Comparing Crime Rates Between Undocumented Immigrants, Legal Immigrants, and Native-born US Citizens in Texas.
PNAS Volume: 117 Issue: 51 Dated: December 2020
Abstract
The study found that undocumented immigrants had substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, U.S.-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes. In addition, the proportion of arrests involving undocumented immigrants in Texas was relatively stable or decreasing over this period. The differences between U.S.-born citizens and undocumented immigrants are robust to using alternative estimates of the broader undocumented population, alternate classifications of those counted as “undocumented” at arrest and substituting misdemeanors or convictions as measures of crime.
You can’t get into Sam’s or Costco without an ID. Maybe they should be in charge of the Border Security. It’s very plain that our government has no interest in protecting it. They have to do something to get votes. People will be watching too closely this time. I heard 175 DNC volunteers were arrested in a graveyard the other night. They were getting names for mail-in ballots.

And ignore all the spin and lies regarding statistics on crimes. Consider:
- Many cities have stopped reporting crime statistics to the FBI.
- Many prosecutors let arrested criminals off without bringing charges.
- Many crimes are linked to plea deals that turns felonies into misdemeanors.
- Sanctuary cities do not ask or report immigrant status on criminals. Nor do they notify ICE before releasing the criminals.
- Illegals commit a crime as their first act in our country.
People know the story behind crime in their neighborhood. Skip the lies and spin from the left.

^^Hey Asi9: how many illegal immigrants have been convicted of falsifying business records in order to cover up other crimes?
