kallend 2,026 #26 November 29, 2020 According to research from the Cato Institute (not exactly a hotbed of liberal thought):In 2018, the illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 782 per 100,000 illegal immigrants, 535 per 100,000 legal immigrants, and 1,422 per 100,000 native‐born Americans. The illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 45 percent below that of native‐born Americans in Texas. The general pattern of native‐born Americans having the highest criminal conviction rates followed by illegal immigrants and then with legal immigrants having the lowest holds for all of other specific types of crimes such as violent crimes, property crimes, homicide, and sex crimes. So if it's crime you're concerned with, you're better of deporting native born Americans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd like to know if you've seen any numbers that lead you to that conclusion. Quote and they are there with permission. Exactly. And if that permission had been refused she wouldn't have been there and the kid would still be alive. So we should be seriously thinking about refusing permission for the US military to be in the country, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
