Dr. John Lott and James Varney have a piece at Real Clear Investigations on the relationship between crime and immigration. The data used in the investigation is available as a STATA data set here. The regression output is shown at the bottom of this post.
. Violent crime is becoming common in Sweden, shocking residents of the famously placid Scandinavian nation, where horrific acts of violence have become “all too familiar,” according to Common Sense Media, part of a Swedish nonprofit organization.
. Since 2018, Swedish authorities have recorded an estimated 500 bombings, while what they describe as gang shootings have become increasingly common. The country reported a record 124 homicides in 2020 and many residents were shocked in April when violent riots injured more than 100 police officers.
. But Sweden’s crime spike is not an anomaly in Europe, as homicides have risen during the last decade across the European Union, from Hungary and Germany to Denmark and Finland. An analysis of EU and United Nations crime data by RealClearInvestigations shows that, as in Sweden, the broader crime wave is strongly correlated with immigration.
.“The country-level data for EU countries keeps track of immigration data that allows you to look at many different places over time in a way that we simply aren’t able to do looking across U.S. states,” said Carl Moody, an economics professor at William & Mary College who specializes in criminology.
.Criminal justice experts say that the precision offered by European data may provide guideposts to the United States as it grapples with a host of pathologies ranging from rising violent crime and mass shootings to social disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic.

I appreciate that studies are being done, but this is an obvious one like saying, after thousands of years of study, facing east at daylight, you will see the sun rise....
The U.S. has become a dumping ground for all foreign criminals.
the liberal Swedes are getting what they voted for. they are getting what they deserve. This is the price of a naïve population mindlessly voting for liberal politicians. Againm this is what they get...this is what they deserve. Just like the USA, by the way!

Anyone who is even mildly surprised by this should permanently lose their right to vote.
So is all immigration bad? Of course not. But a successful immigrant must be both willing and able to assimilate. You’ve got to have both conditions. Just having one is not enough.
Unfortunately, many immigrants these days have neither condition. Instead they want their new country to assimilate to them.
Example #1: Muslims in Europe demanding Sharia Law.
Example #2: The Reconquista movement in the United States.
The elites who support these open border policies don’t care, they are live in upscale communities themselves, far away from the crime committed by immigrants.
Exactly! I give you 51 wetbacks arriving on Martha’s Vineyard!
We don’t need to devote a single dime for a study to see the strong correlation between immigrants (especially the illegal criminal invader kind) and major crimes. They show their criminality right off the bat by entering our country without permission, by criminal means. If they’re willing to do that, they’re willing to steal, rape, murder, etc. Or run for Congress and marry their brother.
The illegal aliens pouring over the border are not being forced to get vaxxinated. Maybe not being allowed to?
That is quite a pool of pure blood organ donors.
They are not even being tested for any diseases.
The feds are planting the seeds for the next pandemic.
Texas - illegal aliens are convicted of homicide 32% more frequently than the rest of the Texas population. The rate for sexual assault is 91% higher.
