LULAC Leader: US to Blame for Repeated Arrests of Illegals

Says law abiding illegals are 'corrupted by American habits'

A new report indicates that the average illegal immigrant is arrested six times in the United States, but the League of United Latin American citizens says it's not their fault.



It's actually, according to LULAC Dallas chapter president Jesse Diaz, our fault.



"They're just picking up our American bad habits," Diaz told 1200 WOAI news. "If we want to blame anybody we have to blame ourselves, because we're not good examples."



But Diaz stresses he does not support crimes committed by illegal aliens, and says if any illegal commits a crime in the U.S., he or she should be deported.



The report came from the office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Justice Department. It looked at 100 immigrants who had served time in prison, and found that 73 of them had been re-arrested after their release.


You don't hear about the cheatings and the shootings and the carjackings and killings and robbery in Mexico," Diaz said. "But they come to the United States, and those people in Mexico say 'wow, I don't believe he did it. He was a bad guy over here!' But they pick up the bad habits n North America."



He says the illegals 'pick up American bad habits.'



"The alcohol, the drugs, the womanizing, all of the bad things we Americans do, these people are picking up those habits," Diaz said.
