What is it about being a US citizen that increases criminality? Shouldn't we expect that crime comes down as the US has been a leader in immigration, considering immigrants commit less crime? Has crime come down in Europe as it became a leader? I've been trying to make sense of the statistics. Interested to hear any explanation that can reconcile these contrasting observations.

Generally it seems to be more related that if you are an immigrant, you more likely try to keep your heads down. This comes from a video about immigration in sweden. For which the first generation of immigrants want to contribute to society in most cases, while the second generation seems to be more open to crime. The second generation does of course has then the citizenship and are not considered to be immigrants an…

Thanks, that's what I think too.

Ive gotten the same response, knee jerk reactions that regurgitate CNN talking points and assumptions that im a Trumpist. Im a lifelong NDP / Green Party supporter. lol..

I understand why it happens, and I am a registered republican, but that's mostly because I align most with small government and low regulatory environments philosophically. In practice, my voting record is probably some random smattering of blue, red, and green. I vote for the candidate I think is best, and I try to evaluate all candidates based on their positions before looking at their party affiliation. But also I…

Well, then you should be voting for the party which will change the voting system.

>but the Biden admin just plain refused to execute the laws. The Biden admin tried to pass the single most restrictive immigration law the US has ever seen with bipartisan support from all but the most progressive democrats. Please tell me, who killed that bill? >As an added benefit, it would get rid of the illegal wages overnight Speaking of laws not being enforced, republicans have spent 30 years bitching about imm…

I'm late on this reply; have been solo parenting while the spouse was out of town, but I wanted to say thank you for the detailed response. Also, I understand why you presume I voted for the republican candidate during the most recent presidential election, but I assure you I did not. Trump's interview with Bloomberg Business solidified beyond any doubt that he was a fool that had no idea how tarrifs worked. I am equ…

> My initial response was to point out that somehow Trump has quelled the rush of migrants without new legislation as a reference against what Biden's administration seemed not to be able to do

It is good that Biden did not flagrantly violate the constitution as well as remove due process, black bagging people in the streets and invading cities with military personnel that were not wanted, in order to accomplish his goal of distracting people from their diminishing material conditions by blaming Mexicans.

Can you illustrate the actual problem caused by immigration to the USA, undocumented or otherwise? Because none of the promised improvements through violent deportation have resulted: no decrease in unemployment, no decrease in costs, no decrease in crime. Quite the opposite, actually. So at what point do you acknowledge the obvious, that this was culture war nonsense?
