INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented ImmigrantsNow before some of you become apoplectic we admit that we are unable to find the original report that these statistics are reputed to come from, but they're literally repeated all over the Internet; which doesn't make them true. Even sites like Snopes.com fail to refute them and other sites like the non-partisan Center for Immigration Studies seem to confirm at least some of the stats in a report entitled Crime and the Illegal Alien. What is undeniably true is that there is a link between illegal immigration (no matter where they're from) and crime.
2006 (First Quarter) INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants
CRIME STATISTICS 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.
86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens.
75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.
24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually
53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.
50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens from south of the border.
71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or “transport coyotes".
47% of cited/stopped drivers in California have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 47%, 92% are illegal aliens.
63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 63%, 97% are illegal aliens
66% of cited/stopped drivers in New Mexico have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 66% 98% are illegal aliens.
BIRTH STATISTICS 380,000 plus “anchor babies” were born in the U.S. in 2005 to illegal alien parents, making 380,000 babies automatically U.S.citizens.
97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid by the American taxpayers.
66% plus of all births in California are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers
What we do know is that Albuquerque has a serious property crime problem. Back in June, The Albuquerque Journal reported (Subscription) that 2006 was a "banner year" for property crime. Over 5,000 vehicles were stolen and more than 6,000 homes were broken into. That's almost 14 vehicles per day and almost 17 homes per day.
Our Eyes behind the badge (and sometimes on it) tell us that APD believes that an auto theft ring based out of Mexico is behind a large number of the thefts. We'd be willing to bet that a large number of those involved aren't exactly in this country legally. After all, you don't need to be a legal U.S. resident to get a driver's license in the state.
To make Albuquerque even more inviting, APD's SOP prohibits pursuit unless the suspect is exhibiting reckless behavior before their emergency equipment is engaged. What's worse is that officers believe that criminals know that APD will not pursue.
(Sidebar)What that means to all of us is if APD officer spots a criminal stealing your brand new F-150 and engages his lights, when the suspect flees in your still being paid for pick-up they must let them go. Now that you've recovered from shock, let us say that again. They have to let them go!
For some reason the most commonly stolen vehicle seems to be a Ford Truck. Good for your local Ford dealer - not so good for you or your insurance rates. If you own an F-150, F-250, or F-350, it'd be a good idea to hide it in your garage; except in the case of a F-350 which probably needs to be hidden in a barn.
(End Sidebar)
Consequently, when a crook sees the red and blue lights of an APD cruiser, they simply keep going. Now if it's the solid reds of the State Police or BCSO, criminals know they've got a problem on their hands. One thing that's absolutely sure, if you create an environment where criminals know that they have a chance they're gonna' to take advantage of it.
It's no different in the immigration game. When illegal aliens enter this country from anywhere - Mexico, France, Central America, even Canada, where do you think they'll go? Where would you go? We'd head to the place with the most available jobs or the most number of potential victims if the crime connection holds, and the least likelihood that we'd get caught. That means sanctuary cities like Albuquerque has become thanks to the new APD SOP.

...wow. Once I recover from shock I know I will be outraged.
Yeah yeah, I'll get over it blah blah blah
This is great information that I as a citizen never knew. I think more citizens, both of Albuquerque and of the state should know about this web site so they too can understand how politics affect their lives.
The eye should place ads in the various newspapers giving his web site and a brief explainantion of the infomation provided.
I would start with my school's newspaper; THE DAILY LOBO, ALIBI, THE SOUTH VALLEY INK AND JOURNAL AND TRIBUNE.
Just take out a few ads in these publications and you will increase your readership consideribly.
The citizens have a right to know what is going on behind closed doors in govt!
Look at the facts. Start the spin Smarty and Ray, get John on this immediately. Twist the truth and fabricate new facts. Its the APD (Chief) way. Good for you Albuquerque. If Smarty were governor just think how he could screw things up state wide!
A few large billboards with the web address around the city would be great!
And while all of this is going on, the FBI and ICE are having internal disputes and are failing to protect our borders so who knows who is coming across. The stats don't surprise me. Illegal activities need to be financed and it is your vehicles that helps fund them just like identity theft funds terrorism...
give me a break. does anyone ever remember 9-11? now we r letting illegals come and go as they please. if they want to come into this country they need to earn the right. they come across the border and they think they have the same constitutional rights...GIVE ME A BREAK!
