You are misinformed...as usual Some Americans believe that undocumented immigrants are a criminal threat to society. Former President Donald J. Trump has leveraged this assumption to inflame the rhetoric around immigration from the U.S.-Mexico border. A study co-led by Northwestern University economist Elisa Jácome provides the first historical comparison of incarceration rates of immigrants to U.S.-born citizens. Using incarceration rates as a proxy for crime, a team of economists analyzed 150 years of U.S. Census data and found immigrants were consistently less likely to be incarcerated than people born in the U.S. news.northwestern.edu/stories/2024/03/immigrants-are-significantly-less-likely-to-commit-crimes-than-the-us-born/ That study does not include the recent illegal immigrants. All of our families were immigrants at one point in time. |

Just like Castro did, foreign countries are emptying their prisons and sending the criminals to the United States. Nothing new.
In the past LEGAL immigrants were “vetted” by the government before they were allowed into the country. That’s why they “historically” committed little crime.
Not anymore. Wide open borders. No vetting. Free everything in the United States.

Immigrant crime statistics. I am pretty sure they probably don't separate statistics into legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. Probably just lump the stats together. The four above probably didn't participate in the census anyway.

Immigrants and illegal immigrants are not one and the same. What you cited may well be true for legal immigrants but it’s not possible to be true about illegal immigrants….. which are the immigrants being discussed. If their first act in this country is to break the law, they can’t possibly be less likely to commit a crime than us born citizens. The story isn’t talking about the same issue being discussed here. |
