Cato study: no, illegal immigrants do not cause a disproportionate share of fatal crashes

[excalibur]

CATO is all in for open borders by any name.

'eff cato......~S~

CATO is all in for open borders by any name.

The Cato Institute advocates expanding legal pathways to citizenship. That is not advocating open borders.

 

[Captain Caveman]

A burglar is criminal because he violated a criminal statue. Most of these people did not violate a criminal statue. They stayed in US after their visa or other documents expired which is violation of a civil statue requiring only a correction in immigration status.

Just say yes, lol

Opponents of immigration love to claim that illegal immigrants cause a disproportionate number of deadly car crashes, especially DUIs.

But the numbers don’t lie. A brand-new Cato Institute analysis of 2010–2019 data shows no statistical relationship at all between the share of undocumented immigrants in a state/metro and drunk-driving deaths.

Even more: studies suggest undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit DUIs compared to citizens—because the stakes are higher for them. Other research has found that counties with higher undocumented populations often see lower DUI arrest rates and no increase in fatal accidents.

From the link:



So when someone throws out the “they’re disproportionately killing Americans on the road” claim, they’re either misinformed or deliberately fear-mongering. Cato’s own numbers (not exactly a left-wing source) completely wreck that narrative.
Excerpt:
"
We find no statistically significant evidence to suggest that people who live in states or metropolitan statistical areas with higher illegal immigrants shares of the population are more at risk for drunk driving deaths. Of course, there are individual instances to the contrary and those illegal immigrants who are guilty of DUIs or DWIs or who inflict death or injury while driving drunk should be punished according to the law. However, the mere presence of illegal immigrants does not appear to affect the overall drunk driving death rate. Although our regression results are correlative and not causal in nature, they suggest that illegal immigrants do not affect overall drunk driving deaths.

Um ..... Who gives a shit? They are illegal and therefore do not belong here and therefore would not have caused the crash if they were not here.
Who gives a flying **** about ratios moron? One crash caused by an illegal alien is an overage.

If it saves one life, right?

CATO are whores for hire they will publish anything for the right that price.

 

[Dagoth-Ur]

If they were removed, they would be replaced by usa citizens or legal residents who don't drive safer. You can't win this one buddy.

Prove it, ps Reagan was a gun grabbing open border cuck who helped the left every chance he could,

Every death caused by an illegal is preventable by enforcing our immigration laws and not allowing the illegal to be here

Three people in Florida are dead because an illegal alien 18-wheel truck driver flaunted our traffic laws

Thsts an irrefutable FACT

So? He got arrested right? What's the issue?

 

[Dagoth-Ur]

Ok, both can be true and not contradictory to each other.

What nation needs more criminals imported into it?

Yes they do--And does it matter? Even ONE is too many--The filthy bastards should not be here.

 

[Unkotare]

...--The filthy bastards should not be here.

Why "filthy"? Anyone not here legally should not be here, but there is no reason to dehumanize them for that. Someone here illegally who commits a heinous crime? Of course. But deporting doesn't have to involve dehumanizing.

Maybe not, but they sure as hell give it their best shot to kill Americans!!!!
I myself have been preyed upon by several illegals trying to murder me on the roads, as well as many others!!!!
And the "police" just don't give a shit.

They are out there trying to murder as many people as they possibly can, any WAY they can!!!

"Filthy" meaning unclean, full of diseases.
This country has had a surge of many kinds of diseases because of the massive influx of illegals the Dems allowed to just walk into this country.

And who exactly are you that people want to kill you so badly? And how do you know these people "trying to kill" you are illegal aliens? Did they have a sticker on their car or something? Could it be that there are just a lot of shitty drivers on the roads in general?

...

Or maybe because many families are foregoing what were the usual vaccinations for their kids after being sold a bill of goods with the COVID thing?
