Notice johnforbes refuses to give a source for his propaganda, probably because he knows it's nothing but partisan propaganda.
Since I was unable to find his alleged numbers posted by any reputable news source, I went to the official ICE website to check the numbers with the only source that means anything. Here's what they say the numbers are:
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp- ... statistics
See "Total Criminal Convictions by Type" chart half way down page.
You see that there have been fewer than 19,000 criminal convictions of non-citizens last year. And over half of those were for the harmless crime of "Illegal Entry/Re-Entry"
Only about 5000 of them were for violent crimes (I included 2,577 drunk driving cases in that number, most of whom didn't hurt anyone.)
So if the number of illegal immigrants as claimed by johnforbes is in the realm of 12 million, then we see that non-citizens are saints compared to johnny's next door citizen neighbors, only committing violent crimes at a rate of .04 percent per capita; a fraction of the rate of violent crimes committed by U.S. citizens. Illegal immigrants commit crimes at a far lower rate than any other group in this country.
Let's all wait for johnforbes to post a link to his source for the alleged ICE statistics he cites that aren't anywhere on the ICE website, shall we? I'm going to the kitchen to pop some corn while waiting for that goofy show of ad hominem attacks and johnny prancing around in his Speedo.
