There is a growing call in the United States to weed out all the illegal immigrants and ship them back to their country of origin because they are the primary cause of high-profile crime against the official citizens.
However, the government agencies that crunch crime numbers are utterly unable - or unwilling - to pinpoint for the public how many illegal immigrants are arrested within U.S. borders each year. A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement said that comprehensive statistics on illegal immigrant crime are not available from the federal government. One needs to contact county, state and federal jail and prison systems individually to compose a tally, a process that would encompass thousands of local departments.
