Her award-winning research found that immigrants actually have lower crime rates than native-born populations and may help reduce crime in their communities. So why do so many people believe the opposite?Probably because the reality of the situation doesn't correlate to her "award-winning research".

Tell that to the families of those killed in Los Angeles and Orange County from illegals but considering this is Ktla the lil commie network who goes all in protecting their precious illegals they could care less about the victims

And then you read a couple of more posts and you see where they arrest 200 sex offenders in an immigration raid. And never mind that sanctuary cities don’t report the immigration status of offenders making it appear that fewer offenders are immigrants. Studies can show pretty much anything depending upon what variables you are willing to omit.

You can make data say anything if you just remove those pesky data sets that contradict your narrative.

Notice the very big changeup at the beinging, in the definiton.
They look a *migrant* crime, not illegal immigrant crime.
John Lott says this is how they create their narrative and cook the books.

...immigrant crime... A little stealth indirection there.
"Immigrant crime" is not the same thing as "Illegal Immigrant Crime."
