[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey, OP.

It is clear that even people who *appear* to be making an effort to stay legally can be threats to our safety.  Colorado proved that.

People who have entered illegally have proven they will break the law. Time for them to go. [/quote]

The crime rate of "illegals" is far lower than native born Americans, but don't let facts get in the way of your arguments.[/quote]

This statement is so full of sht. 
It may have been true YEARS ago but after the past 4 years and Biden allowing in criminals and gang members that statement no longer holds water.

Add to that the fact that many jurisdictions will not allow a person’s immigration status to be included in arrest records we know the data are flawed.

So you can do op that false argument. [/quote]

Multiple studies indicate that undocumented immigrants generally have lower crime rates than native-born Americans.
Here's a breakdown of the findings:

- Lower Incarceration Rates: Undocumented immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born Americans. For example, in 2023, the illegal immigrant incarceration rate was 613 per 100,000, while the native-born rate was 1,221 per 100,000.
    
- Lower Felony Arrest Rates: Data from Texas, a state with detailed records on immigration status, shows that undocumented immigrants have lower felony arrest rates across various offenses, including violent, property, and drug crimes, compared to native-born citizens. U.S.-born citizens are more likely to be arrested for violent, drug, and property crimes.

- No Link between Undocumented Status and Increased Crime: Research suggests that increasing numbers of undocumented immigrants are not associated with a rise in crime rates. Some studies even indicate that higher immigration can be linked to declining crime rates.
    
- Lower Violent Crime Rates: Undocumented immigrants have a lower homicide rate and a lower total criminal conviction rate than native-born Americans.

Facts matter.[/quote]
