Examples of Why the Wall is Needed Now

  1. The chart is meant to identify the crime rate of illegals versus citizens.

    The claim is always that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a higher rate than U.S. citizens and that is part of the narrative claiming that undocumented people are coming in and committing rapes and murders and assaults like crazy. A few high profile crimes are splashed around as facts but it is not true.

    This does not excuse their illegal status and the crimes they do commit, but let's not attack the matter with hyperbole and hysteria.

  2. LOL, look up, the point has gone over your head. Immigrants - of all kinds - commit less crime than citizens. We need to start exporting citizens. Especially the dumb righties. Listening Tsing Toe ?

    The only report that indicates that citizens commit more crimes than illegal immigrants is the CATO report. The DOJ and DHS reports show the exact opposite.

    CATO supports greatly increased immigration.

    I think if you look at the total numbers, there are way more natives than illegals in TX. So factoring that in, it looks like illegals commit more crimes and murders for their population.

    They do, but commit more crime as they are a smaller % of the population.

  6. As we said, there aren’t readily available nationwide crime statistics broken down by immigration status. But the available research that estimates the relationship between illegal immigration and crime generally shows an association with lower crime rates.

    LOL another GWB failure of logic and truth. Like his AGW denial. Very common in righties.
