    The date… that doesn’t invalidate the claim that actual criminals from other nations come into this nation illegally and commit crimes here. That’s additional crimes that could be deterred if we… closed the border tightly. The point I was making with NY, is as of recent, like I mentioned before there’s crimes committed by illegals. Had those illegal not entered our nation and into NY, cops wouldn’t have been jumped, a 13 year old and a 15 year old wouldn’t have been victimized. That’s just NY… and 5 minutes of searching things off the top of my head from what has happened in the last month or two til today.

    I’ll do you one better… Cartel in Arizona.

      If 1% of your city are criminals, you let in 200 people, and one of them is a criminal, has the crime rate gone up?

      Those damned immigrants.

      Edit: Ah, shit, it’s you again…

        How do we know that one of them and not half of them are criminals. We can’t even reference their background because they’re bypassing the legal route into U.S. soil.

        I’m sure majority of Lemmy hates fox… but this is a small summary of recent kidnappings, rapes and murders committed by illegals:

        https://www.foxnews.com/us/illegals-charged-murder-rape-kidnapping-week-shocking-crimes-across-us

        Had they NOT entered this country, all of these victims would be alive today, not kidnapped, not raped, nor murdered.

        It’s as if maybe you need to experience violence directly by an illegal immigrant to get it through your head.

          We’ve already done this, pay attention.

          The research does not support the view that immigrants commit crime or are incarcerated at higher rates than native-born Americans.

          What’s more, the arrival of record numbers of immigrants at the United States–Mexico border over the past two years has not corresponded with an overall increase in crime in so-called “blue” cities where many of the recent arrivals have settled. In most places, the opposite has happened — crime, including violent crime, has trended downward (other than larceny and a small increase in robbery) after peaking across the country in 2020. This has been true since the spring of 2022, the year Republican governors, including those in Arizona, Florida, and Texas, began transporting undocumented immigrants to cities with more immigrant-friendly policies, including Boston, Chicago, New York, and Washington.
