re: 90% of all illegals haven't committed a crime

That's not all that matters, their net contribution to the GDP matters as well.

If that were the only analysis, I guess we should go ahead and repeal the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments.

People like to think that illegals commit fewer crimes than regular citizens (outside of the obvious unlawful immigration), and often quote ridiculously low crime statistics for them. However, many states don't bother to track the immigration status of their criminals, or they may track it on the state level, but not at the local level (like in sanctuary cities). Sometimes they only take the immigration status for particular crimes that require them to contact the INS.

The point is, you have to extrapolate to get your crime statistics, so that is why you see wildly different crime stats about illegals, ranging form they commit only 1/3 the number of crimes that legal residents commit to they commit 3 times as many crimes...