I don't give a shit what any of you immigration activists say. If people can't go through the normal process(as screwed up as it may be) to become LEGAL citizens of this country, THEY DON'T BELONG HERE. Since when (aside from Albuquerque and this sorry administration) did the law become obsolete? I for one am SICK AND TIRED of watching MY hard earned money go to these people who suck our resources dry. I am not racist, but I AM an american, and I am proud of this country, and I'm fed up with having to step aside so someone who's here illegaly can get better treatment. I totally believe the statistics on this post. There is no doubt in my mind that if we built a huge wall around this country and deported every sinlge person who is here illegaly, our crime rates would plummet. While many come here for better opportunity, the vast majority come here to commit CRIMES of opportunity. This country is just waiting to be plucked, and these criminals know it. So to all you pro-immigration and pro-sanctuary people out there---I hope it's you the illegal with no driver's license and no insurance hits, so YOUR rates go up, and not mine. I hope it's YOUR truck that gets ripped off, and not mine. I hope it's YOUR house that gets burglarized. YOU want them here...YOU suffer the consequences. I think APD shold call ICE on every single one of them. Period.
"Give me your tired, your weak, your huddled masses"...this is the welcome people got when they entered this country LEGALLY. This country was built by immigrants. Not ILLEGAL immigrants. People, like my great grandparents, waited in line for days to get the right to live in this country. They learned the language. They worked hard to make a better life for themselves, and the generations that followed. They EARNED the right to live here. Whatever happened to that? Now these people simply walk across our borders with thier hands out expecting us to take care of them. They come here because countries like Mexico are so corrupt, that their citizens suffer tremeandously. But that's not OUR fault. If you want to live and be a productive citizen in this country, YOU HAVE TO EARN IT. Prove that you're not going to be a criminal. Prove that you can learn the language and go to school and get an education so you can get a good job and not be a leach on the system. If you can't do that, then you don't belong here.
A/P story:
NEWARK, N.J. -- An illegal immigrant accused in the execution-style deaths of three students pleaded not guilty to the crimes Friday.
Jose Carranza, 28, of Peru, surrendered directly to Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker Thursday, and was arraigned Friday morning
HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ILLEGAL DOING THE JOB AMERICANS DONT WANT TO DO/ IN THIS EXECUTING INNOCENTS FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN HE IS A S**T BAG.
"They have to let them go!"
I think you may have interpreted this new policy in a kind of weird way. Are you saying that if someone is caught stealing your car, the question of whether they live here legally or illegally, will actually have a bearing on whether or not they're arrested and prosecuted for the car theft?
My understanding is that APD simply isn't going after illegal immigrants over _for_ illegal immigration, but for any other sort of crime, forceful action is still an option on the table. Was there some obscure and hidden order (which even _you_ haven't cited yet) that they also release suspects for other types of crimes (e.g. theft), _if_ they have reason to believe the person is here illegally? Sort of a two-wrongs-make-a-right kind of thing?
That's whacked. But I also don't believe it. I skeptical that you believe it, too.
The republican party might help with ads and billboards?
Sloppy, the one biggie with illegals is that they DO NOT come to court -- you cant deny them bond
Can anyone please post just one name of an illegal alien who has committed repeated crimes in the Albuquerque area. This is important information and we need to get it out. We know there are thousands of illegal aliens who have been repeatedly arrested for DUI, domestic violence,car theft etc. If we can start getting the names posted, we can verify their status and that will make it an even bigger issue. We will be able to go to crime victims and get their voices heard about what it is like to be victimized by illegal aliens who have been repeatedly arrested, but by APD policy, the officer never called INS. Please help and post the names.
careful with that - there are plenty out there but you are going to find that a unch of them were in custody and ICE didnt put an immigration hold on them... ICE/INS has to put a hold on em' and no matter if they are notified by MDC, the PD or by smoke signal doesnt change the need for a hold to be placed.
That is what needs to be checked. Lets get this information out there and find out who is dropping the ball and when. The public deserves to know the WHOLE story.
