Lars Larson Show: Criminal Alien of the Week Report
May 30 2013
Lars:
According to the Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) Inmate Population Profile dated May 1, 2013 DOC indicated there were 14,396 prisoners incarcerated in DOC’s 14 prisons.
Not included in DOC’s May 1st Inmate Population Profile was DOC data indicating there were 1,195 foreign nationals (criminal aliens) incarcerated in its prison system.
All 1,195 criminal aliens incarcerated on April 1st by DOC had United States (U.S.) Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), detainers. The U.S. DHS–ICE is responsible for indentifying whether a DOC inmate is a criminal alien or a domestic inmate. If an inmate is identified as being a criminal alien, at U.S. DHS–ICE’s request, the DOC places an “ICE detainer” on the inmate that directs DOC officials to transfer custody to ICE following completion of the inmate’s state sanction.
Criminal aliens made up approximately 8.30% of the DOC May 1st prison population.
Comparing DOC criminal alien incarceration numbers from May 1, 2008 (1,070 criminal aliens) and May 1, 2013 (1,195 criminal aliens), the DOC prison system incarcerated 125 criminal aliens more than it did on May 1, 2008, a 11.68% increase.
When comparing DOC domestic criminal incarceration numbers from May 1, 2008 (12,544 domestic criminals) and May 1, 2013 (13,201 domestic criminals), the DOC prison system incarcerated 657 domestic criminals more than it did on May 1, 2008, a 5.24% increase.
Bringing the preceding numbers together, from May 1st 2008 – 2013, the DOC prison population grew by 782 domestic and criminal alien prisoners; 15.98% of the overall growth was in criminal alien prisoners.
A review of the 1,195 criminal aliens in DOC prisons by number per county and percentage (%) per county equated to the following: 0-Baker (0.00%), 17-Benton (1.42%), 83-Clackamas (6.94%), 4-Clatsop (0.33%), 3-Columbia (0.25%), 9-Coos (0.75%), 3-Crook (0.25%), 0-Curry (0.00%), 17-Deschutes (1.42%), 6-Douglas (0.50%), 1-Gilliam (0.08%), 0-Grant (0.00%), 0-Harney (0.00%), 6-Hood River (0.50%), 52-Jackson (4.35%), 10-Jefferson (0.84%), 7-Josephine (0.58%), 11-Klamath (0.92%), 0-Lake (0.00), 60-Lane (5.02%), 8-Lincoln (0.67%), 27-Linn (2.26%), 11-Malheur (0.92%), 285-Marion (23.85%), 5-Morrow (0.42%), 274-Multnomah (22.93%), 1-OOS (0.08%), 18-Polk (1.51%), 0-Sherman (0.00%), 5-Tillamook (0.42%), 18-Umatilla (1.51%), 3-Union (0.25), 0-Wallowa (0.00%), 3-Wasco (0.25%), 218-Washington (18.24%), 0-Wheeler (0.00%), and 30-Yamhill (2.51%).
Your listeners should be aware the types of crime committed against their fellow Oregonians by the 1,195 criminal aliens.
A review of the 1,195 criminal aliens in the DOC prison population by numbers per crime and percentage (%) per crime equated to the following: 4-arsons (0.33%), 125-assaults (10.46%), 24-burglaries (2.01%), 30-driving offenses (2.51%), 166-drugs (13.89%), 1-escape (0.08%), 3-forgeries (0.25%), 146-homicides (12.22%), 50-kidnappings (4.18%), 65-others (5.44%), 170-rapes (14.22%), 76-robberies (6.36%), 223-sex abuses (18.66%), 92-sodomies (7.70%), 15-thefts (1.25%), and 5-vehicle thefts (0.42%).
Listeners should not overlook the source of the preceding crimes, the country of origin of the 1,195 criminal aliens in DOC prisons.
The self-declared counties of origin of the 1,195 criminal aliens in the DOC prison population by numbers and percentage (%) per country equated to the following: 8-Canada (0.67%), 10-Cuba (0.84%), 16-El Salvador (1.34%), 33-Guatemala (2.76%), 16-Honduras (1.36%), 7-Laos (0.58%), 976-Mexico (81.67%), 9-Philippines (0.75%), 81-others (6.78%), 7-Russia (0.58%), 12-Ukraine (1.00%), and 20-Vietnam (1.67%).
Beyond the DOC criminal alien incarceration numbers and incarceration percentages, per county and per crime type, or even country of origin, criminal aliens pose high economic cost on Oregonians.
An individual prisoner in the DOC prison system costs approximately ($84.81) per day to incarcerate.
The DOC’s incarceration cost for its 1,195 criminal alien prison population is approximately ($101,347.95) per day, ($709,435.65) per week, and ($36,992,001.75) per year.
None of my preceding cost estimates for the DOC to incarcerate the 1,195 criminal aliens include the dollar amount for legal services (indigent defense), court costs, nor cost estimates to cover victim assistance.
An unfortunate fact, the State of Oregon is not fully cooperating with the U.S. DHS–ICE to fight crime committed by criminal aliens who reside in Oregon.
In year 2007, a United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) report titled “Cooperation of SCAAP (State Criminal Alien Assistance Program) Recipients in the Removal of Criminal Aliens from the United States, U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Inspector General Audit Division, Audit Report 07-07, October 2007, Redacted-Public Version” identified the State of Oregon as having an official “state sanctuary statute,” ORS 181.850 Enforcement of federal immigration laws.
The USDOJ, the federal governments top law enforcement agency, identified Oregon as a “sanctuary” for criminal aliens.
The State of Oregon should no longer be classified by U.S. federal government law enforcement as having an official “state sanctuary statute” for criminal aliens, nor should Oregon be a sanctuary for criminal aliens to kill, rape, or maim Oregonians.
