Illegal immigrant crime in Washington

A wave of burglaries is spreading across the Washington area, and police say illegal immigrants are likely playing a key role. In the first five months of 2008, burglaries climbed 10% to 20% in many jurisdictions. The District of Columbia had the greatest increase, jumping 20% from 1,370 in the first five months of 2007 to 1,638 for the same period this year.

Hat tip, Brenda Walker!
