In NJ U.S. Citizens Are Twice As Likely To Land In Prison As Legal And Illegal Immigrants

A study has come out showing that in NJ U.S. citizens are twice as likely to land in prison as legal and illegal immigrants. The liberals have been using this as a counter to the conservative argument that illegal immigration increases crime. In this case both sides are wrong. First of all if you are an illegal immigrant then you have already broken the law and are a criminal which cancels out the liberal argument. Secondly the conservatives have been focusing on a faulty argument when the real issue is that illegal immigrants are draining services that are paid with taxes collected from legal immigrants and US citizens.

BlueJersey, a liberal blog, stated this on their site: "Contrary to what the Donald Cresitellos of the state would have you believe, citizens are twice as likely as immigrants to wind up in behind bars in New Jersey." Mayor Donald Cresitello is the mayor of Morristown who created much controversy when he applied for a federal program under which his town's police force would receive training and the authority to enforce immigration law. Whether Cresitello made this argument or not is irrelevant. Every constitutional law needs to be enforced or else it diminishes the ability of the police force to enforce all laws. Once we start to nick pick which laws should be enforced and which ones don't we fore go the reason why we have laws in the first place.

Immigration laws need to be enforced. If you have a problem with the law then deal with the law itself, don't attack the ability of the police to enforce it.
