Immigrants Do Not Increase Crime, Research Shows

[OKTexas]

What a crock of shit. It's a very simple concept, if an illegal alien hadn't entered the country they wouldn't have the ability to commit a crime here. And these whack-a-do idiots that put these studies together never include the crime they committed just to get here, or the identity theft, fake documents they buy and other crime they commit to work here. In fact every day they remain and go to work they are committing another crime, as are the people that hire them. So shove your faux studies, they are meaningless.


.

So where do the majority of illegal aliens come from?

Virtually every country in the world. 40% through the southern border.

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.

Illegal aliens are the catalyst to the litters of welfare dependent, extremely criminal, highly incarcerated anchor babies.

What else can I teach you?

You posted a lot of words and said nothing.

Let me dumb it down for the iQ challenged.
Illegal aliens give birth to children on American soil....these “anchor babies” are destined to commit a level of crime that’s off the charts high and only slightly lower than the level of crime committed by your black peeps.
Get it now?

Warehouse jobs that Trump brags about, 75% have hispanics working for them. They don't complain they just show up and work, keeping wages low.
Go to any hospital in this country, there's a pregnant illegal in the waiting room, go to any clinic, there's a receptionist speaking spanish to a patient'

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.

Net Migration from Mexico Falls to Zero — and Perhaps Less

By Russell Heimlich

The largest wave of immigration in history from a single country to the United States has come to a standstill. After four decades that brought 12 million current immigrants—most of whom came illegally—the net migration flow from Mexico to the United States has stopped and may have reversed.

The net standstill in Mexican-U.S. migration flow is the result of two opposite trend lines that have converged in recent years.

During the five-year period from 2005 to 2010, a total of 1.4 million Mexicans immigrated to the United States, down by more than half from the 3 million who had done so in the five-year period of 1995 to 2000.

Meantime, the number of Mexicans and their children who moved from the U.S. to Mexico between 2005 and 2010 rose to 1.4 million, roughly double the number who had done so in the five-year period a decade before. While it is not possible to say so with certainty, the trend lines within this latest five-year period suggest that return flow to Mexico probably exceeded the inflow from Mexico during the past year or two.

The standstill appears to be the result of many factors, including the weakened U.S. job and housing construction markets, heightened border enforcement, a rise in deportations, the growing dangers associated with illegal border crossings, the long-term decline in Mexico’s birth rates and broader economic conditions in Mexico.

Net Migration from Mexico Falls to Zero — and Perhaps Less

Border-crossing arrests are at historic lows — but Trump is still bemoaning a 'drastic surge' in illegal immigration

Michelle Mark and Shayanne Gal
Apr. 6, 2018, 9:53 AM

President Donald Trump on Wednesday authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border, amid what his administration called a "drastic surge of illegal activity on the southern border."

Immigration advocates criticized the move as unnecessary, but the Trump administration and others were quick to point out that the National Guard has been deployed to the border in the past — most recently by former presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

It's unclear when the troops will be deployed, what they'll cost, and how exactly they'll be put to use. Trump said Thursday he planned to send between 2,000 and 4,000 troops.

Federal law prohibits them from enforcement activities such as detaining immigrants, but the National Guard has been used in the past for tasks like surveillance and fence construction. Trump said the troops would "probably" stay until the wall is built.

The Trump administration has cited criminal activity such as human smuggling and drug trafficking as reasons to crack down on the border, but Trump himself has appeared preoccupied with a "caravan" of central American migrants, some of whom intended to travel through Mexico to the US border and either seek asylum or cross the border undetected.
