Apart from the whole making things up aspect, have we also considered the possibility that some of those figures may be skewed by a) an overwillingness to believe illlegal immigrants are responsible for crimes and therefore more likely to be targetted/arrested/accused (similar to the way black men were almost always found guilty of rape in the segregated south) and b) uncharted, illegal immigrants are a very handy place to hang unsolved crimes?
