Originally posted by Starlight View PostImmigrant crimes rates are a hugely studied phenomena around the world, because a lot of people have concerns about it. And while, yes, there are a number of factors that make it difficult to study, a lot of effort has been put in by a lot of smart people worldwide to study it as best it possibly can be studied. And the answer, pretty much no matter the country, is that immigrants commit crimes at a much lower rate than natives, but that the native-born children of immigrants are on par with natives.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

No. You're just flat out wrong on this - I don't care how many "studies" there are, you're not going to get illegal aliens to come forward and admit that they committed crimes for which they have not been arrested. That's just dumb. Wacky. Starlightish!"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostIt’s how ‘smart people’ work. You find data that agrees with what you want to believe and ignore that your data is far from conclusive.

But if they're applying for federal grants to combat serious crime, or want to qualify for some of the "miitarized" equipment, they need to show violent crimes are up!
Part of this is spurred on by all the realtor websites which include, as part of their sales pitch, the criminal incidents pinpointed on the maps of the neighborhood you're looking at.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostGiven immigrants, both legal an illegal, seem to commit less crime than the average American, if you're worried about your own crime rates you should import more immigrants to dilute the crimes of your present population among more people and thus lower the crime rate and victimization rate.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostI take it math is not your strong suit.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAgain, there is no proof that illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes.
This meta-study surveys 51 different studies done internationally and cross-compares their different methodologies and findings. It concludes that, on average throughout the world, immigrants tend to lower the rate of crime slightly. However, you'll be pleased to see that they note that it's difficult to separated undocumented immigrants from documented immigrants in terms of data categories and it's much easier to just measure how much crime is being committed by immigrants in general."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Since NOBODY here has expressed opposition to LEGAL immigration, your whole "methodology" nonsense is useless.
