The Mex Files 
We need to shatter the myth of the humble illegal immigrant. Last month in Pinal County, Arizona, there were 64 high-speed police pursuits. Every single one involved illegal aliens. 12.4% of California’s prisoners were illegal immigrants in 2004, as compared with an estimated 6.9 percent in the state population.
