fences, walls, locks and other security measures.
But of course a wall on the border to keep them out in the first place would be utter madness and totally immoral….(Pelousy-size eyeroll)
Re: Anonymous February 6, 2019 at 8:21 am – Not possible that the Lord and creator of ALL could be an illegal alein? Lol! Jesus never entered anywhere ‘illegally’, he was not a breaker of laws, either man-made or God-made. He said to adhere to mans laws, pay your taxes, ect, not to break their laws.
