Burning Atlanta

While deciding whether or not to pursue this agreement one of the things the Sheriff did was an audit of his jail to see just how many illegal aliens they were holding and what crimes they’d committed.

Here is the list…

DUI — 25

Aggravated DUI — 24

Sex offenses — 22

Drug offenses — 18

Murder — 7

Burglary — 7

Gun offenses — 4

Theft — 3

Home invasion — 3

Robbery — 2

Other offenses — 7

Now these numbers may not seem terribly high but its important to remember that Lake County is a semi-rural area with pretty low crime rates.  In fact, according to the Sheriff (5:12 of video #1) without illegal aliens the murder rate wold have been cut in half.  Let me repeat that, illegal aliens accounted for half of all murders in Lake County Illinois.

Now another complaint of the open borders set is that Mexicans and Hispanics are being picked on or somehow discriminated against when immigration law is actually enforced.  These following numbers show just how laughable that idea really is.  This is a list the origins of foreign born criminals in the Lake County Jail…

Mexico — 105
Poland — 5
Puerto Rico — 4
El Salvador –3
Canada — 2
Honduras — 2
Philippines — 1
Columbia — 1
Vietnam — 1
Pakistan — 1
Guatemala — 1
Cuba — 1
Russia — 1
Germany — 1
Barbados — 1