A poster above stated:
"Incited [sic] hatred for law abiding immigrants, illegal or not, will not accomplish anything"
Are you coming off of your meth high??? Nobody's inciting hatred for law abiding immigrants....we're saying we hate illegal law breaking immigrants. Whether they're Irish or Mexican who cares, if they're illegal and committing criminal offenses FUCK THEM! If you think this position is harsh you should hear what legal & naturalized aliens have to say about these scumbags....it would make "extraordinary" rendition seem like a time out.
This is a simple issue. Any costs associated with processing these people should be backbilled and be the burden of their home country in the form of trade debits, embargoes, or import tariffs.
JHC wake the fuck up will ya???
here is how Mexico deals with the same issues/ from Assoc. press:
AP, August 16, 2007
Mexican authorities are deporting many of the thousands of Central American migrants who were stranded when a railroad closed.
The government sent hundreds of police and soldiers Tuesday to clear out the U.S.-bound migrants, who for decades have hopped freight cars on the Chiapas-Mayab railway.
In July, U.S.-based Genesee & Wyoming decided to stop operating the Chiapas-Mayab line. Company spokeswoman Jeanette Rosado said damage to railway tracks caused by a 2005 hurricane forced the pullout.
She also said train-hopping migrants delayed operations.
Unfortunately, Central American migrants keep streaming into towns where they once climbed onto the trains. Thousands have been camping along rail lines, waiting for trains that will never come. Extra buses had been contracted to transport deportees from immigration detention centers to the border.
When Governor (wannabe President) Bill said that it was OK for illegals to get drivers licenses, it was for public safety, because now they would be able to get auto insurance and be more responsible (although still illegal) members of society and we'd all be better off. I see that according to the stats, apparently these hard-working, "just want to improve their lives" illegal immigrants are not availing themselves of the Guv's largess and continue to live outside the law (illegally here, not licensed to drive, driving without insurance, etc).
Yet I'm supposed to believe all these liberal immigration activists that most of these illegals are paying taxes, contributing to the economy, doing the work that none of our pampered teenagers would deign to dirty their hands with. The reality is that these people are typically paid a low wage, in cash, off the books, and they send most of it home to their home countries (ever wonder why the billboards advertising money-wiring services are in Spanish??). As far as our teenagers (or any other folks trying to start at the bottom) not doing those menial jobs, it's hard for them to get on when they "can't speak the language of the kitchen", or the construction site, or the hotel services, etc.
Well I don't believe the above-mentioned activists and I feel that ANY efforts to provide sanctuary to these people is wrong, and I will not vote FOR anyone who has worked to those ends. That would be The Guv, The Mayor, The Mayer, and if Brad doesn't denounce his 2001 vote, acknowledge it's stupidity, and work to reverse it....I won't be voting for him either.
I am Hispanic, born in this country as were my parents and grandparents. To the people who are afraid of sounding bigoted, or racist? Most of my hispanic friends, neighbors and relatives all say the same thing, GET RID OF THEM! The value of my neighborhood has gone down, I hear gunshots every night, there are cars parked in every front yard up and down the street, and the whole of the south valley has become Tijuana, or Juarez...the only new business' in the area are Taqueria's, Panaderia's or the guy pushing his cart up and down the streets, which if you have been to Juarez lately is straight out of MX. Trust me, if I went there, and started my own business, there'd be officials all over my ass, not looking the other way like they do here.
Yes I understand some come here and actually work. Yes, I understand the majority are treated like shit when they do, underpaid, shit jobs, etc, BUT they are still here, ILLEGALLY. What part of that do people not understand? If they are here illegally, they need to be made to leave. Giving birth should not be a free pass either. Either keep the kid and put it up for adoption, or deport it with it's mother and only allow it back in when it's mother is legal, and this shit of mommy staggering across to give birth will stop. Illegals are a drain on any country, but NM doesn't have enough money to support the people that are legal, much less the illegals, and it will get no better until the laws are enforced. Most of my family have moved now, we are all getting the hell out of ABQ.
You speak of "it" being born here & "it" being sent back. I would remind you that we are discussing people & children, not puppies.
