THAT'S what you call "research?" Shoulda stayed in bed and watched the Late Show, Kramer.
I stopped reading here:
<<How much of that is consequence of illegal alien crimes is largely unknown because NOBODY IS TRACKING IT. >>
Q.E.D.
<<However, we do know that a large portion of the surging prison population is due to illegal alien criminals – a subject addressed later in this section. Also note the correlation with the increase in the illegal alien population since 1989.>>
whoopee doo - - more aliens sneaking into the country, more aliens in the jails. What a surprise.
The stats you need would go something like this:
total no. of illegals in the country, average Jan. 1/09 to Dec. 31/09 = a
total no. of legal American (immig. & native-born), average Jan. 1/09 to Dec. 31/09 = b
total of illegals convicted of murder in 2009 = c
total of legals convicted of murder in 2009 = d
illegal conviction rate = c/a
legals conviction rate = d/b
Then you see if c/a >d/b, in which case you are right, or if d/b>c/a, in which case you are wrong.
You're welcome.
