re: for that matter commit crimes since over 1/3 of our federal prisons are stocked with illegals. Do you have a link to that? And are they in prison because they are illegals or for some other crime? Serious question. John

RE:"But you sure sound convincing! I no more like illegal immigration than you do but let's stick to the facts" Well you sure don't sound convincing at all. First of all, I didn't mention Latinos specifically. Secondly, anyone would be a fool to think NO illegals are in gangs or for that matter commit crimes since over 1/3 of our federal prisons are stocked with illegals. The only other gang members that potentially could be illegal are SE Asians. However, most of them are first generation Americans born here. Either way illegals do not constitute an important percentage of gangs. If they did, it would be easy to stop the gang problem in American cities. Simply round them up and deport them. BTW did you know that gangs are an American phenomenon not typically found in Latin or Asian countries? As for illegals constituting 1/3 of the federal prison population, I don't know where you are getting your numbers but here is what CA is reporting: "Estimating the State's Costs to Incarcerate and Supervise Undocumented Felons. The CDC estimates that about 14 percent of the state's inmate and parole populations consist of undocumented felons. Using these figures, the Department of Finance (DOF) estimates that the costs to the state for these offenders will be $447 million in the current year and $503 million in the budget year (for the budget year, the amount includes $468 million for the CDC and $35 million for the Youth Authority) as shown in Figure 16.