No matter what you call them they have no businees being automatic citizens whom include the entire family in some quasi-legal limbo that costs the American middle class yet more money. Sort of reminds me of the ''Salud'' at Presbyterian hospital bill board along Paseo -- it shows a car seat and states "Free car seat" with the delivery of your baby at their hospital. Well, it aint free, the Salud program and other programs like it are funded totally by US! Google the stats for hospitals in border towns closing, theres a reason for it happening and it aint because Americans arent paying their fair share and more....
I meant it as in it, boy or girl. Are you just trying to find something to be pissed about? If so, then try the fact that our taxes are higher, our standard of living is lower, and our property values are dropping like a rock because of all the illegals in this state. And although I speak spanish, I resent having to order my meals at restaurants in spanish because my server can't speak english. This is America people, not MX, and I'd bet if the canadians started coming in the way the mexicans do, and making you have to learn french you'd resent it.
The exception, is the boat people from vietnam. They came here, learned the language, got jobs - legally, pay their taxes, have insurance, got their citizenship, and they for the most part, work their asses off. They are now having to learn spanish too because they can't deal with the masses here in NM. And even they are leaving in droves and moving elsewhere. So who would you rather let into the country?
I am hispanic, as I said, and I vote, and I pay taxes, and as far back as I know, my family are citizens and legal. I say get them out, so we can take care of ourselves. The person who wrote about presbyterian salud? Right on the money. I would like some of the available care to go to people who are legal, not people who are just here to live off of the rest of us........
I totally agree. I just hope everyone will pay close attention when it comes time to vote! Pay attention to these type of issues and vote those who put illegal immigrants rights ahead americans out of public office.
Those are some great posts.
Are you listening Marty and Ray?
Oh I forgot, Ray is just a GOOD Soldier, doing what he is told.
So are you listening Marty?
Oh I forgot, Marty is pandering to the special interests groups to get him elected governor.
Hmmmmm are you listening citizens? Elections are are coming. Start making noise now.
Figures, you guy's ("Eye") quote all these stats but can't seem to find the source of the data? or quote the study? What a joke! The disclaimer you use is that the numbers you rely on are quoted by a lot of unnamed people on the internet....What a rag, you guys have gone past circling the drain to being in the toilet. I'm so very disappointed, this used to be a great place to get info....
Actually if you have the time start here:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm
unless you dont (want to) believe the dept of justice stats either
No one forces you to come to this site. Did you ever really enjoy it?
Wow, thanks for the link, it's worse than what we thought, see the link two posts above......

Yeah, that's it...bury your head in the sand and don't believe that any of this is true. Again, I hope it's YOUR car that get's stolen..YOUR house that gets burglarized, and YOUR shit that ends up in the flea market or pawn shops at discount prices. Apathy will be your demise, and rightfully so.
here is a link to another article that has a lot about the topic;
http://www.ocregister.com/opinion/newark-illegal-new-1813357-carranza-one
What a chief you guys have....in addition to this bullshit I saw that he just got himself a nice little raise and bonus package but nothing for the rank and file. A real leader not only would've given his troops discretion with scumbag illegals but also would've said NO THANKS on the raise unless you got one too. Of course the chief probably has illegals tending his lawn since he's got that nice fat six-figure salary & pension.
I feel for you guys I really do!!!
It's all the rehires fault.
Morale is at an all time low. Violent crime is on the rise. Auto theft is through the roof. The evidence room is teetering on the edge of another scandal.
Yep. He TOTALLY EARNED that bonus!
Schultz is nothing less than a scumbag. No ethics. No moral fiber. All he is is a paper pusher with a badge, and, unfortunately, a gun.
It's too damn bad the APOA is bought and paid for by the 5th floor. That vote of no confidence MIGHT have gone a long way towards changing things around here. But, just like Louie and Brett, they've crossed over to the dark side...and now they're nothing more than puppets that the 5th floor plays with. Puppets on a string.
Here is a LA Times article (liberal paper), written by a hispanic journalist -- and it paints a bleak assed picture of crime and illegals there:

Last post, Amen, nothing could be closer to the truth!
You'll get over it...
Agreed! Speak english, or get out!&^%^#%
Actually we won't "get over it", we will be irreversibly changed as a society to the point where our quality of life dwindles to that of a 3rd world country.
