Exactly.

Even for illegals, you could probably separate them into two groups. One that just want to work and have a family, knowing they would have to do one thing illegal (enter). Another that came here with criminal intent, with no hesitation on coming illegally, with plans to do nothing but live recklessly and likely part of a cartel or gang. E.g. uncontrolled spread of lawlessness.

But just having the ‘control group’ limited to those that came legally would, of course, be radically different because they followed the law from day one. Like myself.

Other countries have done similar research. Except they came to wildly different conclusions. Illegal immigrants committing more crime, especially rape, and being on welfare. Then their kids disproportionately committing more crime and being on State welfare, followed with similar for the NEXT generation.

You’re literally importing generations of problems, not just one.

Her award-winning research found that immigrants actually have lower crime rates than native-born populations and may help reduce crime in their communities.

Europe is living that dream!

Of course, the article is so non-specific (e.g., define "immigrants") as to be useless BS.
