Venezuela Crime Wave Since 2003 Venezuela’s homicide rate has severely increased. The cause of 75 out of every 100,000 Venezuelans death is murder, the most out of every country in South America.

Murders are up 73 percent and carjackings have increased more than fourfold. The number of shooting victims has more than doubled.

Although these are three different crimes, drinking can lead to all of these types of crime. On the contrary DWI is very much more serious because it has killed so many people, and every year it is killing innocent people. Unlike lewdness and obscenity it may harm someone eyes by seeing acts you may not want to but DWI is actually taking lives.

In addition, “most criminals believe that illegal aliens are afraid to call the cops, so they are the victims” (Griffin, CQ Researcher). The illegals are petrified that the police will figure out that they are not citizens of the United States, and do not want to suffer the consequence of getting arrested or even deported back to their homeland. With illegal immigrants being pulled over by cops, participating in gangs, and even being easy prey for criminals, they are a reason why the crime rates have been increasing in our nation. Pursuing this further, the illegal aliens do not have or even pay taxes; therefore they are a drain to our economy.
