This is all Night Star was saying. It is not rocket science.
Those who say that the legal people also commit these acts are not looking at the big picture.
Foreigners / illegals need to respect the country they have inhabited / infested!!!
It takes thousands of dollars for illegals to come to the States, purchase false ID's and get set up.
So, surprise surprise when they, um, break the law...

I don't even need to read the rest of the thread to comment here.
Being an illegal immigrant doesn't make someone more likely to be a pedophile/sexual predator... All it makes you is someone who is in another country illegally. Child molestation happens by legal citizens all the same.
Do some illegal immigrants commit crimes? Sure. Since illegal immigrants are people just like anyone else, and some PEOPLE, regardless of citizenship status, do commit crimes.

Don't look to the current administration to do anything about it:
They're Americans!
My ancestors came here through the proper channels except for the Native American ones who were here even longer.
I believe your point is that if immigration policy on deportation were strictly enforced, then there wouldn't be 11.2 million (according to the PEW Hispanic Center) undocumented people in our midst, who could potentially commit heinous crimes and crimes against people with the option of running across the border. And YES, the demographic information illustrates the fact that Mexicans and other Latin Americans represent a majority due to the natural geography of Latin American border nations.
According to 2010 Pew data, 63 percent of unauthorized adults had been in the country 10 years or more.They're mainly from Mexico. "Any place that sends us immigrants, we have some unauthorized immigrants from," Passel says. But around 55 to 60 percent are from Mexico, "which translates to over 6 million people."
I don't know if it was mentioned, but a large number of pedophilia acts remain unreported or simply hidden. The Catholic Church, Jehovah Witness church and some ultra conservative sects of Judaism have historically kept a policy of silence, due to the stigmatic nature of such crimes on.

There also wasn't the laws in place then to make them "illegal", but i am sure a few of them would have been thought to have been "illegal" if they were.
It was founded on undocumented immigrants, how about that
you better go back and study history.
the first immigration law.
The United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. Article I, section 8, clause 4 of the Constitution expressly gives the United States Congress the power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.[1]
History of laws concerning immigration and naturalization in the United States
Maybe you should try reading your own link. That link has to do naturalization and very little on immigration. The first immigration law wasn't on the books until 1875. Because before then if you weren't white they didn't count you.
Page Act of 1875
The Page Act of 1875 (Sect. 141, 18 Stat. 477, 1873-March 1875) was the first restrictive federal immigration law and prohibited the entry of immigrants considered "undesirable." The law classified as "undesirable" any individual from Asia who was coming to America to be a forced laborer, any Asian woman who would engage in prostitution, and all people considered to be convicts in their own country.
These were preventable crimes.

It still doesn't make it right that illegal immigrants are allowed in.

People here are misinterpreting what I'm saying, putting words in my mouth, calling me all kinds of colorful names. I married a Portuguese man, but I'm racist? I have Mexican friends, Asians, Africans etc. but I'm racist? I'm tired of repeating myself for those who refuse to pay attention and listen and have no other agenda than to turn things into what they are not. If you don't get it, you don't get it. If you are civil I will respond. If you want to turn things into what they are not and assume and attack, I have nothing to say to you.

274 children per day are molested by legal citizens. www.childhelp.org... Maybe we should deport all citizens to protect the children

How were they preventable? It is more likely they will still happen, just by an american citizen.
