YOU TRY LEADING A LIFE OF CRIME AND WORKING 100 HOURS A WEEK:
US Study challenges immigration fears (One News, Feb 26, 2008)
Immigrants are far less likely than the average US-born citizen to commit crime in California, the most populous state in the United States, according to a newly-released report.Posted by Orrin Judd at February 25, 2008 10:52 PMPeople born outside the United States make up about 35% of California's adult population but account for about 17% of the adult prison population, the report by the Public Policy Institute of California showed.
According to the report's authors the findings suggest that long-standing fears of immigration as a threat to public safety are unjustified. The report also noted that US-born adult men are incarcerated at a rate more than 2 1/2 times greater than that of foreign-born men.
Yes, never speak of the "truth" that immigrants work 100 hours per week. Come on, you know it's true, look at the proof. It's right here, in this blog. That's why they are not criminals, other than illegally entering the country. But that's because of their great work ethic!!!! Hooray for us, boo for the bad guys!!!!

Funny that.
Yet another swipe at the strawman that anti-illegal-immigrant = anti-immigrant.
Yawn.
