The “immigrants cause crime”, whether they be legal or illegal, is a foundational lie and an appeal to the “you know who’s”.
All the data available show that legal and illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than American citizens. Immigrants don’t increase the crime rate. Waving around the Kate Steinle examples is solely to appeal to peoples basest instincts and whip up anti immigrant fervor.
First crime: Illegally entering the country (law broken)
Second: if they have a job, violating law that they can’t without being here legally.
Third: Accessory to employer breaking law if hired knowingly without paperwork or paid under the table.
Third (a): Tax fraud if payed under the table and not reported.
Fourth. Fraud or identity theft. If they obtain the paperwork needed to be hired.
Goes to show that being here illegally they don’t give a ■■■■ about our laws.
So, legal or illegal immigrants don’t increase the rate of violent crime. Lets go with violent crime since President Tannen makes it sound like swarthy hordes of Mexicans are coming to rape your white women, and that is for a distinct reason he’s doing that.
It has a massive appeal to certain types of people.
Democrats must be so proud of what they have done. Hacked to death with a machete on an American street ,but his “dreams” didnt matter. Another south american drug gang competing with MS-13 in our neighborhoods.
What you’re doing is exactly what the President is doing, Whipping up anti immigrant hysteria based on the “importing crime”.
If we wanted to lower crime, we would trade immigrants for American deplorables. The immigrants don’t add to the crime rate, the crime rate of immigrants is lower than it is for real 'Muricans.
The point is who is whipping up the anti immigrant hysteria, and who responds to it.
Fine. How about this: If you’re gonna use this incident to broad brush the whole, then next time somebody mows down a bunch of kids and people start discussing changing gun laws don’t come around with the whole “It’s not fair to punish all law abiding gun owners for the actions of one person!”.
