I have met many poor people in my travels and the majority did not turn to crime to survive. Naturally there are those that have turned to crime. I would say it's sloth that causes a person to turn to crime rather than being poor.

So far this discussion has focused on illegals, poor and crime. As it has moved away from illegals, I suggest that the most massive horrendous crimes in this country are committed by well educated white men on Wall Street and in Washington. Madoff among many others, Goldman, etc.
Greedy money grubbers rule this country and wealth continues to shift from the middle class to the ultra rich.
I was poopood in a previous post (Obama thread) that Obama was really not a socialist but a corporate suporter, just look what has happened. Who has been bailed out at our expense? The criminals are still in power.
