Can you give us some numbers here?

I’m thinking you should probably separate the “drug/drug/war/kidnapping/torture/death/[general-other-than-petty-crime”] numbers due to illegal drug running (which should be pursued too), from any concerning illegal immigrants crossing the border. I have a feeling this rampant crime everybody is screaming about is not as prevalent as we’re being lead to believe.

Do you think the number from this [link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12420393&postcount=1) and the through-link are accurate?

I pretty sure most illegal immigrants going through what they go through to come here and find work to feed themselves and their families would probably try their best to keep as low a profile as possible, no?
