That author & I exchanged several messages. He didn't understand the underlying Census data (doesn't identify crime) nor did he even bother to read the methodology section of our paper. They don't have to serve FULL sentences to be counted as incarcerated.
-
However, recidivism is a good possible explanation for why illegals don't have a higher incarceration rate. Too bad he didn't focus on that.
-
Your baseline is the 121K behind bars in 2014. It is a false number because the U.S. deports annually 60K-70K “criminal aliens” yet still had 121K behind bars in 2014. Obviously, the 121K number is only a fraction of the pool of criminals among aliens.
-
Of course, the 122k are a fraction. The paper is about incarceration rates. We don't even know the number of all criminals among natives. We even wrote this in the Conclusion. Did you even read it?pic.twitter.com/DICMbvqZbY

The incarceration rate appears lower because many who would be incarcerated are deported outright or after shorter sentencing. Some R arrested only after serious infractions but get shorter sentences because the smaller violations are unknown because it was ignored by PD.
-
Not to get in the way of a good fight b/w you, but wouldn't this statement also be true for native-born Americans, legal immigrants? "Some R arrested only after serious infractions but get shorter sentences because the smaller violations are unknown because it was ignored by PD."
-
Of course a police officer can use discretion and not report something but when he stops someone with a suspended license it is likley to be reported. Stops someone with no license/no ID it ends there many times because they have no patience to deal with it. Speak with locals.

Cato has turned into the leading tool to bash libertarianism. Beware the Kochtopus monster. Phonies, swamp creatures, and elitists.

Immigration is a transcendental good according to the Libertarian faith. Questioning it is always heresy.
