Um, except they're utterly ****ing not. Statistically they break laws
other than "you're not supposed to live here" just a tiny hair more than
people who were born here. Sorry.

Which, if you factor in an average economic class comparison, probably
makes them generally more law-abiding over-all.

Yup, I mean think about it - you're here illegally and you've got a job
and an okay place to live and you're Western Unioning a few hundred a
week back home to Mom and Pop... so whyinhell you gonna f*ck up a good
thing by breaking any other laws??? That'd just be STUPID. And this may
come off as a dumb thing to say but most immigrants? Not stupid.

Those few who come here TO commit crimes, sell dope, hold up liquor
stores - I got no objections, ship 'em back and let 'em rot in those
charming Mexican prisons. But that's a tiny fraction of the number of
Gringos that seem to think living on welfare and selling crack are THEIR
only purpose in life.
