Hello everyone:
I’m looking for statics on crime rates of illegal Mexican immigrants. I’ve been searching around the web trying to find what percentage of illegals commit crimes but i’m not really having any luck.
Matt Yglesias at vox.com often has posts about this kind of topic, that usually show and link to data. Hope that helps.

The crime rate among first-generation immigrants—those who came to this country from somewhere else—is significantly lower than the overall crime rate and that of the second generation. It’s even lower for those in their teens and early 20s, the age range when criminal involvement peaks.
Well, if they are illegal ,I’d say all of them:rolleyes:
You are mistaken, glenn. Illegal entry is a misdemeanor, but simply being in the country without proper documentation is a civil matter, not a crime. Those who have overstayed a valid visa or those brought into the country as young children are not criminals. Is Illegal Immigration a Crime? Improper Entry v. Unlawful Presence - FindLaw
