Look at the article again. The crime rates data that they cite doesn't distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. In other words, even when you include illegal immigrants in the mix, the crime rates are still lower than the natural-born population.


Well, you don't have people running across the border there either but you're still talking about immigration.
I said I wouldn't talk about immigrants again on this thread (for a little while at least) so I'll come back a bit later on this one and nail your ass
