“They don’t really have any data or evidence for any of the stuff they say. They just make it up because it sounds good and makes them feel good.”
Also because they know they can hide behind a media that supports their lies. Take that away and within a year there will be no Democrat party.
Many county jails have published lists of inmates with nationality info. Some have stopped publishing that info. Ask your county for the info and make your is decision.
You’re right - here’s some John Lott numbers:https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3099992
Undocumented immigrants are at least 142% more likely to be convicted of a crime than other Arizonans. They also tend to commit more serious crimes and serve 10.5% longer sentences, more likely to be classified as dangerous, and 45% more likely to be gang members than U.S. citizens.
Young convicts are especially likely to be undocumented immigrants. While undocumented immigrants from 15 to 35 years of age make up slightly over two percent of the Arizona population, they make up about eight percent of the prison population. Even after adjusting for the fact that young people commit crime at higher rates, young undocumented immigrants commit crime at twice the rate of young U.S. citizens. These undocumented immigrants also tend to commit more serious crimes.
If undocumented immigrants committed crime nationally as they do in Arizona, in 2016 they would have been responsible for over 1,000 more murders, 5,200 rapes, 8,900 robberies, 25,300 aggravated assaults, and 26,900 burglaries.
