When a guy I was debating with saw the stats for Hispanic crime, he then claimed that only illegal immigrants were commiting crimes and being released under the catch and release policy. Also, that ‘more immigrants=more crime’. This is what I said:

Do you have any sources to show the magnitude of this problem?

All of them say the opposite to what you claim, in fact, these papers give evidence to show immigration makes crime less likely than from those who native born, or who are second generation immigrants.

It doesn’t say they never commit crimes, however, but these papers would suggest that immigrants coming to the US are coming here for economic reasons.

For sure, we should look after our own (I am not American) but the problems are more at the top than at the bottom – specifically the neoliberal regime and the amount of money spent on military intervention overseas (something I will get around to in my threads on capitalism).

First generation immigrants are more likely to keep low, for fear of getting caught and sent back to their countries. The problems are economic, poverty and enclosure due to capitalism is the problem. This is why I see Trump’s rhetoric as the standard nationalist witch hunt that stirs up patriotic feelings towards outsiders. These tactics usually end in more misery, as the indiginous population demands more laws, which can eventually be turned on them.

Obama instated catch and release

That doesn’t apply to: Aliens who “pose a threat to national security, border security, or public safety.”

Aliens who are “misdemeanants and new immigration violators.”

It only applies to ‘Other Immigration Offences’. Those not in the first two categories of high risk, would not be detained and deported, and therefore CBP agents were advised to not waste resources arresting them but rather focus on priority one and priority two offenders.

Illegal migrants only take up 5% of the workforce, around 8,000,000 out of 11,000,000.

Mexican migration has been declining, but non-Mexican immigration increased by about 350,000 around 2014.

Which is why I prefer women and especially women whose opinions conform to mine. Guys and debating with guys is just depressing. I tell people what they are to me and what I want from them or with them and otherwise try to turn a situation to my advantage or to use the debate to showcase things I think are important or demonstrative on several levels but would prefer just looking at and creating what I like and enjoy and not fighting with men. If I could, I would change them one way or another, maybe into women, or otherwise wish for their utter demise as they are.

Thats a great attitude, but it’s off topic. 😉

There has been so much hysteria since Trump has come to power, when you look away from the news and actually look at the statistics and research, you can see how both left and right are full of shit.
