Wellllll, how does that violence rate relate to the immigrant rate and what 
% of the crime is directly related to immigrants?

Over the last 20 years, the violent crime rate went through the roof in the 
county I just moved from.  The crime rate can be directly chalked up to the 
homeless factor (court ordered "fix" in L.A. and Marin counties resulted in 
busloads of folks shipped north with a map and directions to the local 
welfare office) and the mass of illegals from Mexico and Central America who 
made their way north to grow.  And, dare I say, the "import" of gang members 
from Georgia and the Florida panhandle since we are no longer allowed to 
mention "people of color."

And, no, I don't have a link to that.  What I have is seeing the numbers, in 
person, since I had access.  Family in high places <g>
