ATLANTA — Atlanta’s WSB spent months pouring over millions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removal records from 2003 to 2013, and found that Georgia is essentially comparable to a border state when it comes to violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Additionally, the Peach State ranks first in deportations from all non-border states, and fourth overall.

Per their report:

Of the 386,485 unauthorized immigrants removed from the United States in 2013, 222,972 of them – 60% – had at least prior removal. 42,116 of the total unauthorized immigrants removed that year had been convicted of an aggravated felony. Of those felons, 27,159 had been removed before. That’s 64%.

They also found that 7,120 illegal immigrants were removed from Georgia in 2013 alone. Of those, 1,173 had aggravated felony convictions, and a whopping 44% had already been removed from the country at least once.
