Apparently the state's largest daily newspaper is having a hard time finding "criminals" in the illegal alien community. (Note to self: look up definition of word "illegal")
Undocumented jail prisoners mirror metro area population
In Oregon's state prisons, more than 1,000 inmates have federal immigration "detainers," meaning they will probably be deported after serving their sentences. That is about 7 percent of the state's inmate population of 13,300.
Their crimes mirror those most commonly committed by other convicts in the state prisons: sex violations, assault, rape, drugs and murder.
And they represent 0.6 percent of the estimated 175,000 unauthorized immigrants in Oregon, even as the remaining prison population represents 0.3 percent of the state population.
I guess by "mirror the metro ara population" they mean a "per capita double." But hey, "mirror" and "double" are almost the same thing when it's coming from the newspaper where they can't figure out if a statutory rape (by definition a rape) where the child was held down to the point of suffocation was "consensual."
Here's the kicker though. I am not positive but I think that The Oregonians point in writing this article is that criminals aren't... criminals. It's a "don't fear the folks who broke into our country, are fraudulently using your SSN to work, have perjured themselves to get that job and are in violation of labor laws, their crime will stop there" article.
First off, we know that's not true but second, if any other segment of the criminal community had such a low capture rate the Oregonian would be screaming from the rooftops. Imagine "out of the estimated 175,000 car thievs only 1,000 are in prison.")
And keep in mind the term "prison" is different than "jail." You can see from THIS LIST that our county jails are full of illegal aliens as well.
Bottom line: Let's pretend for a second that no illegal aliens are murders, rapists, thieves, drunk drivers etc, that still makes them guilty of Improper Entry by Alien, ID theft, perjury and working illegaly. Not exactly the kind of people we need to be importing.

I read that article,( at work ... )
I liked the little graph. Lets see
10% of the population in the Washington County jail is illegal (well they have immigration holds) So, does that mean 10% of the general population of the whole county are criminals?!
Just Askin'
Ric in Aloha
51/550 as reported by the O.
Shoot, sorry, forgot to mention ....
Since not all illegal immigrants get immigration holds ... how many more in the jail are really illegal? The county can't ask and the inmates dont' have any reason to volunteer the info.

The prison population ratio to illegals is irrelivent.
ONE criminal alien is too many. If someone who is here illegally commits a nasty crime like rape, murder, manslaughter, etc.. that should be enough to examine the events that led up to the commission of the crime, starting with HOW the guy (or gal) got accross the border to start with. Solve the initial problem, and you'll increase the safety and security of Americans.
Now, for any of you people who post here anonymously that can possibly find fault with that statement, I would urge you to examine your logic.
And by the way, I've been keeping track of the names I'm being called. Quite frankly you DeLucca haters aren't a very inventive bunch. It's either been "Asshole", "Bigot", or "Moron". Let's get on the stick people. Try cracking open a Dictionary (it's a big book with lots of words in it)and getting a little creative shall we??
I found some illegal alien criminals for the oregonian fishwrapper.

Hey,
What about the RNC?
Is it drugs or gayness that has got you so stirred up?
Nice one, "What about the RNC?" That is called a gotcha! The Oregonian: Republicans arent Pedophiles, no. ;)
Hey,

