Study Finds 2nd Generation Immigrants More Likely to Commit Crimes
“New research shows that second generation immigrants in the U.S. may be more likely to commit crimes than their foreign-born parents. A recent Pew study found that the crime rate among second generation immigrants is significantly higher than the rate amongst first generation immigrants, even during turbulent teen years,” the Daily Caller writes.
“The survey concluded that 25 percent of second generation 16-year-olds were caught committing a crime within the last year, while only 17 percent of recent immigrants were guilty of criminal activity during the same time period.”
Amnesty Supporters Ready for Another Push to Pass House
“Several new efforts to push immigration reform through the House of Representatives by end of year have supporters once again rallying behind the stalled legislation, including a large demonstration last week at the National Mall in which eight congressmen were arrested. Also last week, Evangelical Christians announced their ‘Pray 4 Reform’ campaign urging Congress to pass a bill for moral reasons,” UPI reports.

Not, it turns out, by talking about immigration reform,” says Mickey Kaus.
“The best way out of that hole was to educate Latino voters about Obamacare, which was immensely popular when Latinos learned the details. The pitch was much more direct than in Obama’s English-language media,” Alter wrote.
