Impact
On Crime |
| |
|
Lax
enforcement
of
immigration
laws
have
invited
a
criminal
element
to our
society.
|
| |
|
Alien
gangs
operate
in most,
if not
all,
major
U.S.
cities.
|
| |
|
Human
and drug
smuggling
operations
prosper
along
our
southern
border.
|
| |
|
Our
prisons
are
overcrowded,
in large
part,
because
of the
disproportionate
number
of
Illegal
Aliens
in them. |
| |
|
Reports
of 30
percent
or more
of the
prisoners
being
non-citizens
are not
uncommon,
at an
annual
cost to
taxpayers,
of over
$13
billion
annually,
and this
does not
include
the cost
of the
police
work and
/ or
judicial
costs
prior to
their
imprisonment. |
| |
|
Some
estimates
place
the
number
of
incarcerated
Illegal
Aliens
close to
17%,
which is
significant
while
considering
Illegal
Aliens
account
for
4-10%
percent
of our
population.