Is it pedophilia or domestic violence that has got you so stirred up?
Just wonderin'
Tom
In Miglavia, a nun who crosses the street against the "Don't walk" sign (even if no cars are in the vicinity) and a person who sprays a kindergarten classroom with an Uzi after he's just slit the throats of his co-workers with a machette are ...
Exactly the same.
Oh come on! Give me a f --
No, no. Exactly.
Okay, President Miglavs. Why are they 'exactly' the same?
Because they're both criminals.
Welcome to Miglavia.
SURPRISE!!!! THE HOMOSEXUAL MAFIA’S PINK FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER IT!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFwBSDznfbQ
The Oregonian article compared "murder" rates for illegals to "homicide" rates for the general population. Murder is a specific crime, homicide is a broad category. Ever murder is a homicide, but not every homicide (even criminal ones) are murder. They did the same thing with "rape" vs. "sex crimes." It's a blatantly obvious attempt to mislead.
Yeah, did you catch the name of the person who wrote the article? Hmmm....I wonder if she has any bias or not towards the issue?
And you cannot draw a conclusion based solely on immigration holds. As I understand only felons get immigration holds. People like the animal who helped kill Dani had been in and out of the system and was never flagged for deportation.
So to wrap this up the Oregonian was wrong to print the headline "Illegals Do not commit more crimes than you or me" or whatever it was they printed. I seem to hear a lot of Spanish names connected to crimes in the news lately.
Not sure why the Oregonians and some Left Wingers want to hand the country over to these people.
This is how stupid the O is. In this editorial, they want to have it both ways. They are wrong almost from the begining when they state that immigration is a federal problem. If it is such a federal problem, then why are states and cities/towns feeling the ramifications? Sure, the technical aspects of the Constitution may dicate that immigration is a federal matter, but only a sanctuarist would put his head in the sand on the issue. The Constitution could not have contemplated this problem. It may have only thought of immigrants arriving at the border trying to immigrate, not a mass of people overrunning the country. As such, we have a duty to work with the feds to deal with this problem. Why? Because it is in our self-interest to do so. What a bunch of morons. Here's the editorial:
A young girl's slaying should spark a re-evaluation of the handling of illegal immigrants who commit crimes Monday, August 20, 2007
S tate law prohibits local police from going out and rounding up illegal immigrants. That law may not be popular in some quarters at this moment, but it is very wise.
Presumably, local police have plenty of other work to do. But that's not the main issue. Pursuit of illegal immigrants should be left to federal authorities, not because they do such a terrific job of it -- they don't -- but because a problem in immigration status is a violation of federal law.
If police were allowed to improvise their own crackdowns in illegal communities, they could easily deteriorate into freelance brutality or a terrible kind of sport. It could, in effect, license abuse of the state's illegal population, which is already too intimidated, often, to complain about an abusive employer or landlord, much less a police officer.
Yet it's important to draw a distinction between proactively scouring the countryside for illegal immigrants and reacting appropriately when they're convicted of crimes. When they are, they should be punished like everyone else. But there's a difference: They should also be deported.
Contrary to anti-immigrant mythology, there's no evidence that illegal residents are more prone to crime than anyone else. If anything, they do more to keep out of the limelight, and thus out of trouble. But there are exceptions, as evidenced by the recent arrests of two men in connection with the slaying of 15-year-old Dani Countryman.
Both men, apparently, are illegal immigrants. One even came into contact with law enforcement authorities before, raising the question of whether he could, or should, have been deported earlier. The answer, is yes, he should have been.
As The Oregonian's Steve Mayes reported last week, murder suspect Alejandro Emeterio Rivera Gamboa pleaded guilty to two counts of drunken driving in November 2006. He disclosed his illegal status as part of court proceedings, even signing a plea agreement in which he acknowledged that, as a noncitizen, a criminal conviction could cause him to be deported.
But it didn't, and he wasn't. That is wrong. It's understandable that people are outraged about that. In the wake of this arrest, it's become clear that a jumble of varying policies are in place in different jurisdictions for dealing with illegal residents convicted of crimes. That doesn't make much sense.
All of these jurisdictions need to take another look at what they're doing to alert federal authorities and ensure illegal immigrants, once convicted, are deported. As Multnomah County's Norm Frink said the other day, "We're going to look at it and figure out if there's a different approach we could take."
That's smart. But Oregon's law, preventing police from turning into immigration agents, is also smart. It should stay as it is. Illegal residents are often victims of crime. They need to be able to turn to the logical authorities they can turn to now when they are victimized:
The police.

