Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find NPR - https://tinyurl.com/47u9hnbb Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born https://news.northwestern.edu/stori...ess-likely-to-commit-crimes-than-the-us-born/ Comparing crime rates between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and native-born US citizens in Texas https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2014704117 Despite its centrality to public and political discourse, we lack even basic information on fundamental questions regarding undocumented immigrants and crime. This stems largely from data constraints. Going beyond existing research, we utilize data from the Texas Department of Public Safety, which checks and records the immigration status of all arrestees throughout the state. Contrary to public perception, we observe considerably lower felony arrest rates among undocumented immigrants compared to legal immigrants and native-born US citizens and find no evidence that undocumented criminality has increased in recent years. Our findings help us understand why the most aggressive immigrant removal programs have not delivered on their crime reduction promises and are unlikely to do so in the future.

"Comparing crime rates between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and native-born US citizens in Texas, opens new tab" by Michael Light, sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and two other researchers. The 2020 study was published in the peer-reviewed Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report, which used data from the Texas Department of Public Safety between 2012-2018, found a lower felony arrest rate for immigrants in the U.S. illegally compared to legal immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens and no evidence of increasing criminality among immigrants.

LOL on the Tweet you re-posted. it's pretty much pure bullshiat like all of your other posts. "Only 5 claims were fact-checked, not 113." And wait... the fact checks showed that what Harris stated was true. LOL https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/22/poli...ce President Kamala Harris made in her speech Do you ever get tired of shoveling bullshiat? Apparently not.
Wouldn't surprise me if true. Cheating is just part of the plan for Dems. https://gab.com/RT/posts/113118249446871335
