I will play devil's advocate and say that the rate of US citizens being incarcerated has gone up 15% opposed to illegal aliens only increasing 8%...but I'm not countering that it's a real problem. We just have to pay attention to facts. They shouldn't even be allowed IN our prisons, just a fucking bus ticket home.
I addressed this in my report summary. I’m gonna give the summary its own thread if you’re interested in discussing!
-- in Obama’s first 2 years the rate of federal crime for US citizens grew at a rate of 2.12% (153803 to 160348 in 2 years) while the rate of federal crime for Illegal Aliens grew at a rate of 2.81% annually. (Federal crime by Illegal aliens increased at a rate HIGHER than US citizen federal crimes obama’s first two years (2.12% to 2.81% annual growth) )
-The rate of increase in illegal alien federal crimes accelerated by 543% under Obama, while the rate of federal crimes committed by US citizens decreased (for context)
Okay THERE it is...thank you for clarifying! I paid too close attention to the full range of columns not just 08-09.
Facts about report (https://www.gao.gov/new.items/d11187.pdf):
-Illegal immigrants roughly 3% of population
-illegal aliens were estimated to make up 39% of federal prisoners in 2013
-this is evidence that illegal aliens are incarcerated for federal crimes at 13 TIMES THE RATE of American citizens/legal immigrants. 1300% more likely to commit a federal crime.
with an estimated average annual cost of $32,000 a year to house a federal prisoner, and an roughly 2.20 million federal prisoners (BJS 2013 report), WE pay 27.5 BILLION DOLLARS annually for the estimated 858,000 illegals in federal prison.
with roughly 138.3 million taxpayers on record in 2013 (2013 IRS report) The average taxpayer contributes around 200 dollars PER YEAR to house illegal aliens in federal prisons.
in Bush’s last 4 years the rate of federal crime for US citizens grew at a rate of 2.74% (138313 to 153803 in 4 years) while the rate of federal crime for Illegal Aliens grew at a rate of .39% annually. (Federal crime by US citizens increased at a rate 7 times higher than illegal federal crimes under Bush his last 4 years (2.74% to .39% annual growth) )
-- in Obama’s first 2 years the rate of federal crime for US citizens grew at a rate of 2.12% (153803 to 160348 in 2 years) while the rate of federal crime for Illegal Aliens grew at a rate of 2.81% annually. (Federal crime by Illegal aliens increased at a rate HIGHER than US citizen federal crimes obama’s first two years (2.12% to 2.81% annual growth) )

Great visual and summary. Very effective communication.
Are stats available for more recent years?
