According to Coulter (2013), in 2010 the top ten countries of the foreign born inmates were, Dominican Republic (1,314), Jamaica (849), Mexico (523), Guyana (289), El Salvador (245), Cuba (242), Trinidad and Tobago (237), Haiti (201), Ecuador (189) and Colombia (168) with the Dominican Republic being the highest number. If these inmates were more likely to commit more violent crimes, it is questionable if our immigration policies are working and if America wants to change their immigration…
