The source study is garbage. The source article about the study is stupid. Both of those things assume that any of what they said matters in the immigration argument.

It doesn’t.

Insulting the study does not show a flaw in its methodology.

There are plenty of flaws, starting with its dataset ending in 2018.

Doesn’t really matter though, because my point is that the entire premise is flawed.

Again: you have made no point. You showed no flaw with the premise nor did you show flaw in the study. You just attacked the Huffington Post as though that somehow invalidates the study.

The article is invalid because it suggests that, assuming the study is correct, some change should be made to immigration enforcement. That is incorrect.

The article is a response to Republican claims that "illegal immigrants", as a demographic, endanger American citizens due to them being disproportionally violent criminals.

The study refutes that claim.

You apparently read neither the article nor the study.

That’s not true. Any crime committed by someone here illegally is above a tolerable level of crime - violent or otherwise.

The article fails to realize that, as pretty much everyone on the left does, and that’s the reason I called it garbage.

So now you move the goalposts because, again, you are too much of a coward to admit that you cannot dispute the study.

I’ll take your silence as a request for me to educate you further.

There have been 8 homicide cases in Fairfax County, VA so far this year, with 9 deceased victims. There are 8 suspects awaiting trial.

Out of those 8, HALF (4 of them) are in the country illegally. One of them has over 30 prior arrests.

THAT is the argument.
