I asked criminologists about immigration and crime in the US. Their answers may surprise you

Kubrin: Across a variety of studies that use different years of data that focus on different areas of the United States — with some exceptions, there’s some nuance there. I don’t want to deny the nuance — in general, on average, we do not find a connection between immigration and crime, as is so often claimed. The most common finding across all these different kinds of studies is that immigration to an area is either not associated with crime in that area, or is negatively associated with crime in that area. Meaning more immigration equals less crime. It’s rare to find studies that show crime following increases in immigration or with larger percentage of the population that are immigrants.

  1. Did the studies differentiate between legal immigrants and illegal migrants?

  2. This from the people who think that if cops stop arresting and charging people for crimes that the crime rate has dropped.

    1. Exactly! That migrants don't cause crime is fake news. Thank you for finally agreeing.

  3. This chat is a clear demonstration that there is no longer enough common agreed upon facts of truth for the right and the left to ever have a discussion that can lead to progress. Each side deems the others facts as fake news. We are doomed
