Most foreign prisoners in US are Mexicans - report
By Valeria Perasso
BBC Mundo, Los Angeles
Foreign prisoners cost US taxpayers up to $1.6 BILLION per year, the report found
Almost seven in every 10 foreign prisoners in US jails are Mexicans, a US government report has revealed.
A report by the US Government Accountability Office also states that between 2005 and 2010, there was a 7% increase in the number of foreign inmates in federal prisons.
Local prisons, have seen a 35% increase in the number of jailed foreigners.
The GAO reports that 68% of the 55,000 foreigners in US prisons are Mexican nationals.
In total, foreigners make up more than 25% of the US prison population.
Some fear that the new report will put pressure on the government to adopt stricter anti-immigration laws.
Criminal records
Most of the prisoners were convicted for immigration offences (65%), followed by drug-related crimes and drug trafficking.
The GAO estimates that foreign prisoners cost US taxpayers up to $1.6bn (£972m) per year.

"Some are detained simply because of [a] traffic misdemeanour," Jennifer Allen, of the NGO Borderaction, told the BBC.
"In some states, such as Arizona, a traffic misdemeanour may result in deportation."Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

we wouldn't have to deal with these criminals now.NO AMNESTY
