Jack doesn’t harp on immigration much as you know. He has never had a problem with “legal” immigration. He’s always had a problem with “illegal” immigration unlike the current administration that have put blocks in place to stop deportations. He does find this interesting. Immigration falls … crime falls. This deserves more study. Obami’s administration should look very hard at this. Jack doubts he will though. Aw shit let’s just have a beer and talk about it! Come on Obami … give us some hope and we might even save a little change.

yea check these out for crime

A marked drop in Phoenix-area crime coincides with the recession and a drop in the number of illegal immigrants in Arizona.

Phoenix has seen a 25 percent decline in the number of crimes during the first five months of 2009 compared to the same time period in 2007 when the economy began to slow. Violent crime in Phoenix is down 12 percent, according crime statistics from the Phoenix Police Department.

The Mesa Police Department reports a 19 percent decrease in total crimes for the first half of 2009 versus the first half of 2007, including a 10 percent drop in violent crime. Tempe has seen a 25 percent total drop.

At the same time, the state’s illegal immigrant population has decreased by as much as one-third thanks to the down U.S. economy, tougher enforcement polices by the federal government and Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, as well as the state’s employer sanctions law which goes after businesses who hire undocumented workers, said Steven Camarota, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

CIS estimates Arizona’s illegal immigrant population has gone from 579,000 in 2007 to 388,000 this year — 191,000-person drop.

Guess it’s not really rocket science though. Take 191,000 illegals of the streets and crime should go DOWN! Take the rest of illegals of the streets and it should continue to go DOWN!