To the above posters about Ray -- think hard about those days when the decision was made. We could have had a re-placement from within but someone went out of their way to taint every qualified candidate with a very broad brush called "evidence". The brush that person swung was a unit she was incharge of, and it was used throughly to destroy people who had no involvement at all with that unit in any capacity yet were deemed politically damaging - so they went "outside" the Dept. for someone who was politically solvent. Ray himself is neither particularly good or bad, just available at the right time. And he made sense at that time. You want to make yourself sick, think about who the NEXT chief could be if it comes from within....anyone still young enough to be politically controlled at all is a trainwreck.
Blame it on the pesky rehires!
Actually, I think we should blame it on the damn laterals!
Blame the rookies....then get over it.
Several posts up. Schultz does not have time on the books, but yet he is controlled like a pupet!!! He never stands up for himself, it's embarrasing, no spine. All he is worried about is his nice salary.
He does not care about the officers. Anyone here would be a step in the right direction. At least they would be loyal to the dept and the officers.
We can't wait until that day.
Oh brother cartman,,, 3rd world, get a life!
What a dump this blog has turned out to be. Im outta here.

How can you doubt the changes in the USA in your lifetime; my god open your eyes! Yes I said 3rd world, yes I stand by it and will vote, contribute and fight to keep it at bay.

new story from assoc. press/
AP, August 22, 2007
Shaken by three recent execution-style killings in a schoolyard, New Jersey’s attorney general on Wednesday ordered all law enforcement authorities to notify U.S. immigration officials whenever an illegal immigrant is arrested for an indictable offense or drunken driving.
Wow cartman! 2 degrees? what website did you buy them at? I've met plenty of morons that had degrees, so I'm not impressed. Go back and try to find your life man. Don't worry about your vote either, because mine just cancels yours.
Purchased only in the sense that I paid the tuition, myself alone by working for the money. Never got a single grant or handout, although once in the 90s I got some money for books from the CPOA. To yourself and everyone else who is dead set on helping illegal immigrants I say this; go to a small town in Appalachia or the Ozarks and help an American kid there who has no insurance, or how about a kid from Watts or Compton who's mom works 3 jobs. After we get that all straightened out we can start to let in and assist foreign nationals. Oh and your snotty comment about degrees, probably means you don't have more than high school which Im sure is fine and more than enough to provide you a supervisory post in City Govt. When I retired the minions who were getting the green light for higher positions were about 50% uneducated but they had a striking commonality. That said, if you honestly can look around and not see any deterioration in this country from your childhood to the present than you either live in a really great neighborhood or you are truly such a true believer in the liberal mindset that you wont believe until we are just another France or England (currently overrun and changing their laws to provide a quasi 'sharia' so they dont offend people who want to take over and destroy them). I personally wont be back to this blog becuase for one it has been over run by troglydytes who spout hate in an attempt to discredit city employees and two because I imagine that eventually someone is going to investigate something said here and backtrack the URLs of posters here. You have a good day troll and continue trying to pass yourself off as something you are not. I for one have been there and done that and it truly pains me whenever I think of the sacrafice I have made in my life to defend the rights of fools. Cartman out.
brave -- oh so brave -- Cartman was probably a T.O. when you were in the 6th grade
APD Cadet Class 50.....Cartman?
he doesn't post here anymore -- as for me, youve got a year to a year and a 1/2 on me... couple of things,
1. he's right about this stuff and 2. he apparently stirred up some internet troll here to a point where they ''outed'' his real name on another string on this site-- unfortunately they guessed wrong as to who he is
Oh, I have to agree with him on some of this stuff. The current Administration in Washington has turned our country into a decaying moral sewer. He lied about starting a war, has continued to lie to support this war all the while helping his friends and father get rich off the blood of civilians and troops, sickening. I for one can't wait until this ass hole is out of office. The rest of the world looks down on us when we used to be looked up to as a country of honor, he has robbed us of our legacy...I'm sad for our country & our children.
I'm sick of pressing 1 for English! Since when do WE have to be the ones choosing our own languge in our own country? Why do our teachers have to spend ALL of their extra time working with the Spanish speaking kids in class because of "No Child Left Behind". Now the only ones left behind are the English speaking students---oh yeah, and why can't these people immigrate into America like my ancestors did and not through the back door of the border. Oh yeah,I forgot (may bad) 'CUZ THEY'RE LAZY!
