Study from liberal think tank proves illegal immigrants responsible for huge crime sprees across America

The Migration Policy Institute (MPI), which Breitbart describes as a liberal think tank, has issued a new report on illegal immigration showing that nearly one million illegal aliens currently residing in the U.S. have criminal convictions on their records.
Countering the official narrative that illegal immigration is somehow beneficial to Americans, the report proves that illegal immigrants are responsible for much of the crime that occurs throughout the U.S. And because these aliens are undocumented, they’re even harder to find and convict than American citizens who commit similar crimes.
Some 820,000 illegal aliens living in the U.S. right now, reports Breitbart, are convicted criminals. Breitbart references this report from the Migration Policy Institute (MPI). Of these, 690,000 have been convicted of a felony or “serious” misdemeanor. And both of these numbers, reports Breitbart, are likely much lower than actual crime figures, which are difficult to calculate due to the high number of aliens who escape arrest and conviction.
In the appendix to the MPI report, it’s noted that the 820,000 figure came about by “assuming unauthorized immigrants and lawful noncitizen immigrants commit crimes at the same rates.” But illegal aliens are more likely to be young and male, and Breitbart points out that MPI is using flawed logic:
MPI’s assumption is still overly-generous. The mere fact that illegal aliens are more likely to be young and male than aliens in general makes the assumption flawed. The true population of criminally-convicted illegals is almost certainly quite a bit higher.
