A million violent crimes were committed by "illegal" immigrants? Seems a bit high, J.D.

'Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate'

"An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes."