Now that kicks ass. What a great video. See, I have only re-posted that list about 10 times and it has already generated a You Tube video. Way to go!!!
Nobody has challenged my statement yet. Hmmm....
The best they could do was to post that Republican Pedo List yet once again. Quite frankly, nobody has taken my previous challenge of outlining the where and what's of each of those claims.
Now, I'm going to open a HUGE can of worms: To whomever is posting this pedophile list, I'll bet you that you will not be able to verify more than 60% of the cases in the list. Now when I say verify, I mean you have to prove that the event actually occured, and the person in question was convicted for the crime.
Ready? aaaaaaand GO!
OK, I hate to do this, but I'm tired of seeing the so-called Republican Pedo List. Here is a list of Democratic Criminals. The difference between this list and the Republican Pedo List, is that these occured under ONE ADMINISTRATION, and all can be traced back to the DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and his First Lady, who now happens to be running for President.
Imagine what I could do if the scope of my search went outside of the Clinton Admin.??
Enjoy!
The Clintons, to adapt a line from Dr. Johnson, were not only corrupt, they were the cause of corruption in others. Yet seldom in America have so many come to excuse so much mendacity and malfeasance as during the Clinton years. Here are some of the facts that have been buried.

There were in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons were imprisoned. A key difference between the Clinton story and earlier ones was the number of criminals with whom he was associated before entering the White House.

CLINTON MACHINE CRIMES FOR WHICH CONVICTIONS WERE OBTAINED
Drug trafficking (3), racketeering, extortion, bribery (4), tax evasion, kickbacks, embezzlement (2), fraud (12), conspiracy (5), fraudulent loans, illegal gifts (1), illegal campaign contributions (5), money laundering (6), perjury, obstruction of justice.

ARKANSAS SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME
- Number of persons in the Clinton machine orbit who are alleged to have committed suicide: 9
- Number known to have been murdered: 12
- Number who died in plane crashes: 6
- Number who died in single car automobile accidents: 3
- Number of one-person sking fatalities: 1
- Number of key witnesses who have died of heart attacks while in federal custody under questionable circumstances: 1
- Number of unexplained deaths: 4
- Total suspicious deaths: 46
- Number of northern Mafia killings during peak years of 1968-78: 30
- Number of Dixie Mafia killings during same period: 156
It is important in considering these fatal incidents to bear in mind the following:
The fact that anomalies need to be investigated further carries no presumption of how a death actually occurred, only that there remain serious questions that require answers.
The possibility of foul play must be taken seriously in a major criminal conspiracy in which over two score individuals and firms have been convicted and over 100 witnesses have pled the Fifth Amendment or fled the country.
If foul play did occur in any of these cases, that fact by itself does not carry the presumption that the the Clinton machine was involved. Given the footprints of organized crime, drug trade, foreign espionage, and intelligence agencies on the trail of the Clinton story, such a assumption would not be warranted. It is also well to keep in mind the classic prohibition era movie in which the corrupt poitician's job was not to engage in illegal acts but to avoid noticing them.

