Fewer illegal aliens, less crime

This isn't much more than specualtion because it's so hard to try and prove a cause and effect relationship. One of the better cases to point at was Prince William, Virginia. As I recall, after passing tougn anti-illegal alien laws the illegals started leaving. Prince William experienced a crime drop and an adjacent sanctuary county saw an almost identical rise.

Boot them

The latest FBI crime reports show an overall decrease in violent crime around the Phoenix area in 2007 and some observers believe it's the result of illegal aliens leaving Arizona for other states, like Texas.
   
Based on data from 18 jurisdictions in metro Phoenix, violent crimes and property crimes both decreased 0.3 percent.
   
The city of Phoenix saw the same decrease in total crimes as the overall area, with a 0.3 percent decrease in total violent crimes and a 0.3 percent decrease in total property crimes.

Texas had over 1,000 more violent crimes, while violent crimes in Arizona dropped by over 750.  Some attribute the drop to Arizona's Employer Sanction's Law. The bill's author, State Rep. Russell Pearce, said the numbers don't surprise him.

"It's a direct correlation," said Pearce. "As our numbers decrease in the area of illegal aliens, you will see the violent crime rate decrease."
