My point is that I don't think that people who cross the border are really that much more likely to not be good people than any other person. 


This is an inaccurate statement. The number of illegal immigrants that commit murder is 300% higher then the number of people in the country legally.

The list goes on. You can pick any violent crime, and the percentage committed my illegal immigrants is higher.

Ahh I worded that very poorly, I deserved to get slapped back down then =P. What I meant is basically that the vast majority of the illegal immigrants are not bad people, are not murderers and do not commit violent crimes. If your statistic is correct then lets say murders comitted by illegal immigrants are 15 per 100000 capita. That gives a 0.015% of the illegal immigrant population as murderers, and thats making the incorrect assumption that none of them committed murder more than once!

Edit: Last half of my post was actually more likely to cause different arguments than solve them. Removed.
