Thread: Crime Wave (Excerpt) (Also Statistics)

So, what are you saying? Illegal immigration is not having quite the impact on our country we thought it was? Is Snopes.com the absolute authority about every thing ? I am not trying to be sarcastic reptile, I am just trying to understand, how any stastistic can really be 100 percent since these people are suppose to be living in the shadows, aren't they? I would think everything is an estimate anyway, nothing is 100 percent right, I would say, if anything, these numbers are running on the low side of the percentages.

Yes nittygritty I agree with you. Maybe a section on the forum where we can post crimes being reported in the media and other agencies by illegals would be my suggestion plus the addition of the many reports already on the books. This way readers can see for themselves the magnitude of this criminal activity.

The title of the report is:

2006 (First Quarter) INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants

Wasn't the INS closed in 2003? How can they be doing reports with the FBI if they no longer exist? On the fbi.gov website they have a list of all crime statistic reports by year, and no report of that title even exists. For that matter, the only report for 2006 is a preliminary crime report as they only compile reports for years that have been completed.

So, what are you saying? Illegal immigration is not having quite the impact on our country we thought it was?

How do you figure that I'm saying illegal immigration is not having an impact? Of course it does, I see it every single day where I live. I have had a vehicle stolen by an illegal alien, I have had one nearly crash his car into my house while driving drunk. I know all about the impact criminal aliens are having on our country.

All I am saying is we need to be sure that what we post as being so-called statistical information come from reports that actually exist.

I am sorry reptile, I really wasn't trying to be sarcastic when I wrote that. I only meant to say are we being mislead to some degree as to what the impact of illegal immigration is to our country? I would appreciate posting only the true statistics, do we have any that are the gospel?

If you have a bone to chew with these statistics, than may I suggest you take it up with the authors of the website that complied them?
