H.R. 1512. seeks to lift off some of that burden. And it certainly wouldnt be all of it. LAMAR SMITH. the ranking member of the full Judiciary Committee. and I both believe the available statistics on criminal illegal immigrants in the United States leave much to be desired. There is too little data on illegal immigrants imprisoned in the United States. We dont really know how many there are or what crimes they are charged with or convicted of or how much time they spend in our prison systems. And I particularly can speak to that. since I asked for the GAO study that was completed in April of 2005. I thought in that study I would get the answers to the percentages of our inmate populations that are criminal aliens. what crimes they might be convicted of. and quite a list of things that would help us establish our policy. both law enforcement policy and our immigration policy. However. that report came back not quite apples to apples. And there are conclusions that can be drawn.
