American citizens do commit the majority of crimes in the USA, yes...
Do you understand the woid 'proportion'....as in what percentage of our population is mexican and what percentage of our mexican population occupies jail cells? I think not.
BOP Statistics: Inmate Ethnicity
Now we see in the chart posted above that 33% of our prison population is mexican and contrast that with the fact that ss of July 2015, Mexican Americans made up 11.1% of the United States' population....thus you can now understand how out of proportion mexican criminals are to their total pop. of america....as in ---the 11 percent mexican composition of our total population occupies 33% of our total jailed population.
Also we should consider how many Africans or what percentage of our African population occupies jail cells..................Approximately 12–13% of the American population is African-American, but they make up 35% of jail inmates, and 37% of prison inmates of the 2.2 million male inmates as of 2014 (U.S. Department of Justice, 2014)
Thus we see people of color despite their minority status occupy the majority of our prison population.
Next?
