The problem with your stupidity and intellectual dishonesty
(assuming you've even got enough brain cells to use the word "intellectual" to describe you) is you don't even read your own posts.
In GAO document you posted, they define criminal alien as...
Noncitizens who are residing in the United States LEGALLY or illegally and convicted of a crime.
As I stated earlier, prisons don't keep track of the number of undocumented immigrants. They only keep track of non-citizens who have committed crimes. While I contend that over half of these crimes are committed by those who are here with papers, we can divide by half the number you posted.
This means in all U.S. Prisons there were 38,500 undocumented immigrants in all of America's prisons. According to most of the racist, lying, xenophobic, and retarded sites that your ilk use there are over 20 million undocumented immigrants in America. This means less than a quarter of 1 percent of undocumented immigrants are convicted of crimes.
According to this New York Times Article from 5 days ago, the U.S. has 2,258,983 criminals behind bars.

Let's subtract the 38,500 undocumented immigrants from this number to get 2,220,483. The U.S. Population is 301,139,947. Subtract 20 million for undocumented immigrants so you have 281,139,947. This means we have 789 American citizens per 1000 in the population who are criminals. There are 193 undocumented immigrants per 1000 in the population of undocumented immigrants who are criminals.
American citizens are more than 4 times as likely to be criminals than undocumented immigrants.
If you realize that 11% of our federal prisoners are there for not complying with unconstitutional federal immigration laws (aka non-criminals) that number becomes significantly higher.
Undocumented immigrants are overwhelmingly less likely to commit crimes than American citizens and they most certainly are not the ones filling our jails.
