Migrant crime is a “fake problem,” says Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, a pro-migration leader in the Democrat Party.
Murphy told a friendly audience in Connecticut on August 26:
Nobody likes to hear this, but immigrants — first-generation immigrants — and undocumented immigrants both commit crimes at rates lower than natural-born Americans, than people that are born here in this country. So, if you want to live in a safe community, you are actually better off living in a community with people that just got to the United States of America.
Migrants “can in fact lower the crime rate, but it doesn’t help anybody who got killed by illegal aliens,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Democrats ignore the death toll from migrants because they want to see migration as an unblemished economic and civic benefit, Krikorian said:
The open migration people hold that view as a almost religious principle … They’re just not able to say that “Immigration has costs and benefits, and on balance, I’m for it [and] I acknowledge that there are costs.”
They can’t say that because immigration has to be an undiluted good [under the] “oppressor-oppressed” calculus that the left bases everything on: Migrants are an oppressed group and therefore morally above reproach.
They just have to take this view [even though] it hurts their their own their own political prospects. This is a ideological, quasi-religious issue for both the left and the libertarians who were now commingled.
Besides, Krikorian added, progressives quietly know “You’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelet.”

Wear a mask. Get your shots.
What a lying loon.
No more need be said.
Depends where they are from. Some societies are so corrupt you’d be crazy to pick anyone from there.
Chris Murphy is a sleeper. When you think of the dumbest of the democrats your mind immediately goes to someone like Kamala and Murphy doesn’t appear on most people’s list But he is a ringer and on any occasion can pop up an surprise everyone by taking to gold medal for dumbassery.
Per AI, not sourced as to where the info was drawn from so FWIW...
“Decentralized Reporting: Crime tracking in the United States is handled primarily by local and state police departments, which do not uniformly record or report the immigration status of suspects or convicts to a single federal repository for all homicides...”
If true, the stats are crap.
By design.
“You’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelet.”
= you’ve got to murder a few thousand American citizens to get re-elected.
No “problem” is a “fake” problem. If you are in charge of solving problems, then you need to sort them in order of seriousness or likelihood of occurrence or some combination of these. You then assign assets and priorities to address them by whatever order is likely to keep the most people safe.
The idea that you’re safer living near people from some alien culture is (searching for polite word...) unsupported by facts. Just to take examples that aren’t emotional, some countries have zero road rules. Many of these people don’t change the habits of a lifetime and you’re in danger anytime they’re behind the wheel, even if they really did learn English and pass a driver’s test. (I was in the DMV in Tampa, Florida and watched a man bring the test back to the clerk multiple times. He spoke no English. Each time the clerk marked the correct answers and gave him another test. He eventually got enough of the right and she issued him a license.) Safe, indeed.
Sure, frame it as *immigrants* and not *Illegals*.
Immigrants are one thing.
Illegals are a whole different story.
… first-generation immigrants — and undocumented immigrants both commit crimes at rates lower than natural-born Americans…”
Note the new tactic of mixing the two groups to make it seem more believable. Clever. Evil, but clever.
Chris Murphy - D eceitful
Talking about 2 things and acting like it's 1 thing.
Immigrants? Legal immigrants? I have no problem.
Undocumented immigrants? 100% of them are criminals. By definition.
But, white supremacy is real.
Its a BIG problem for Democrats since everybody knows they’re the ones who did everything in their power to flood the country with unvetted 3rd worlders. Of course they’re trying to play it down before the election.
People driving without insurance is a “fake problem”.
He might be lying, but I just think he is another stupid politician.
“Nobody likes to hear this, but immigrants — first-generation immigrants — and undocumented immigrants both commit crimes at rates lower than natural-born Americans, than people that are born here in this country. So, if you want to live in a safe community, you are actually better off living in a community with people that just got to the United States of America.”
One need only walk the streets of Mexico outside the centros and see the razor wire, the fences and the courtyard dogs.
Statistics don’t always tell the whole story. The scale of theft matters.
One jewelry store robbery of $600,000 by foreigners is more costly than two thefts of $900 by natural-born ferals.
Every illegal immigrant in America is a criminal. The term “illegal” means prohibited by law.
Murphy can go to hell for lying so easily.
“Nobody likes to hear this, but immigrants — first-generation immigrants — and undocumented immigrants both commit crimes at rates lower than natural-born Americans, than people that are born here in this country. So, if you want to live in a safe community, you are actually better off living in a community with people that just got to the United States of America.”
If natural-born feral criminals are released time after time despite crime after crime such statistics become every bit as defective as the big blue city criminal justice systems.
