You obviously are not doing your math look at the figure that is given as illegal aliens imprisoned? The GAO 2005' report does not give that figure. No GAO report from any year gives anywhere near a number of 600,000 illegal aliens being imprisoned in ?

I have a proposal which I hope the Obama administration will consider and implement.
Immediately, or as soon as possible, the United States should deport all illegal aliens who are in federal and state prisons, and in our municipal jails, to their countries of origin. In 2005, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report on the number of illegal aliens incarcerated in the United States.
The GAO reported that the number of convicted criminal aliens incarcerated in federal prison on Dec. 27, 2003 was 46,063, and the number incarcerated in state prisons and local jails was 262,105.
