Bachmann on O'Reilly Wed. night

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., will be on the O'Reilly Factor interview show on Fox News sometime during the show's airing Wednesday night at 7 p.m., according to her campaign office.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann will appear on Fox News' the O'Reilly Factor to discuss how our broken immigration system led to last week's Minnesota school bus crash in which four young kids died.
The show re-airs at 11 p.m.
Bachmann wrote a letter to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials this week about the crash, asking them to determine "how federal and local law enforcement can ensure such a thing never happens again."

Apparently it is wedge issue week for Michele Bachmann after her gun rights stunt on the floor of the House of Representatives yesterday. I wonder if O'Reilly or Bachmann will bring up the study put out this week that shows immigrants are far less likely to commit crime than the citizen population. While the study only looks at California, with its larger than average number of immigrants it can most likely be extended to the population as a whole.

Among men 18 to 40, the population most likely to be in institutions because of criminal activity, the report found that in California, U.S.-born men were institutionalized 10 times more often than foreign-born men (4.2 percent vs. 0.42 percent).
Among other findings in the report, non-citizen men from Mexico 18 to 40 -- a group disproportionately likely to have entered the United States illegally -- are more than eight times less likely than U.S.-born men in the same age group to be in a correctional institution (0.48 percent vs. 4.2 percent).
