From WendyDarling:
John Lott, Jr., PhD, Dean’s Visiting Professor at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, in a Feb. 18, 2018 article, “Undocumented Immigrants, U.S. Citizens, and Convicted Criminals in Arizona,” available at papers.ssrn.com, stated:
"Undocumented immigrants are at least 142% more likely to be convicted of a crime than other Arizonans. They also tend to commit more serious crimes and serve 10.5% longer sentences, more likely to be classified as dangerous, and 45% more likely to be gang members than U.S. citizens…
Young convicts are especially likely to be undocumented immigrants. While undocumented immigrants from 15 to 35 years of age make up slightly over two percent of the Arizona population, they make up about eight percent of the prison population. Even after adjusting for the fact that young people commit crime at higher rates, young undocumented immigrants commit crime at twice the rate of young U.S. citizens. These undocumented immigrants also tend to commit more serious crimes.
K: did some research on Mr. Lott and he is an pro-gun fanatic whose research
was paid for by… the NRA…no bias there!!!
Steven Camarota, PhD, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), in a Jan. 10, 2018 article, “Non-Citizens Committed a Disproportionate Share of Federal Crimes, 2011-16,” available at cis.org, stated:
"21% of those convicted of non-immigration crimes were non-citizens — 2.5 times their share of the population…
Areas where non-citizens account for a much larger share of convictions than their 8.4 percent share of the adult population include:
42.4 percent of kidnapping convictions;
31.5 percent of drug convictions;
22.9 percent of money laundering convictions;
13.4 percent of administration of justice offenses (e.g. witness tampering, obstruction, and contempt);
17.8 percent of economic crimes (e.g. larceny, embezzlement, and fraud);
13 percent of other convictions (e.g. bribery, civil rights, environmental, and prison offenses); and
12.8 percent of auto thefts."
Steven Camarota: One Additional Caveat. Because it is easier to make an immigration case, federal prosecutors sometimes charge illegal immigrants only with immigration violations, even when they have committed serious non-immigration crimes. Once convicted, an immigrant will still normally serve some time and then be deported, which is often seen by prosecutors as good enough. This, of course, does not happen with citizens. But because of this, conviction data for non-immigration crimes will tend to understate the level of criminal activity among non-citizens.
Don’t let the mainstream media and illegal alien advocates tell you that illegal immigration is a ‘victimless crime’ and that they are here only to do the work Americans don’t want to do. Since each crime has a victim, 1,288,619 sounds like a lot of victimization to us. Also keep in mind that the 1,288,619 crimes are only the ones committed by the hard core illegal alien criminals who were finally caught and incarcerated. The ones not caught and the new criminals crossing daily are committing more crime each and every day.
WD: I would venture to guess that there will be many more studies but will they have the accurate information they need about race and origin of birth? No, leftists want to conceal reality, it’s there modus operandi. Leftists want to keep the public at large placated with visions of sugarplum fairies dancing in their heads rather than shed any light on whats really going on in terms of the number of millions of illegal aliens and the races and birth places of illegal aliens who commit crimes more serious than driving violations and entering the country illegally.
K: and as for Mr Camarota: he is a head of a radical right wing anti-immigration think tank…
so who exactly is trying to hide the facts? and who is trying to conceal reality?
