Nice theory.

Slight problem: the facts. Immigration (both legal and illegal) has dropped dramatically in the last five years.

But this isn't going to change your mind, is it?

The Crime of Illegal Aliens

Excerpt:
There are innumerable reasons to want our border secure. We know our
infrastructure is being ravaged--emergency rooms overwhelmed, hospitals
closing, our highways jammed, school rooms overcrowded, tax revenue lost, it
goes on and on.
When illegal immigrants are discussed in the media, the picture painted is
of a hard working family man or woman, the sort of person President Bush
refers to when he pitches his "guest worker" program. "Hard working people
who want a better way of life," is how he casts them.

While many fit that bill, the dirty little secret is the fact that illegal
aliens are not only destroying our infrastructure by stealing valuable
services such as health care and schooling, they're also committing horrific
crimes throughout our great nation. The fact that police departments in
virtually every major city (and not so major ones) spend their time
responding to crime by illegal aliens, looking for the illegal alien
culprits, arresting illegal aliens (when their local laws allow them to),
processing them through the system, means more officers, more departments,
are stretched to the limit, by people who shouldn't be here in the first
place.
