Immigrants are substantially less likely to be involved in crime than US born persons. Don't make stuff up if you can't find a reputable source.

If you're going to make the argument undocumented immigrants are murdering everyone, you have to actually cite something. This is conjecture.


https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-arrests-171-noncitizen...

> In fiscal year (FY) 2023 ERO arrested 73,822 noncitizens with criminal histories; this group had 290,178 associated charges and convictions with an average of four per individual. These included 33,209 assaults; 4,390 sex and sexual assaults; 7,520 weapons offenses; 1,713 charges or convictions for homicide; and 1,655 kidnapping offenses.


Ok, we're learning how to cite stuff. Now, how do we use that to support our thesis?


Do you have any evidence to back that up? Everything I've seen says that they statistically commit less crime.


> Hundreds of Americans have been killed by illegal immigrants recently.

Care to link any crime statistic from an official source to back up that statement?

Try again, this doesn't support your initial statement.
