“journalism”
And as youve probably heard by now, we know that immigrants in general, and undocumented immigrants in particular, commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans do.
Time:
Several tomes worth of research have failed to turn up even tepid evidence that an immigrant of any legal status is more likely to commit a crime than a native-born citizen. In fact, in most cases, what data exists suggests just the opposite.
Of course, native born Americans commit more crime. There’s more of them. And, of course, 100% of illegal aliens have committed at least one crime.
Stupid.

Love your blog, but this is a misinformed take. Immigrants commit fewer crimes (other than illegal immigration) PER CAPITA.

Obviously, it’s per capita. Immigrants on average commit fewer crimes than natural born Americans:

The data is out there and it’s not very controversial.
Crossing the border illegally is a crime, but most illegal immigrants overstay their visa. That’s a civil violation, not a criminal one.
I love your blog. Been reading it daily for years. Thank you.

A vast amount of the crime in illegal immigrant communities goes unreported, which means stats are useless in this case.