THE HIDDEN ELECTION
USA Today calls it "the hidden election," in which nearly 7,000 state legislative seats are decided with only minimal media and public attention. But there was an important national story here: evidence of the disaster that Bill Clinton was for the Democratic Party. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Democrats held a 1,542 seat lead in the state bodies in 1990. As of 1998 that lead had shrunk to 288. That's a loss of over 1,200 state legislative seats, nearly all of them under Clinton. Across the US, the Democrats controled only 65 more state senate seats than the Republicans.
Further, in 1992, the Democrats controlled 17 more state legislatures than the Republicans. After 1998, the Republicans controlled one more than the Democrats. Not only was this a loss of 9 legislatures under Clinton, but it was the first time since 1954 that the GOP had controlled more state legislatures than the Democrats (they tied in 1968).
Here's what happened to the Democrats under Clinton, based on our latest figures:
- GOP seats gained in House since Clinton became president: 48
- GOP seats gained in Senate since Clinton became president: 8
- GOP governorships gained since Clinton became president: 11
- GOP state legislative seats gained since Clinton became president: 1,254
as of 1998
- State legislatures taken over by GOP since Clinton became president: 9
- Democrat officeholders who have become Republicans since Clinton became
president: 439 as of 1998
- Republican officeholders who have become Democrats since Clinton became president: 3
THE CLINTON LEGACY: LONELY VOICES
Here are some of the all too rare public officials, reporters, and others who spoke truth to the dismally corrupt power of Bill and Hill Clinton's political machine -- some at risk to their careers, others at risk to their lives. A few points to note:
- Those corporatist media reporters who attempted to report the story often found themselves muzzled; some even lost their jobs. The only major dailies that consistently handled the story well were the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Times.
- Nobody on this list has gotten rich and many you may not have even heard of. Taking on the Clintons typically has not been a happy or rewarding experience. At least ten reporters were fired, transferred off their beats, resigned, or otherwise got into trouble because of their work on the scandals.
- Contrary to the popular impression, the politics of those listed ranges from the left to the right, and from the ideological to the independent.
PUBLIC OFFICIALS
MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ was a prosecutor on the staff of Kenneth Starr. His attempts to uncover the truth in the Vincent Foster death case were repeatedly foiled and he was the subject of planted stories undermining his credibility and implying that he was unstable. Rodriguez eventually resigned.
JEAN DUFFEY: Head of a joint federal-county drug task force in Arkansas. Her first instructions from her boss: "Jean, you are not to use the drug task force to investigate any public official." Duffey's work, however, led deep into the heart of the Dixie Mafia, including members of the Clinton machine and the investigation of the so-called "train deaths." Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reports that when she produced a star witness who could testify to Clinton's involvement with cocaine, the local prosecuting attorney, Dan Harmon issued a subpoena for all the task force records, including "the incriminating files on his own activities. If Duffey had complied it would have exposed 30 witnesses and her confidential informants to violent retributions. She refused." Harmon issued a warrant for her arrest and friendly cops told her that there was a $50,000 price on her head. She eventually fled to Texas. The once-untouchable Harmon was later convicted of racketeering, extortion and drug dealing.
BILL DUNCAN: An IRS investigator in Arkansas who drafted some 30 federal indictments of Arkansas figures on money laundering and other charges. Clinton biographer Roger Morris quotes a source who reviewed the evidence: "Those indictments were a real slam dunk if there ever was one." The cases were suppressed, many in the name of "national security." Duncan was never called to testify. Other IRS agents and state police disavowed Duncan and turned on him. Said one source, "Somebody outside ordered it shut down and the walls went up."
RUSSELL WELCH: An Arkansas state police detective working with Duncan. Welch developed a 35-volume, 3,000 page archive on drug and money laundering operations at Mena. His investigation was so compromised that a high state police official even let one of the targets of the probe look through the file. At one point, Welch was sprayed in the face with poison, later identified by the Center for Disease Control as anthrax. He would write in his diary, "I feel like I live in Russia, waiting for the secret police to pounce down. A government has gotten out of control. Men find themselves in positions of power and suddenly crimes become legal." Welch is no longer with the state police.
