A new study “released Monday shows that immigrants in California are, in fact, far less likely than U.S.-born Californians are to commit crime. While people born abroad make up about 35% of California’s adult population, they account for only about 17% of the adult prison population, the report by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) showed. Indeed, among men ages 18 to 40
I read about one in La Habra, Beach and Imperial, 10am-12n.
I’m with Greenhut, start deporting these citizen criminals and we’ll all be safer – finding a country shouldn’t be a problem – Iraq & Afganistan are avialable.
I agree with Art. Santa Ana, for example, used to be a terrible place to live in the 1950’s and 60’s but it’s a swell place to raise kids and educate them now that the illegals have arrived! Let’s open the borders and really turn this city into paradise.
Hispanics are Hispanics even if legal US Citizens. The article is political correctly written.
The majority of the crime is committed by the Hispanic kids born to their illegal parents a.k.a. anchor babies who are for all practical reasons Hispanics and separatists.
So do not get euphoric Pedroza.
I think Art is right! we need more illegals entering this country to receive MORE our social benefits and send out MORE dollars to Mexico.
We should also offer a free shuttle bus ride service from the border because illegals will reduce the crime rate in this country. Later who knows, we can fire all police officers and boder patrols because illegals can do their jobs even better with lower pay.
Americans pay a far higher price for our vindictive nature than we realize. NO other civilized country imprisons drug addicts and mentally ill persons the way that we do. Imprisonment is far more costly than education or treatment programs. We should all be ashamed. But go ahead and blame illegal immigrants for all our problems, it is after all, the American way.
“But go ahead and blame illegal immigrants for all our problems”
#5, as I totally agree with your comment, I must say that the foregoing statement was totally stupid.
I don’t know about drug addicts and mentally ill patients but illegals are becoming more burdensome for our slowing economy. With dollars in a free-fall mode, many are concerned about health of our economy.
I think statements from #5, are only partially correct. #6, you are missing the point.
“#6, you are missing the point.”
Since I am not a socialist or religious freak #7, I am not missing any point.
However, I do agree that about 75% of imprisoned Americans are there because they committed moral and religiously based crimes like drugs, prostitution etc.
For that reason we are not any different from the Taliban and that is why we are fighting them. [Not because of terrorism.]
By doing so we are competing with the Taliban.
Please notice that Bush is reborn Christian Jesus freak!
No one ever blamed these 75% of wrongfully imprisoned on the illegals.
The socialist and religious freaks will always scapegoat to achieve social purity.
#8, Are you saying immoral crimes are not a crime?
Where do we release these people to? ie. child molesters?
” Competing against Taliban..” have you ever lived in a Muslim country?
I am little confused on your kind remarks on christians.
“I am little confused on your kind remarks on christians.” ….. Yes you are #9!
“#8, Are you saying immoral crimes are not a crime?”….. Absolutly!
“Where do we release these people to? ie. child molesters?” ….. To Catholic Church!
“Competing against Taliban..” have you ever lived in a Muslim country? ….. Yes!.. Have you?
#10, if the child molesters are released to…. as you said, a catholic church, what would be the consequences that you are seeking to achieve?
Well, at least we are in agreement that poster 10 is just lost in his/her own world. Do you see what you beget Art? It is not just social information and input…do you understand that now? That’s why there is a PROCESS IN GOVERNMENT. Without that process, we are all lost.
“Well, at least we are in agreement that poster 10 is just lost in his/her own world.”
#12 You may be in an agreement with the status quo, brought by socialists and religious freaks, but you are far from an agreement on the realty.
Problem is that the issues in hand cannot be discussed with socialists and religious freaks because their only defenses are irrelevant emotional arguments like child molestation, hate crimes and racism.
Only in the USA can a boy 17 and girl 16 have sex without violating any laws but as soon as boy turns 18 he will be arrested for the statutory rape and child molestation forced to register as sexual predator for life if he continues having sexual relationship with the same girl.
That is religious Talibanism!
In any civilized world which is not dominated by the moralists — no crime was committed.
Only in the USA can 19 boy/girl be old enough to die for his country as soldier but not old enough to have glass of bear.
That is religious Talibanism!
Only in the USA can terminally ill person who has 3 month to live be denied pain killing drugs for a fear of the drug addiction.
That is religious Talibanism!
Only in the Santa Ana USA are massage parlors outlaw.
That is religious Talibanism!
Only in the Santa Ana USA are Hookah parlors outlaw.
That is religious Talibanism!
Only in the Santa Ana USA is medicinal marijuana outlaw even though the people overwhelmingly voted yes for legalization!
That is religious Talibanism!
Al that is moralism and not crime but if you violate this religious laws you will be part of the 2,500,000 imprisoned statistic.
That is religious Talibanism!
#13, your freedom can be only found in solitary confinement , North Korea.
I think you have too much …… time, roof over the head, plenty of warm food and hot shower or maybe even your own transportation.
You don’t really know how to appreciate this country and people here. Yes there is a need for improvements but I would not call this a “Talibanism”!
If everything is allowed without any limitations you will creat a total chaos and multitude of lost street dogs roaming around our street.
“#13, your freedom can be only found in solitary confinement , North Korea.”
Funny mentioning North Korea, the most oppressive nation which has less imprisoned people per capita then has USA.
Now when torture is legal in USA, and USA Marines are trowing puppies [today puppies tomorrow my children] to their death, I am confined and free here — same as is 2,500,000 religious prisoners.
“If everything is allowed without any limitations you will creat a total chaos and multitude of lost street dogs roaming around our street.” ….. please do not plagiarize from Marx and Lenin manifesto.
Seeing people as dogs is a typical socialistic and religious concept.
You should also advocate spaying and neutering people including the dog tags as an ID.
FYI, the USA has a constitution, calling your crapola — the inalienable rights in course of pursuit of happiness.
All this socialistic imprisonment for moral violations started with PROHIBITION, about 60 years ago, and prior to that the USA was model of the freedom around the world.
Marijuana was plentiful, cocaine was in the Coca Cola and prostitution was legal.
#15,#16 since you are saying North Korea has less imprisoned people per capita than us, please you should get your passport today and go see your uncle Kim.
Speaking of crime and immigrants, why hasn’t anyone on Orange Juice said anything about Carlos Eduardo Tello, a 53 year old Guatamalan immigrant who was convicted of continuous child molestation and jumped off of the Santa Ana Courthouse building to his death? That seems like a pretty big story. Does OJ have anything to say?
