SANDAG’s Criminal Justice Research Division (http://www.sandag.org/uploads/publicationid/publicationid_1431_9422.pdf) reports that, with 84,295 property crimes reported, 1 in every 37 residents was the victim of a property crime in 2008. A staggering 1 in every 117 registered motor vehicles in San Diego County is reported stolen! In 2008, there were more than 8,000 cases of aggravated assault — not included in this figure are the 16,759 domestic violence incidents which were reported. In 2008, the number of burglaries involving forced entry (includes home invasions) increased 12 percent from 2007. In the San Diego region, there were 845 rapes reported in 2008 — a 20 percent increase from 2007. National City (where I live) “enjoys” the County’s highest rate of violent crime rate — almost 8 out of every 1000 residents was the victim of a violent assault in 2008. Significantly, areas which have larger illegal alien populations likewise have much larger crime stats.

Illegal aliens commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime, as shown by the fact that fully one out of every three felons in federal prisons is an illegal alien — incarcerated not because of immigration status but solely because of the number of heinous crimes committed.

A county-commissioned study http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2007/09/08/news/top_stories/19_46_779_7_07.txt estimated that illegal immigrants directly cost the county of San Diego and taxpayers $101 million last year [2007], and indirectly cost an additional $155 million in unpaid medical care…. The report estimated that illegal immigrants cost the county roughly $75 million in criminal justice costs, such as jailing and prosecuting, and $26 million in health, social and other costs. These 2007 figures do not include costs directly suffered by Americans: personal and property damage.

Jay La Suer is committed to reversing this crime wave. Sheriff Joe recognizes that effectively dealing with the problem of illegal aliens in San Diego is an integral part of bringing down crime in San Diego County. I support Sheriff Jay because I believe that he will make my family safer!
