This was the talking point on NPR this morning.

They failed to mention how they define 'substantially greater'.

Just thought I'd share this with you folks.

So, 100% of citizens commit crimes comparable to violating the immigration law?

Oh wait, that's right, we're "deeming" that crime not a crime.

Well, then, murderers commit crimes at rates 'not substantially greater' than citizens then.

Man, I love solving problems.

We know how they define it. They compare the 11 million illegals to the other $300+ million US citizens. It's intellectually dishonest.

I would guess that 100% of illegals have committed a crime.

Setting the "not substantially greater" bullshite aside (which is an admission that they commit more crimes), it doesn't matter. THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY.

THEY HAVE TO GO BACK.

You want to know the rate of which illegals commit crimes.....100%. They are breaking the law by being in the country illegally.

How is this true? They're actively committing a crime just by being here.

100% of illegal aliens have committed a crime.

The fact they have committed a crime by entering illegally would be substantially greater.

Yeah, but we can't deport regular criminals. Believe me, if it were an option, we'd go for it.

The simple fact they are here illegally means they start out in the red.

I guess if you redefine the word "substantial"...

Liberal logic completely ignoring the fact that whether its 1 or 1 million, it is a crime that WOULD NOT have been committed if the illegal were not her.

Where did these numbers come from? Can you link that study please?

There are roughly 330 million people in the US. If the odds of being killed by an illegal alien is 1 in 10.9 billion, that would mean that 1 US citizen is murdered by an illegal alien roughly every 33 years.

Maybe my shorthand math is the wrong approach here, but that conclusion seems virtually impossible. I need to see how they got to their conclusion. Please provide the source material and I will gladly eat crow if their methodology is sound

Why does this even matter if they are here illegally? None of them should be here, and the ones that are breaking laws (whether 1 or 100,000) should be the first to go.
