How often are illegal aliens repeat offenders?
See-Dubya

The federal government's looking at recidivism in illegal aliens who are arrested and let go. They chose 100 cases at random from 2004 and figured out how many of them got arrested again:

Of the sample group of 100, according to the audit, 73 immigrants were later arrested a collective 429 times _ on charges ranging from traffic tickets to weapons and drug charges.

The data suggest "the rate at which released criminal aliens are re-arrested is extremely high," the audit noted.

Now as I'm trying to piece this together, I see it's reported differently in the Wash Times , emphasis mine:

...of the 100 selected aliens, 73 had an average of six arrests each after being released from custody. They were arrested, collectively, 429 times on 878 charges, ranging from traffic violations and trespassing to drug crimes, burglary, robbery, assault and weapons violations.

73% had an average of six arrests each? Since 2004? That's stunning.  ...
