How likely are illegals to report crimes of property or against their person? Doesn't that mean native born criminals are getting away with rape, murder, drugs, theft, bribery?

How about this animal analogy...
Consider packs of wolves (legals) and antelope (illegals) near each other. Both are heading for the lake and swet grass.
The wolves nearest the antelopes eat more antelope meat. The native criminals-wolves prey on illegals - antelopes and the other wolves blame the antelopes for being eaten.
Occassionally a pack of big or loud antelopes uses weapons, horns or size and kills a wounded or young wolf.
Repeat... Ain't the wild USA
wonderful??

Katie,
Nice fairy tale. You should go to jail for every crime your ex commits or may have committed - since you obviously had a chance to turn him in and didn't . Tsk tsk. Indians should arrest and force every "American" to pay a fine and rent if they are allowed to stay.

GREAT QUESTION! Most immigrants do not commit crimes. Many are victims of crimes. For this reason, Congress has created several immigration benefits for immigrant crime victims (U visa, T visa and self petitioning under the Violence Against Women Act). Public Policy behind this? Prevent criminals from getting away with committing crimes.

There are 'high crime' areas. When a certain demographic happens to live in a lot of high crime areas, that demographic is disproportionately represented among both victims and perpetrators. That's strictly correllational, BTW, no judgement about the cause of 'high crime areas' implied.
Since illegals do (wrongly) fear deportation if they report a crime, they may indeed be more attractive as victims, in theory. Of course, criminals probably aren't any better than employers at figuring out who's legal vs illegal - but criminals from within the same community probably have a better idea.

Actually according to a guy from the Federal Bureau, he was on FOX news, he stated that despite the fact illegals are around 4-5% of our country, they make up an astounding 33% of all inmates in prisons nationwide!
They also cost so much they are responsible for 1/10 of our entire deficit, just so you know. And they're overruning countless areas in America. How do I know? I've been in an area overrun by illegals. Illegals are tearing our country apart.

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

Interesting theory but you didn't factor in illegals committing crimes against illegals, ie, coyotes robbing them, etc..

Crimes against Illegals, because that would be considered a hate crime.

it relatively is merely who they are. they have a criminal physique of suggestions to start up with, which leads them to illegally and criminally enter the U. S.. From there, one crime merely ends up in a distinctive, and yet another, and yet another.
