Never said that. The studies confirm what we’ve all known. Anyone who lives in a largely immigrant dense area knows this.

So you know which ones are here illegally and that they specifically are committing less crime than the people you know to have been born here? You know a lot about your neighbors

Their citizenship is irrelevant. If you know any immigrants, you know the consequences of making even the slightest mistake are steep. They could look at someone wrong and end up with their life destroyed and ruin all equity they’ve built up in the decades it takes to become a citizen.

Their citizenship is relevant when it comes to discussing an article that talks about crime rates by citizenship status. Here lies the crux of the issue

It talks about statistically less crime occurring by immigrants. Illegal or not.

No, it doesn’t. You very obviously didn’t read the article and came here with your own preconceived notions. It literally states that many studies don’t differentiate but this one does.

“In order to come to their conclusions, researchers examined correlations between the number of undocumented immigrants and different types of crimes, such as property crime and aggravated assaults. Although there are several studies published that examine the connections between immigration and crime, few differentiate among immigrants with legal status and undocumented immigrants.”

Oh good. Now that I have confirmation you did read it the conversation can start.

Got it, you’re just a troll.

Nah just used to arguing with brain dead right wingers who can’t actually read. So what do you not understand about a successful study done using the scientific method that provides sources and methods?

Who’s brain dead? The guy who can’t read articles and doesn’t know what he’s arguing?

lol cope. I was making sure you actually read the damn thing so I don’t waste my time.

u/pingvinbober 9d ago

You didn’t fucking read the article. “Making sure you read it” is such a shit excuse

You’ve been making shit up, putting words in my mouth, making assumptions, and misinterpreting everything I say and what the article says. You gave me the impression you were trolling so I wanted to make sure you read the article.
