Bureau of Prisons
Criminal aliens—non-citizens convicted of crimes—are an increasing burden on U.S. prison systems. In 1980, federal and state facilities held fewer than 9,000 criminal aliens. But at the end of 2004, approximately 267,000 non-citizens http:// www.gao.gov/new.items/d05337r.pdf were incarcerated in U.S. correctional facilities, as follows:
. 46,000 in federal prisons
. 74,000 in state prisons
. 147,000 in local jails
Approximately 27 percent of all prisoners in Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facilities are criminal aliens. VDARE.com Home Page - Welcome! rubenstein/050630_nd.htm The majority (63 percent) are citizens of Mexico. Other major nationalities include Colombia and the Dominican Republic 7 percent each; Jamaica 4 percent; Cuba 3 percent; El Salvador 2 percent; and Honduras, Haiti, and Guatemala 1 percent each.
The remaining 11 percent are from 164 different countries. The BOP’s budget request called for
spending $5.4 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2008. Using 27 percent as an allocation factor, we estimate the costs of holding foreign-born, non-citizen inmates in BOP facilities at $1.5 billion. While this may seem large, it is, in fact, not large enough. A shortage of available prison capacity has forced federal authorities to release criminal aliens prematurely. Nationally an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 illegal immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes still walk the streets. (For them, crime pays.)
