Immigrants, Crime, And The Democrats

 

Immigrant crime is in the news, because Trump is talking about it—although if you read the Washington Post, the New York Times, and other MSM outlets, what you see is “Immigrant Crime Denial”.

Samples of Immigrant Crime Denial from Google News:

• What’s behind recent false claims about immigrants and crime? Politifact, September 27, 2024

• Trump and allies mischaracterize data on immigrants with criminal convictions. Here’s context on what the numbers actually show, CBS, September 30, 2024

• Trump seizes on one block of a Colorado city to warn of migrant crime threat, even as crime dips, AP, October 10, 2024

And from the Christian Science Monitor, “modified, limited” crime denial:

• Trump hammers on ‘migrant crime.’ The reality: It’s not rampant, but a real concern. October 11, 2024

 

*The reality is that illegal immigration is up, and  so is “legal” immigration from high-crime areas south of the border and the Caribbean, from both work visas and more-or-less bogus refugees.
