Anechoic, I can't reply directly, but that goes back to my original question.
> If you are a male between the ages of 14 and 17 who is convicted of a violent felony, your chances of getting re-arrested are better than 80%
Why is this true of felons, but 80% of illegal immigrants don't commit felonies?
- Anechoic 14y agoWhy is this true of felons, but 80% of illegal immigrants don't commit felonies? I wonder if perhaps the added deterrence of getting kicked out of the country has an effect at reducing felonies among undocumented immigrants. Also, immigrants in general tend to be, as a group, more determined to better themselves than most which is why they're here in the first place. Plus you have things like parole restrictions that limit where a felon can go, move, visit and work.
