Immigrants Do Not Increase Crime, Research Shows

Judicial watch?

Yep - What they do is begin with a foregone assumption, then cherrypick facts to fit.

Did I mention that their teabagging founder Larry Klayman is an asshole? He is however a favorite of Alex Jones. Guess why?

 

[DrLove]

Judicial watch?

Judicial watch has a long history of uncovering facts that fake news outlets like CNN don't want to report. Their record is impeccable. Yours, on the other hand, is positively embarassing.

Judicial Watch doesn't give a whit about "facts".

Immigration from Mexico should be zero.

Even better if Mexicans left back to their countries. They are so over-represented in our country. We should make room for Europeans and other people, especially people who respect this country.

Illegal Alien Crime Wave in Texas: 611,234 Crimes, 2,993 Murders

As we can see, Trumplings simply do not wanna hear it - LALALA and all that jazz.

While any death is tragic, a February 2018 study by the Cato Institute using 2015 crime statistics from Texas found immigrants in the country illegally were 25 percent less likely to be convicted of homicide than native-born Americans. (Legal immigrants were 87 percent less likely.)

According to the study, immigrants in the country illegally were also 11.5 percent less likely than native-born Americans to be convicted of sexual assault and 79 percent less likely to be convicted of larceny.

The study found higher conviction rates among illegal immigrants for gambling, kidnapping, smuggling and vagrancy, but those offenses were rare and made up a tiny fraction of overall crime in Texas in 2015.

A separate March 2018 study in the journal Criminology looked at whether violent crime increases as the number of immigrants living illegally in a community goes up. Researchers found it does not. If anything, the opposite is true: Violent crime appears to fall when more immigrants are living in a community illegally.​

As for Donald's disgusting display yesterday about "permanent separations" - The obvious motivation was to downplay his hostage taking of 2500 babies, some of whom will find a way home and some of whom will not. By DESIGN, there was NO plan for reuniting. All that would have taken would have been taking a photo of the parent and children, obtaining names, creating wristbands and tracking where those kids ended up. But not taking a few simple measures will result in permanently scarred humans and cost taxpayers tens of millions in settlements. Trump, Sessions & Miller are deplorable human beings peddling little other than racism and fear.

FACT CHECK: Trump, Illegal Immigration And Crime

2011-2018 TX would have had 265,000 fewer crimes had it not been for illegals. Those are the hard numbers. You can play with statics all you want, it won't change the hard numbers.

Illegals don’t commit crimes... they just make up almost 25% of the prison population for no apparent reason.

Wrong Bison Breath

Overall, the Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that, in 2015, around 4 percent of prisoners under the jurisdiction of state and federal correctional authorities were non-U.S. citizens, though its count doesn’t include noncitizen prisoners in four states, or those held in private prison facilities, local jails or immigration detention centers.

Research has shown virtually no support for the enduring assumption that increases in immigration are associated with increases in crime.

Immigration-crime research over the past 20 years has widely corroborated the conclusions of a number of early 20th-century presidential commissions that found no backing for the immigration-crime connection. Although there are always individual exceptions, the literature demonstrates that immigrants commit fewer crimes, on average, than native-born Americans.

Also, large cities with substantial immigrant populations have lower crime rates, on average, than those with minimal immigrant populations.

In a paper published this year in the Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice, we, along with our colleagues Gail Markle, Saskia Weiss and Charles Jaret, investigated the immigration-crime relationship.

We analyzed census data spanning four decades from 1970 to 2010 for 200 randomly selected metropolitan areas, which include center cities and surrounding suburbs. Examining data over time allowed us to assess whether the relationship between immigration and crime changed with the broader U.S. economy and the origin and number of immigrants.

The most striking finding from our research is that for murder, robbery, burglary and larceny, as immigration increased, crime decreased, on average, in American metropolitan areas. The only crime that immigration had no impact on was aggravated assault. These associations are strong and stable evidence that immigration does not cause crime to increase in U.S. metropolitan areas, and may even help reduce it.

I talk about racism but I refuse to believe we are a nation of racists and bigots lying about the rule of law only when it serves your needs to maintain a white racist state. Trump was not elected to do this. We are a nation of immigrants, not a nation that denies people, and you are a descendent of immigrants. In fact this is a nation built on people who illegally immigrated here and now want to talk like they have the right to determine who gets to live here.

This is what America is supposed to be about. Anything different and it's not America. And if you believe anything different you are un American and in fact you hate everything this nation stands for.

This is a poem, not US policy.

We need an orderly immigration process, not just show up at the border and demand access.

Are we to believe that you are willing to sponsor these individuals, paying for their needs, housing them, paying for their medical care, education, etc.

The truth about crime, illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities

The relationship between illegal immigrants and violent crime

Research conducted by the federal government oversight organization Judicial Watch in 2014 documents that 50 percent of all federal crimes were committed near our border with Mexico.

Of the 61,529 criminal cases filed by federal prosecutors; 40 percent or 24,746 were in court districts along the southern borders of California, Arizona and Texas.

The Western District of Texas had the nation’s most significant crime rate with over 6,300 cases filed; followed by the Southern District of Texas with slightly over 6,000 cases.

The Southern California District with nearly 4,900 cases; New Mexico with nearly 4,000 cases and Arizona with over 3,500 criminal cases ranked 3rd, 4th and 5th.

The U.S. Department of Justice documents that in 2014, 19 percent or over 12,000 criminal cases filed by prosecutors were for violent crimes; and over 22 percent or 13,300 cases were for drug related felonies.

That same year, the U.S. Sentencing Commission found that 75 percent of all criminal defendants who were convicted and sentenced for federal drug offenses were illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants were also involved in 17 percent of all drug trafficking sentences and one third of all federal prison sentences.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Sentencing Commission reported that as of 2014, illegal immigrants were convicted and sentenced for over 13 percent of all crimes committed in the U.S.

According to the FBI, 67,642 murders were committed in the U.S. from 2005 through 2008, and 115,717 from 2003 through 2009. The General Accounting Office documents that criminal immigrants committed 25,064 of these murders.

Illegal immigrants clearly commit a level of violent and drug related crimes disproportionate to their population.

In California alone, over 2,400 illegal immigrants out of a total prison population of 130,000 are imprisoned in the state’s prison system for the crime of homicide. ​

Talk about a misrepresentation of facts.

If you charge everyone as a criminal for trying to enter this country, even those who are completely legal, seeking asylum, then of course that's where the most charges are.
And the "crime" in 99% of the cases are a misdemeanor.
Careful, listening to Republicans who think they have "facts" is the doorway to the universe of Alternative Facts.
