p.91, panel 3. United States Census Bureau 2018b. To reproduce my figures for the native population, divide each year's number of natives in Adult Correctional Facilities by the native population. Similarly, the foreign-born rate equals the number of foreign-born in these facilities divided by the foreign-born population.

p.92, panel 1. United States Census Bureau 2018b. To reproduce my figures for naturalized citizens, divide each year's number of incarcerated naturalized citizens by the number of naturalized citizens.

p.92, panel 2. United States Census Bureau 2018b. To reproduce my figures for non-citizens, divide each year's number of incarcerated non-citizens by the number of non-citizens. Note: If illegal immigration exceeds conventional estimates, then as a matter of arithmetic, conventional estimates overstate the criminality of non-citizens.

This comic book was made by two famous authors : Bryan Caplan, and Zach Weinersmith(, creator of SMBC).

One of the strongest argument made by the book was a bit too quickly included in my thread, here it is with more words :
1000015781
1000015784
1000015787
