Out of status aliens and crime

Out of status aliens and crime TRUMP: "Over the thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country and thousands more lives will be lost if we don't act right now." THE FACTS: His statement that people in the country illegally are a special menace to public safety is at odds with plentiful research. Multiple studies from social scientists and the Cato Institute found that people here illegally are less likely to commit crime than U.S. citizens, and legal immigrants are even less likely to do so. A March study by the journal Criminology found "undocumented immigration does not increase violence." The study of the 1990 through 2014 said states with bigger shares of undocumented people have lower crime rates. A study in 2017 by Robert Adelman, a sociology professor at University of Buffalo, analyzed 40 of crime data in 200 metropolitan areas and found that immigrants helped lower crime. New York City, for example, has the nation's largest population of immigrants living in the country illegally — about 500,000 — and in 2017 had only 289 murders among a total population of 8.5 million people, according to preliminary data. Those mean a person's odds of becoming a victim of homicide in diverse New York City were about the same in 2017 as they were in Montana. And Ruben Rumbaut, a University of California, Irvine sociology professor, co-authored a recent study that noted crime rates fell sharply from 1990 to 2015 at a time when illegal immigration increased. |

The studies show that native born are more violent and criminal than aliens, legal or out of status. Trump ignores the facts, but sane people should not.
