You are a fricking liar. Mark Levine went over the murder stats for 5 large states on his show yesterday or the day before.

The data was from 2009 because it hasn't been collected since - wonder who decided to stop collecting it?

Crime rates are not particularly relevant stats in assessing impact of illegal immigrant crime. If a town of 20K sees a 10K "undocumented" influx, and illegal vs citizen crime rates are equivalent (which they assuredly are not), crimes committed will rise by 50%.


I agree, they're not equivalent - illegal immigrant crime rates are lower than citizen crime rates. And what town that isn't a small farming community ever sees an influx of 50% population of illegal immigrants?! 10k in a 20k community?! What insane world do you live in that this is a reality outside of the central valley in CA in rare instances?

accurately assessing the crime rate amongst a population of unknown size is obviously problematic


Which is why they went off of convictions. Good, old fashioned comparable numerators. We know a rough % of the population as illegal immigrants in various locations due to the census, so yay good denominator too!

Look there, we have us a fraction.

Hans van Spakovsky, the guy who just this week got embarrassed in Kobach's 'voter id' case in open court for faking numbers?

Yeah, I'm sure we're all shocked that he has imaginary numbers that say brown people are bad. SHOCKED!

How many categorized as "native-born" are anchor babies or the children of illegals?

Illegal immigrants sound awesome compared to everyone else here. We need to let in 50million per year, and kick out the legal citizens, so then the US will really prosper. It’d look like a mix of Honduras and Wakanda but better.

Look, if you're right, then it should be pretty easy to find some data supporting your premise. Nearly everything I've ever seen on the topic suggests that illegal immigrant populations in the US have equal or lower violent crime rates than the native citizenry. But please, cite something that says different.

And citing Levin isn't a good idea.

I imagine getting good statistics isn’t easy since not every jurisdiction inquires into citizenship.

honestly the whole conversation vis a vis illegal immigrants and crime is irrelevant. We need to exercise control over our borders for a variety of reasons.

Correct. There are a variety of good reasons to support massive immigration reform. The problem is that Republicans are retarded and want to push forth emotional arguments that are losers when the numbers are revealed.

First of all, the "numbers" in this case are very rough approximations at best. Hardly something to plant the flag of victory in.

Second, the fact that Republicans are bad at selling it is not the reasons Democrats oppose the idea of robust border security.

So you think there are somewhere between 30 and 48 million illegals here?

For being so confident about the number that's a pretty big range
