Не надо ссылок на скандал. Дайте ссылки на новые, уточненные данные по % нелегалов в тюремной системе СА.

Mistakes, Lies and Prison Statistics

A few politicians and many, many conservative talk show hosts (who honestly ought to know better) have taken up the cry that “nearly one third of all inmates crowding our prisons are illegal aliens.” Sometimes, those citing this number will make a slightly more modest claim: that 29% of all prisoners are illegals, or 27%, or some other hugely disproportionate number.

This claim is so dishonest, so wide of the mark, so utterly unsubstantiated that the people who continue to recycle it ought to apologize, and acknowledge their mistake – or else they’re participating in a deliberate lie.

Here are the facts, easily available from the FBI, the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, the General Accounting Office, the Congressional Budget Office, or any other reputable source:

Among inmates in federal prisons, it’s true that a highly disproportionate number of prisoners have been classified as “non-citizens” or “criminal aliens.” Many of these immigrants turn up in federal prison because of problems with their immigration status (surprise!) or because they’re involved with the interstate or international drug trade.

Taking the total state-federal prison population (2,193,798 ) and the total number of non-citizens in both systems (122,708 ), the actual percentage of “criminal aliens” in our prisons amounts to 5.5% --- not even remotely close to the 29% or “one third” claimed by clownish demagogues.

In any event, with a total of 5.5% of the prison population, including both legal and illegal immigrants, it’s virtually certain that illegals are actually under-represented among prisoners. The lowest current estimate for “undocumented immigrants” is 12 million--- or 4% of the national population. There’s little chance that these illegals represent more than – or even as much as --- 4% of our total prison population.
