Do you believe those who say the majority of "undocumented workers" are law-abiding, peaceful people?

Question

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/3/27/114208.shtml read the info on that link! The numbers are slightly different at current time, but the report still rings true... Roughly four percent of the U.S. population is illegal immigrants, yet SEVENTEEN percent of our federal prison population is illegals. I hear to often that many are fleeing the violence and corruption of Mexico; in my opinion a more accurate statement would be that they are BRINGING MEXICO'S VIOLENCE AND CORRUPTION WITH THEM when they come here.

Answer 1

NO! What is wrong, is because illegals commit more crime than whites in America. 8 children a day, under the age of 12, are sexually abused by mexican illegals alone, raped, and sodomized. November, 18th, 2006, an American photographer was attacked, robbed, and assaulted by 9 illegal mexican aliens in San Diego, CA. In Florida, November, 2006, an illegal alien from Honduras, murdered a white American woman, by smacking her so hard in her face, she was knocked out (she had complained that he was making too much noise), and thinking he killed her, hung her by the neck, with rope, in her own bathroom, to make it look like she committed suicide, he confessed.
Want me to go on? An illegal mexican alien in New Mexico, broke into an 8 year old girl's home, while she was having a slumber party, and snatched her out of her bedroom, after opening the lower floor window, to her room. He raped, sodomized, and beat her brutely to death, also choking her. He had taken her into the trailer of a truck to commit these acts. More fact's, and evidence in the links below. Break ONE law, break them ALL, if you're allowed to break ONE!

Answer 2

I don't agree that they are law abiding because that would mean they were legal and we are talking about illegal or undocumented. The last stats I saw put the percentage of illegal immigrants in our prisons at just over 30%, 1/3rd. Wow is 1/3 of our population made up of illegal immigrants? As far as who makes up the rest of the prison population I don't know. Illegal immigrants cover the biggest group of prisoners in the US and for crimes other than illegal entry. While they are going through our system they are given a lawyer, and all of the food and medical attention afforded to people who are citizens and have paid into our tax system. They do not deserve to utilize any services payed for out of my taxes. I do believe that there are plenty of illegal immigrants with only the best intentions but don't make light of the others and without the background checks we can't tell which is which. The street to hell is paved with good intentions.

Answer 3

Interesting figures in the article. Or course the key thing is they are law-breakers the moment they cross the border.

Peaceful ? I'd imagine that is reasonably true... here in my area of California, they keep a low profile after working all day. Why cause any trouble that would get them deported?

Mexico needs to clean up THEIR country. AND take back their citizens living illegally here.

Answer 4

By definition, "undocumented workers" have broken our immigration laws and are therefore criminals. That aside, those that do make it to our prisons are there because they have committed other crimes. I believe that the percentage of illegal aliens (who says they have to be workers) that commit crimes that will place them in our prison system is small compared to the number that come here.

The rest of the prison population is a small percentage of the entire population of our country, so why would you expect it to be different for them?

Answer 5

Yes you are right in your comment. The advocates talk about how corrupt Mexico is but it is also the people themselves.
Most Mexican middle class home owners in Mexico don't just put fence around their property they also put broken bottles on the fences. It sure not to keep out Americans criminals.

Answer 6

1. They are not law-abiding because they are in violation of the immigration laws.

2. That said, most left Mexico because they were put out of work by the massive imports of duty-free (under NAFTA) subsidized (due to US-taxpayer-funded crop subsidies to agribusiness) corn, cotton, tobacco, rice.

3. Meanwhile, African farm workers area likewise put out of work by EU and US crop subsidies, and they head for Europe, illegally.

As always, the white collar guys get rich immorally. And the working stiffs get caught doing illegal stuff.

Which is worse?

Answer 7

Peaceful, maybe. But definately not law abbiding, as they broke laws to get here and more laws to not even be documented.

And I highly doubt 40% of population is illegal immigrants. All the immigrants I know aren't illegal and get angry when people come illegally. This includes hispanics.

Answer 8

I'd be curious to know how many people on this board who say things like "It's the law" have never had a speeding ticket. Illegal presence in the united states is not a felony, it's a civil crime.
You answered your own question. If 17% are in federal prision then 83% are not.

Answer 9

From the act of sneaking across the border leaves wide open the need to also obtain false documents.No government agency tracks crimes by illegals, not even attacks on police no one really knows how many illegal alien criminals there are and many simply fall through the cracks.

Answer 10

No, obviously, if they are "undocumented" or in real terms, ILLEGALS, then they are not abiding by the law, so, in reality, every single "undocumented" worker is breaking the law.
Box em up, ship em back.
