Illegal immigrants have been stereo typed as mostly criminals?

Question

While it is obvious that being an illegal immigrant is a crime to start with, anti-illegals are claiming that illegals are the majoral perpetrators of crimes in the US. Everyone should know that illegal immigrants consist of all races ethnicities, why then won't the law enforcement agencies and the news media, identify perpetrators who are caught doing any criminal acts if they are illegals?

Answer 1

They are not "MOSTLY" criminals, they are "ALL" criminals. Just by them being here makes them criminals.

Also, here is some other info:

From the L.A. Times

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people)
are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are
predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien
Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers
.
5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers
are Mexican nationals here illegally
.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles
are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English

Facts, Figures And Statistics On Illegal ImmigrationSearch This Site
The Dark Side Of Illegal Immigration
In Biting the Hand That Feeds You, Congressman Steve King of Iowa noted:

What would the May 1, 2006, illegal immigration boycott look like without illegal immigration?

The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who otherwise would die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens each day.

Another 13 Americans would survive who are otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals.

There would be no one to smuggle across our southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines, which plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of methamphetamines that day, by 80%.

Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases, to hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind illegals.

Eight American children would not suffer the horror as victims of sex crimes.

Answer 2

No, they are all criminals, by definition. That's not a stereotype, it's a fact.

There has been a tendency lately to get upset about heinous crimes committed by illegals (but not about equally hienous crimes comitted by citizens). The theory is that had the illegal been deported, the crime would not have been committed (at least, not in America). That theory is, of course, bogus.

lllegal Aliens do need to be deported for the crime they have committed - being here illegally - not for crimes they 'might' commit.

Answer 3

1. Because they commit a criminal act to get here.
2. There is no such word as majoral, so I'm not sure what you are asking.
3. Any crimes committed in the US by illegals are too many as they shouldn't be here to commit any at all.
4. Illegals committing crimes are often deported rather than convicted.

Answer 4

All illegals commit a misdemeanor when they cross the border without papers or over stay their visa's. Then if they work with stolen or forged papers that's a felony, Then they go on to not pay their taxes and that's a second felony. So yes most if not all illegals are criminals

Answer 5

You can't expect a dying culture (ours) to go away quietly while they die. If you're shot, you generally scream, cry, wave your arms frantically, something like that.

Everyone I know, or have ever heard of, or have seen on TV, or anyone else, for that matter, is a criminal. Ever speed? Jaywalk? Spit? Express a hate crime verbally? Miss a turn signal or weave in traffic a bit?

We can't enforce all the laws on the books - which would be okay, really, except our economy is law based. Basically, we're playing a game of pin-the-tail-on-the-scumbag, but while we're trying to pin our own tail, others are taking advantage. Any group (media, political, moral, ethnic, etc.) is capable of taking advantage of individuals, and most do so fairly often.

Frankly, I'd rather not concern myself with immigrants - I have too many things to OUCH (removes pin). Well, I'll just forget about it until it becomes too late to do anything...OUCH. Did it again. Starting to bleed. Did I mention Bush is almost out of office...OUCH. (removes pin again) too late there, too - nobody decent to vote for. Let's pull out of IraqOUCH!!!! Wow, the pin got bigger. More bleeding. Less blood reserves. Better keep trying to mess things up before we pass out from lack of blood. Getting... drowsy... must turn on... television... forget... problemzzzzzzzzz...

snxxxxxx.

Answer 6

Every one of them has shown a willingness to break American laws. Why would we believe that someone who is dishonest would change their behavior when the get into the US? They show no respect for the country or for the people who live here legally. They refuse to learn and use English and they fly the mexican flag above or without the American flag. If they really were good honest people they would try to be respectful and be accepted, not acting like they have ANY right to be here at all.

Answer 7

I know they commit a huge amount of the violent crimes. Just look at the prison population and the make-up of gangs!

And these are the individuals the pro-amnesty crowd want to give amnesty to.

Answer 8

Well being illegal is a crime. Then on top of that they don't pay taxes and that's a crime. A lot of them like to steal peoples identities to get benefits and that's a crime. Lots of them just end up as common criminals.

Sounds to me like they earned that stereotype.

Answer 9

Reliable media does. Mainstream does not - just like it doesn't accurately report crimes by gays, illegals are now a protected group.
