ksu_w already left us clear on the republican view of per capita.
I could use a refresher.
iirc he didn't trust the logic that illegal aliens within a city actually lower the overall crime rate, making the residents of the city more safe, since they commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens. His logic was that some illegal immigrants commit crimes, so total crimes go up, and all of this "per capita" mumbo jumbo can get stuck where the sun don't shine.
