Statistical studies regarding illegal aliens and criminal activity are few and far between. But in a 2007 Government Accountability Office study of a sample population of 55,322 illegal aliens, analysts discovered that: HERE'S THE LINK: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d05646r.pdf (Scroll down a little) * They were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times, averaging about 8 arrests per illegal alien. Nearly all had more than one arrest. Thirty-eight percent (about 21,000) had between 2 and 5 arrests, 32 percent (about 18,000) had between 6 and 10 arrests, and 26 percent (about 15,000) had 11 or more arrests. Most of the arrests occurred after 1990. * They were arrested for a total of about 700,000 criminal offenses, averaging about 13 offenses per illegal alien. One arrest incident may include multiple offenses, a fact that explains why there are nearly one and half times more offenses than arrests. * Almost all of these illegal aliens were arrested for more than 1 offense. Slightly more than half of the 55,322 illegal aliens had between 2 and 10 offenses. About 45 percent of all offenses were drug or immigration offenses. About 15 percent were property-related offenses such as burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and property damage. About 12 percent were for violent offenses such as murder, robbery, assault, and sex-related crimes. The balance was for such other offenses as traffic violations, including driving under the influence; fraud--including forgery and counterfeiting; weapons violations; and obstruction of justice. * Eighty percent of all arrests occurred in three states--California, Texas, and Arizona. Specifically, about 58 percent of all arrests occurred in California, 14 percent in Texas, and 8 percent in Arizona. An FBI crime study also shows heavy illegal alien involvement in criminal activity: * 83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens. * 86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens. * 75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles , Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens. * 24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals. * 40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals. * 48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals. * 29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and Federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually. * 53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens. * 50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. * 71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or "transport coyotes." * 47% of cited/stopped drivers in California have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 47%, 92% are illegal aliens. * 63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 63%, 97% are illegal aliens. * 66% of cited/stopped drivers in New Mexico have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 66% 98% are illegal aliens. * 380,000 plus "anchor babies" were born in the US to illegal alien parents in just one year, making 380,000 babies automatically US citizens.
I dispute this statistic. I live in Los Angeles, and that's simply not true. The two largest gangs here are the Cripps and the Bloods. Most of the Mexican gangs run on young blood, actual US citizens. Perhaps the authorities have difficulty identifying who's in a gang and who's not?
I get around. Note the chart (and read the comments): http://www.streetgangs.com/crips/blackstreetgangs This is the LAPD's official "how to identify a gang member" page: http://www.lapdonline.org/get_informed/content_basic_view/23468 The actual statistic is "more than half are Latino", not "more than half are illegal aliens". http://www.laalmanac.com/crime/cr03v.htm So now I should go back and figure out if it was the government study in error, or just the OP.
I grew up in the LA area. The gang's race depends on the location you live in. I heard that the Mexicans are pushing the blacks out of their area when they move in....true?
