Four times as many illegals in NY prisons than their share of population
The effects of illegal immigration on social programs span beyond food subsidies and healthcare to burdening America’s jails and prisons.

New data shows that in the state of New York, a self-designated sanctuary state, illegal immigrants make up only 3.38% to 4.15% of the state’s population. Yet, when compared to the number of illegals who are incarcerated, they are overrepresented in prison and jail populations by a factor of roughly 3 to 4 times.

Furthermore, the Empire State has, according to the Department of Homeland Security, released 6,947 illegal immigrants since January 20 of this year, while still holding roughly 7,100 such individuals in its prisons and jails. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/4x-more-illegals-ny-prisons-share-population-despite-sanctuary-policies-releasing
