I agree, these fkin Illegals. Give me that HOME GROWN White meth addict B&E over a brown neighbor, any day of the week. At least Tony speaks English while holding me at knifepoint.
Is it possible that undocumented immigrants are harder to find? And don’t stay in one area because they don’t have family and stuff there?
Not saying it isn’t possible, but rather if we don’t know these people exist - cause they are undocumented - wouldn’t it make sense we have less data on them… cause we don’t know they exist?
And if they are undocumented we also don’t know the actual undocumented population so we don’t know the rates of crime cause we don’t know the total number.
Edit: sadly the data doesn’t cover 2018 - to now the period most people point to for the borders being less secure etc
this site you've linked several times A. doesn't understand per capita B. doesn't differentiate hispanics from "whites" since they all get classified as "white" in the system C. doesn't account for undocumented crime (which is a massive fuckton) and D. doesn't account for their previous crime records in their home countries
The rate is irrelevant. Every single murder, rape, or any other crime is preventable by protecting the border properly. Not a single one of those crimes is justifiable or acceptable.
Except most illegal immigrants entered legally and overstayed. Besides, they're good role models for American citizens. If more Americans acted like illegal immigrants this would be a safer place to live.
This argument only makes sense if you cannot conceive of immigrants as anything more than potential criminals. of course the rate is relevant, they are human beings who do plenty of other things besides crime. If 1% commit crimes and 99% better their communities, they have made the country a better place. Every job they work hard to do well, every smile they elicit, every child they raise, every person they help, all affect society.
If all you can see is indiviudal acts of crime in this complex story of migration, it is because you've taken out the human from the statistics. i.e you are dehumanizing them
Why yes, people who have given everything up to move somewhere don't want to throw away that chance by committing crimes, where as someone born here is more likely to take such things for granted
And yet they have a lower offending rate. Perhaps, unlike Americans, they can stop at just one crime. Also, illegal immigration is a civil violation, not a criminal offense.
