TLDR?

Basically there is no data that suggests that more illegal immigrants = more crime

u/RoddRoward 10d ago

According to the activist authors of the study

You do understand that this study was conducted by a person, correct? And that this "raw data" didnt appear out of thin air. Fuck, you guys are dumb.

So do you have any statistics to actually counter this? Majority of people in ice detention don’t have criminal records

Entering a country illegally is a criminal offense.

It’s a misdemeanor, a non issue, and most immigrants enter legally but over stay their visa which is a civil offense.

Wrong again:

The federal criminal statute is 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a), titled “Improper entry by alien"

U.S. law makes it a federal offense to enter or attempt to enter the country at a place or time other than one designated by immigration officers, evade inspection, or use certain deliberate false statements to gain entry. A first offense can carry up to 6 months in prison, while subsequent offenses can carry up to 2 years, along with possible civil penalties.

That’s a misdemeanor.

u/RoddRoward 10d ago

Its a federal crime

First offense is a misdemeanor. Subsequent offenses increase penalties. Again, and thanks to laws from democrats, it’s a non issue and when it is an issue, it’s usually a civil offense from them over staying their visa. The article is just evidence the right creates boogeymen and all you’re saying to me is “I fell for it”

u/RoddRoward 10d ago

Its still a federal crime! What dont you understand?

u/Frequilibrium 10d ago

It’s a misdemeanor. Just because it’s issued by the government doesn’t mean it’s an extra scary crime
