This is a Stanford study into crime that makes for sobering reading. It covers the period from the 1880s.

“From Henry Cabot Lodge in the late 19th century to Donald Trump, anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but our research confirms that this is a myth and not based on fact,” says Abramitzky, whose 2022 book, Streets of Gold: America’s Untold Story of Immigrant Success, examines the many misconceptions around immigration.

Its a shane that hard working people can be slandered this way. The Italians and Jews faced this treatment. Now its the Hispanics. All abused by residents who basically lack the skills to cope.

I guess its part of a great american tradition. In every country there is an underclass that cant compete. And they take it out on newcomers, The way of the world.

Trump isn’t against immigration you moron.

He is against illegal immigration and flooding the country with third world refugees.
 
Is there a problem in Sweden or is it just a right wing myth ? Like in the US.
Is it a myth in the UK too?

LOL everyone knows what a shit hole the UK has become thanks to your open borders globalists that run your country.

Quite a number of years ago (UK) I read a report that some 70% of crime was from immigrants, and most of that crime was between themselves. Also, if crime is falling, research discovered that immigrants are less likely to report crime.
 
What are "immigrants"? Are we talking about the people who enter the U.S. legally or the illegal unverified rabble that sneaks across the border or is the friendly Stamford researcher lumping them together?

The UK was once a free country, but that was before the heavy immigration; now a person can go to jail for saying Mohammed was a pedophile. The fact is that he did marry a nine year old girl; under our modern standards of morality that is pedophilia, but in England you can go to jail for saying it.

Most crime is comitted by white trash rioters. Your friends.

Im afraid you betray the partisan nature of your sources. It is a lot more nuanced than that. You are a simpleton.
 
The problem is very real


Its still much more law abiding than the US.

NB.The rape figure is distorted by the way that they record rape in Sweden. If someone is raped multipple times by a husband they record each offence. In the US and Uk they record it as one offence.

Which has zero to do with the exploding crime rates now.

The lie of immigrant crime, as spread by the dishonest right.

The fact of the matter is since they opened the door to Third World immigrants a little over a decade ago their crime rate has skyrocketed. Native Swedes did not cause this.

But the figures show that it is generally law abiding. America would kill to be that safe.
