REPORT: Bureau of Prisons Data Shows Nearly 20% of the Federal Prison Population Are Criminal Aliens

With the recent (forced) resignation of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, the crisis at the border has reached new levels of exposure. CBP are overwhelmed and they lack the resources to properly process and house the flow of illegal immigrants currently pouring over the border.
Given the relevancy of this topic, I want to look at some common claims about the illegal immigrant issue and crime.
A routine retort you will hear when you bring up the need for enforcement of our immigration laws is that it’s not a big issue because illegal immigrants supposedly commit less crime than native born Americans. The CATO Institute, an open borders supporting libertarian think-tank, is notorious for this. Their entire existence seems to revolve around massaging numbers to insist that there is no crime problem among the illegal immigrant population. Yet, some still try to cite them as a neutral source. They are objectively not.
