Hi Fernando,
I am sorry, Fernando, I was not questioning you, I am sorry if I sounded as though I was, I was just curious. Thank you for sharing the article on El Mundo, I see that the stat they quoted: Rajoy afirmó que la población reclusa extranjera en España comprende el 24,46% del total" Rajoy confirmed that the immigrant encarcerated population in Spain comprises 24.46 % of the total incarcerated population. Do you know the total immigrant population in Spain? So one out of every four prisoners in Spain was an immigrant in 2002.

What is fascinating, Fernando, is the statistic on juvenile crime, if you look at the 1995 Interpol figures and the 2001 they seemed to have gone up tremendously.
