Violating our immigration laws are not the crimes being discussed in the article.Talk about a misrepresentation of facts.It's time to end the lying coming from the Trump cult.
By Charis Kubrin, Graham C. Ousey, Lesley Reid, Robert Adelman, The Conversation on February 7, 2017
Research has shown virtually no support for the enduring assumption that increases in immigration are associated with increases in crime.
Immigration-crime research over the past 20 years has widely corroborated the conclusions of a number of early 20th-century presidential commissions that found no backing for the immigration-crime connection. Although there are always individual exceptions, the literature demonstrates that immigrants commit fewer crimes, on average, than native-born Americans.
Also, large cities with substantial immigrant populations have lower crime rates, on average, than those with minimal immigrant populations.
In a paper published this year in the Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice, we, along with our colleagues Gail Markle, Saskia Weiss and Charles Jaret, investigated the immigration-crime relationship.
We analyzed census data spanning four decades from 1970 to 2010 for 200 randomly selected metropolitan areas, which include center cities and surrounding suburbs. Examining data over time allowed us to assess whether the relationship between immigration and crime changed with the broader U.S. economy and the origin and number of immigrants.
The most striking finding from our research is that for murder, robbery, burglary and larceny, as immigration increased, crime decreased, on average, in American metropolitan areas. The only crime that immigration had no impact on was aggravated assault. These associations are strong and stable evidence that immigration does not cause crime to increase in U.S. metropolitan areas, and may even help reduce it.

Wrong:
The truth about crime, illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities
The relationship between illegal immigrants and violent crime
Research conducted by the federal government oversight organization Judicial Watch in 2014 documents that 50 percent of all federal crimes were committed near our border with Mexico.
Of the 61,529 criminal cases filed by federal prosecutors; 40 percent or 24,746 were in court districts along the southern borders of California, Arizona and Texas.
The Western District of Texas had the nation’s most significant crime rate with over 6,300 cases filed; followed by the Southern District of Texas with slightly over 6,000 cases.
The Southern California District with nearly 4,900 cases; New Mexico with nearly 4,000 cases and Arizona with over 3,500 criminal cases ranked 3rd, 4th and 5th.
The U.S. Department of Justice documents that in 2014, 19 percent or over 12,000 criminal cases filed by prosecutors were for violent crimes; and over 22 percent or 13,300 cases were for drug related felonies.
That same year, the U.S. Sentencing Commission found that 75 percent of all criminal defendants who were convicted and sentenced for federal drug offenses were illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants were also involved in 17 percent of all drug trafficking sentences and one third of all federal prison sentences.
The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Sentencing Commission reported that as of 2014, illegal immigrants were convicted and sentenced for over 13 percent of all crimes committed in the U.S.
According to the FBI, 67,642 murders were committed in the U.S. from 2005 through 2008, and 115,717 from 2003 through 2009. The General Accounting Office documents that criminal immigrants committed 25,064 of these murders.
Illegal immigrants clearly commit a level of violent and drug related crimes disproportionate to their population.
In California alone, over 2,400 illegal immigrants out of a total prison population of 130,000 are imprisoned in the state’s prison system for the crime of homicide.
If you charge everyone as a criminal for trying to enter this country, even those who are completely legal, seeking asylum, then of course that's where the most charges are.
And the "crime" in 99% of the cases are a misdemeanor.
Careful, listening to Republicans who think they have "facts" is the doorway to the universe of Alternative Facts.
In proportional terms, illegal aliens are far more likely to commit crimes than native born Americans, but apparently you don't do fractions or percentages.It's time to end the lying coming from the Trump cult.

Latest statistics from the US Sentencing Commission [ Topic]
Non-Citizens Federal Crimes:
22% of Murders
18% of Fraud
33% of Money Laundering
29% of Drug Trafficking
72% of Drug Possession
Get it????
Non-Citizens are FAR more likely to commit crimes that Americans are.
Which party hid this from you????
Which party hates Americans?
LOL! None of these numbers are majorities except drug possession and that's dubious.
Try again teenage wonder.

The folks that died at the hands of illegal aliens beg to differ OP, or are you claiming these people would have been killed anyway?
You can’t have it both ways.
How about the thousands more killed by legal Americans? You can't have it your way. You don't get to blame immigrants from only one part of the world for crime when most of our crime they don't commit no matter what kind of numbers you idiots try pulling up.
You never answered the question. Obviously citizens commit crime, only an idiot would argue other.
But, would those that died at the hands of illegal aliens be dead anyway if the illegal had not killed them?
If the answer is no, and they would not have been killed, then the OP is complete nonsenses
I answered your question. Thousands more were killed by legal Americans. That fact makes your question irrelevant.
You don’t math very well. We’re you never taught percentages?LOL! None of these numbers are majorities except drug possession and that's dubious.
Try again teenage wonder.
The numbers are of illegals in federal incarceration out of the entire US population.
Let's do the math.
If the (bogus) figure cited ...."11 million illegal aliens live in the country"...
….that is about 0.03 % of the population…..committing crime WAY out of proportion:
Per the US Sentencing Commission [ Topic]
Non-Citizens Federal Crimes:
22% of Murders
18% of Fraud
33% of Money Laundering
29% of Drug Trafficking
72% of Drug Possession
And these are only federal statistics.
Wanna see the figures from California, or New York????
Wake up, Liberal: there is one reason and one reason alone, to explain why the Democrats put Americans at risk and at debt for illegals.....
.....they vote Democrat.
Here's another hint:
That 5.6% figure for the average illegal alien population in those five states comes from US Census estimates. We know the real number is double that official estimate. Yet, even if it is 11%, it is still shameful that the percentage of murders by criminal aliens is more than triple the illegal population in those states.
- "Between 2008 and 2014, 40% of all murder convictions in Florida were criminal aliens. In New York it was 34% and Arizona 17.8%.
- During those years, criminal aliens accounted for 38% of all murder convictions in the five states of California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and New York, while illegal aliens constitute only 5.6% of the total population in those states.
- That 38% represents 7,085 murders out of the total of 18,643.
Those astounding numbers were compiled by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) using official Department of Justice data on criminal aliens in the nation’s correctional system. The numbers were the basis for a presentation at a recent New Hampshire conference sponsored by the highly respected Center for Security Policy. You can view the full presentation here:
The federal Bureau of Prisons category “criminal aliens” includes legal immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes, but over 90% of incarcerated criminal aliens are illegal aliens, so it is reasonable to use these numbers as a close approximation of the extent of illegal alien crime.
Similar data is available at the state level if state officials have the desire to look for it. The Texas Department of Public Safety reports that between 2008 and 2014, 35% of the all murder convictions were illegal aliens—averaging 472 murders each year from 2004 to 2008."
Illegal Alien Crime Accounts for over 30% of Murders in Many States | Breitbart
No kiddo we don't count like that.
And we don't consider Breitbart a valid source.
And now here's something they'll REALLY enjoy!
My graph is quite clear and speaks for itself.
There is no way to give a shit about these "studies". We have them in our country too.It's time to end the lying coming from the Trump cult.

LoL - Maybe I should start a website listing all violent crimes committed by white Gomers in the deep south?
The numbers are clear - Immigrants whether legal or illegal do not increase crime.
