..But what about Trump’s contention that Mexico is sending us criminals and rapists? In fact, the very opposite is true. Mexican immigrants, legal and illegal, like all immigrants, have lower rates of criminal behavior than the native born...

...As for incarceration rates, immigrant men ages 18 to 39 are less than half as likely to be incarcerated than native-born men the same age, according to the Ewing study.

Mexican men are even less likely to be incarcerated: Their rates are one-third that of natives with similar demographic characteristics.

And Salvadoran and Guatemalan men are incarcerated at one-fifth the rate of native-born men without a high school degree — the group most likely to commit violent crimes....


Uh, Mrs. Chavez...in case you're wondering what is wrong with the poor argument you have offered, I'll clue you in: The vast majority of the crimes are being committed by illegal aliens who ARE NOT incarcerated.

Consequently, the incarceration rates of Mexicans, Salvadorans and Nicaraguans is of absolutely no moment whatsoever in this discussion.

Any time you need clarification on fine logical points such as these, please feel free to call upon Milton Miteybad.
