Every illegal immigrant has committed a crime--their very presence in the country is a crime.

The link between gangs and illegal immigration is a fact proven by the constant flow of gang members from South America and the associated criminal activity. South American gangs are the most violent in the world, and they are using the open borders polices to build international criminal empires. Even National Geographic , hardly a right-wing mouthpiece, admits American-Born Gangs Helping Drive Immigrant Crisis at U.S. Border.

Human trafficking, which flourishes across the US, is fueled by illegal immigration. Disparate organizations from the ACLU to the Federalist Society have documented the modern slave trade. The sex trade would hardly exist without a constant resupply of young, illegal flesh. Of course, Libertarians can turn a blind eye to the sex trade because their high goddess irreparably linked Libertarian philosophy with libertine sexual mores as shown in her sado-machosistic fantasies in her otherwise cerebral manifestos.

Combining fraudulent arguments with fantastical thinking is obviously the modus operandi of the premier libertine think tank. Mixing legal immigration statistics with anecdotal incidents involving individual illegal immigrants shows their lack of integrity. These zealots unashamedly promote their no-borders policies without regard to the effect on the country—the very country that provides them a haven from the harsh realities of life. Not one of these sophists would last a week in the streets of the countries that provide fodder for the unending stream that overwhelms even the token enforcement measures grudgingly permitted by this administration.

Donald Trump is not wrong to say that some immigrants can cause crime. But they help make the country safer and more livable.

Seems like they left out the biggest factoid - trump isn't against immigration; he's against illegals invading us and the ones he is after do, in fact, commit higher rates of crimes.....

The author is dishonestly fudging the distinction between "immigrants" and "ILLEGAL immigrants". He's lying to you, and I expect better than that from the Cato Institute. They should fire his ass.

Never been more true (Ephesians 6:11-13):

…11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.

The evil seems to have saturated most institutions of our country. I always considered the Cato institute one of those that were on our side. Instead, they turn their allegiance toward one of the most evil humans ever.

He defined the dif between legal and illegal immigrants. Why are our jails FULL of illegal immigrants? This is another bogus story.

Well, CATO is off my list as an organization I want to hear from. Won't be listening to their podcasts anymore since they are part of the cheap labor express.

One, the pond is being muddied by talk of “immigrants”. Trump was talking illegal immigrants. Two, I don't know if illegals, or recent immigrants commit fewer crimes, but I think they should be on probation once they come to the USA. Just the fact they create crime means they should be tossed immediately.

A perfect example of specious reasoning via very selective data collection.

Picking this apart might make an amusing party game over the coming weekend. But many of the comments show that picking this apart will not be too hard for even the teenagers at the party to master, once someone illustrates some of the gross over-reaches.

Messing up the American future has indeed become almost a game on the far Left. We need to make it fun for our youth to wake up to how they are being played by those who have no interest in recognizing actual reality.

If you ignore them invading this country and a identity theft and fraud, and you use data from local government that refuse to prosecute crimes by illegal aliens, then there are fewer criminals.
