This question does not have an answer because you're stating something that is not true. You're saying that "illegal immigrants commit crimes when they arrive to America" and you're asking why. But the way the question is written it implies that ALL illegal immigrants commit crimes. The truth is most illegal immigrants who come to America come to work hard, and they're honest, humble people who only want a better future for their families. There are some that commit crimes yes, just like there are some American citizens that commit crimes, just like there are some legal residents that commit crimes. But it's a small percentage.

How much of the crimes that police know about results in people getting arrested?

A small percent of the crimes that police know about result in an arrest. I heard a number of convicts laugh about all the crimes they committed and got away with. Even though the crimes are considered unsolved, the perpetuators are in prison. I pointed out that all of them were doing life. They had been in prison for years and would be for years to come until they died. They did not see the connection. I just shook my head at such stupidity. Yes there are a lot of unsolved crimes. Still, a lot of the people who committed them are where they belong and doing life. It is hard to get through to hard core criminals. I was glad when the governor fired me and I had to find a new line of work!

In Act IV of "The Crucible," Reverend Hale cries, "There is blood on my head!" At the time of this statement, Hale has come to counsel Christians whom are scheduled to die. If they admit to witchcraft crimes they did not commit, their lives will be spared. In the beginning of the piece, Hale is involved in the accusation and sentencing of many innocent people who refused to admit to the false crimes.
