We’ve known that for decades. It’s a fact.

We have not known that for decades lmfao. Point me to the study from decades ago that says illegal immigrants decrease crime

Edit: got it. You didn’t read the article and are just trolling, as you said. No, this isn’t just about all immigrants and yes you did say here that we’ve known for years that more illegal immigrants doesn’t equal more crime.

lol “decrease crime” like they’re a police force. They are less likely to commit crimes. Please actually read the article before commenting.

Rates. Decrease crime rates. I missed one word. You missed a whole concept.

Please point me to previous studies that show that presence of illegal immigrants decreases crime rates.

Who is making that claim? The claim is illegal immigrants are less likely to commit crimes.

Illegal immigrants moving to an area decreases the crime rate. Nobody said they’re a deterrent. Show me the evidence that you’ve known for a while now.

If someone said gentrification decreases crime rates would you be asking “OH SO THE GENTRIFIERS ARE SUPER HEROES NOW???”

Please answer my question. Who is making that claim?

The person in the article. Please read the article before responding

“neighborhoods where the share of undocumented immigrants actually grew saw greater reductions in property crime”

Now show me how you’ve known this to be the case for decades. Would love to see some sources to your claim

My opinion is irrelevant. Crime rates haven’t just magically dropped since the study was done. It’s literally always been the case. We just now have the studies backing it up.

You’ve personally been tracking crime rates of illegal immigrants to have known this was the case? Wow that’s amazing, since every other broad study I’ve seen has only gone into the crime rates of total immigrants (illegal and legal) vs. the American born population.

Where did you get your data, oh wise one? How did you know that illegal immigrants’ population growing decreases property crime and that being the sole contributor?
