There are only about 800,000 DACA recipients, not millions and the Democrats didn't shut down the government. They control nothing.....the party you support works assiduously against the interests of America and Americans.
Illegal aliens are more likely to be arrested, convicted and imprisoned!
And the Democrats shut down the government today in support of millions of illegal aliens.
Did you have any comment on this issue?
That's an outright lie..
"There are 3.6M 'DREAMers' — a number far greater than commonly known"
There are 3.6M 'DREAMers' — a number far greater than commonly known
PLUS....every relative they care to bring in.
Illegal immigration is the issue.....
Democrats support it.
And you know why.
No, that is a true statement.
DACA has shielded nearly 790,000 young unauthorized immigrants from deportation
Exactly the sort of manipulation of the issue that I described.
It's known as 'sophistry.'
Back to the subject: are illegal immigrants less likely to be law-abiding than Americans?
You said my statement was untrue, it was not. I made a true statement as to the number of DACA recipients.
No, undocumented immigrants are not less likely to be law abiding citizens. The opposite is "mostly true" in fact.
Are undocumented immigrants less likely to commit crime?
PolitiFact pointed to a July 2015 report by the American Immigration Council, a pro-immigrant nonprofit in Washington. The council analyzed data from the Census’ 2010 American Community Survey and found that about 1.6 percent of all immigrant males (Census does not specify legal status) between 18 and 39 years old were incarcerated, compared to 3.3 percent of the native-born population.
Looking at California prisons, immigrants are also underrepresented. U.S.-born men are incarcerated in the state at a rate of more than two-and-a-half times greater than that of foreign-born men, according to a study by the Public Policy Institute of California.
The American Immigration Council also reported that 2010 Census data shows incarceration rates of young, less educated Mexican, Salvadoran and Guatemalan men — which comprise the bulk of the unauthorized population — are "significantly lower" than incarceration rates of native-born young men without a high-school diploma.
Specifically for Mexican men ages 18 to 39, the incarceration rate in 2010 was 2.8 percent, compared to 10.7 percent for native-born men in the same age group, the council’s report said.
Immigrants come to the United States to build better lives for themselves and their children, said Walter A. Ewing, a senior researcher at the American Immigration Council and one of the report’s authors.
"They are very motivated to not blow that opportunity by getting in trouble with the police," he told PolitiFact. "This is especially so for unauthorized immigrants, who can be deported at any time for unlawful presence."
You lied in the usual tortuous manner that Liberals use.
The issue is illegal immigration and the numbers involved are multiple millions.
