Immigration Prosecutions Up and So Is Violent Crime

By Sean Sirrine

ADVERTISEMENTS
These statistics, (Immigration prosecutions up 75% of last year and 50% of last month) seem quite surreal. Especially, when you read that the increase is due to increased charging of minor crimes.

Maybe some of you think that is good. You want to get the illegal immigrants out of the country. Sure, but maybe you should worry about these statistics first (From Fox News):


Murders rose 4.8 percent, meaning there were more than 16,900 victims in 2005. That would be the most since 1998 and the largest percentage increase in 15 years.


. . . . .


The overall increase in violent crime was modest, 2.5 percent, which equates to more than 1.4 million crimes. Nevertheless, that was the largest percentage increase since 1991.


Criminal justice experts said the statistics reflect U.S. complacency in fighting crime, a product of dramatic declines in the 1990s and the abandonment of effective programs that emphasized prevention, putting more police officers on the street and controlling the spread of guns.
