>>>Wrong, wrong, wrong. Where did I say of any "association"; you are saying it. The question is, do you deny the fact (just simple question) that many illegal immigrants turn to drugs, crime, and gangs? And again, were are not talking about Mexicans; any illegals. Go to NYC and you will find them there just as well.

I offered my own association between poverty and criminality- though some might say the association actually is with being caught, since the rich can sneak out from under with a wink and a government bailout. ;-)