DAN SMALTZ: Smaltz did an outstanding job investigating and prosecuting charges involving illegal payoffs to Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy, yet was treated with disparaging and highly inaccurate reporting by the likes of the David Broder and the NY Times. Espy was acquitted under a law that made it necessary to not only prove that he accepted gratuities but that he did something specific in return. On the other hand, Tyson Foods copped a plea in the same case, paying $6 million in fines and serving four years' probation. The charge: that Tyson had illegally offered Espy $12,000 in airplane rides, football tickets and other payoffs. In the Espy investigation, Smaltz obtained 15 convictions and collected over $11 million in fines and civil penalties. Offenses for which convictions were obtained included false statements, concealing money from prohibited sources, illegal gratuities, illegal contributions, falsifying records, interstate transportation of stolen property, money laundering, and illegal receipt of USDA subsidies. In addition, Janet Reno blocked Smaltz from pursuing leads aimed at allegations of major drug trafficking in Arkansas and payoffs to the then governor of the state, WJ Clinton. Espy had become Ag secretary only after being flown to Arkansas to get the approval of chicken king Don Tyson.
DAVID SCHIPPERS was House impeachment counsel and a Chicago Democrat. He did a highly creditable job but since he didn't fit the right-wing conspiracy theory, the Clintonista media downplayed his work. Thus most Americans don't know that he told Newsmax, "Let me tell you, if we had a chance to put on a case, I would have put live witnesses before the committee. But the House leadership, and I'm not talking about Henry Hyde, they just killed us as far as time was concerned. I begged them to let me take it into this year. Then I screamed for witnesses before the Senate. But there was nothing anybody could do to get those Senators to show any courage. They told us essentially, you're not going to get 67 votes so why are you wasting our time." Schippers also said that while a number of representatives had looked at additional evidence kept under seal in a nearby House building, not a single senator did.
JOHN CLARKE: When Patrick Knowlton stopped to relieve himself in Ft. Marcy Park 70 minutes before the discovery of Vince Foster's body, he saw things that got him into deep trouble. His interview statements were falsified and prior to testifying he claims he was overtly harassed by more than a score of men in a classic witness intimidation technique. In some cases there were witnesses. John Clarke was his dogged lawyer in the witness intimidation case that was largely ignored by the media, even when the three-judge panel overseeing the Starr investigation permitted Knowlton to append a 20 page addendum to the Starr Report.
OTHER
THE ARKANSAS COMMITTEE: What would later be known as the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy actually began on the left - as a group of progressive students at the University of Arkansas had formed the Arkansas Committee to look into Mena, drugs, money laundering, and Arkansas politics. This committee was the source of some of the important early Clinton stories including those published in the Progressive Review.
CLINTON ADMINISTRATION SCANDALS E-LIST: Moderated by Ray Heizer, this list was subject to all the idiosyncrasies of Internet bulletin boards, but nonetheless proved invaluable to researchers and journalists.
JOURNALISTS
JERRY SEPER of the Washington Times was far and away the best beat reporter of the story, handling it week after week in the best tradition of investigative journalism. If other reporters had followed Seper's lead, the history of the Clintons' machine might have been quite different.
AMBROSE EVANS-PRITCHARD of the London Telegraph did a remarkable job of digging into some of the seamiest tales from Arkansas and the Clinton past. Other early arrivals on the scene were Alexander Cockburn and Jeff Gerth.
CHRISTOPHER RUDDY, among other fine reports on the Clinton scandals, did the best job laying out the facts in the Vince Foster death case.
ROGER MORRIS AND SALLY DENTON wrote a major expose of events at Mena, but at the last moment the Washington Post's brass ordered the story killed. It was published by Penthouse and later included in Morris' "Partners in Power," the best biography of the Clintons.
OTHERS who helped get parts of the story out included reporters Philip Weiss, Carl Limbacher, Wes Phelan, David Bresnahan, William Sammon, Liza Myers, Mara Leveritt, Matt Drudge, Jim Ridgeway, Nat Hentoff, Michael Isikoff, Christopher Hitchens and Michael Kelly. Also independent investigator Hugh Sprunt and former White House FBI agent Gary Aldrich.
SAM SMITH of the Progressive Review wrote the first book (Shadows of Hope, University of Indiana Press, 1994) deconstructing the Clinton myth. The Review provided extensive coverage of the topic.

Mr. Pedo-list once again proves that the pro-criminal, pro-amnesty crowd can't debate the illegal alien issue. You guys lost!
Well said Calhoun. These people are purposefully committing logical fallacies (red herring and ad hominem) because they know they can't win on this issue. They have no argument to make, no data to support their unsupportable position, so they change the subject and cast aspersions on Republicans instead. If this was my blog, I'd delete the spam.
Daniel, I'm glad I'm not the only one who checked the Oregonian's math, which really comes down to this proposition: 0.3 = 0.6.
Now last I checked, 0.3 > 0.6. Matter of fact, 0.6 / 0.3 = 2. Which means, using the Oregonians OWN FIGURES, illegal aliens are incarcerated at TWICE the rate of citizens and legal residents. Yet the Oregonian somehow manages to spin this conclusion into its exact opposite. Astounding.
The Statesman Journal published a version of the Oregonian article with the same fundamental error. Here's a thread on it that I contributed to---readers of this blog are encouraged to contribute to that discussion. The more people who point out the media's lies on this issue, the better.
Anyone posting a pedo list in here is a fag...lol
