ILLEGAL immigrants. Their presence here is a crime, and every other crime they commit should not have happened in America.

the numbers show that immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans.

This defies all logic.

This is the biggest line of BS seen here in a very long time.

If illegal aliens were not here, there would be no crimes period. It is sophistry to compare them with the US population.

They can’t even get the first sentence right.
It is illegal immigrants that have a higher criminal rate.
Trump is not talking about legal inmigrants

Interesting how the term “illegal immigrant” isn’t used a single time outside of Trump’s quote...

It doesn’t matter if they don’t commit more crimes. Our government has a responsibility to make sure they are not here to commit ANY crimes at all. One crime by someone who should not be here represents a failure of the government to be a proper guardian of our liberty.

This is a wonderful example of how the Cato Institute has disgraced itself and the failed philosophy of Libertarianism.

The era of open borders is over.

If you are a criminal, you have a 5% chance of bumping into another criminal

This guy is truly an idiot.

Let's apply that logic to alcoholism: '1 out of 20 people are alcoholics so you have a 5% chance of running into one.

Well, if you chose hang out at sleazy dive bars, the chances increase dramatically.

Trump: “All catchers wear catcher’s mitts.”

Cato Institute: “Trump’s assertion that all baseball players wear catcher’s mitts is demonstrably false.”

Cato when a person is an ILLEGAL, that means he is a criminal, which mean he committed a crime. The crime is breaking into the USA.

This defies all logic.

It means illegal Mexicans commit fewer crimes than native-born urban blacks. Mass illegal immigration has certainly raised property values in places like Los Angeles by driving out "the element" - one of the reasons so many billionaires support it.

But the Left doesn't dare admit that driving unruly blacks away from liberal city downtown areas is one of their secret goals. :)

This guy Bier has his head up his butt. The wanted posters put out by the FBI that I’ve seen, granted it’s been awhile are all illegals with a smattering of others, and that in itself tells the story. I’ll stick with Mr. Trump’s assessment.
