Why do Anti-immigration activist think that only illegal immigrants........?

.......commit crime in the US?

1) Are they soo focused on their agenda, that they don't notice the crime committed by Americans?

2) Do they not have the resources to know how many Americans commit crime compared to illegal immigrants?

3) Do they just simply ignore the fact because the criminals are US Citizens?

Immigration: No Correlation With Crime

‘Immigrants Bring Crime’ Is a Myth


    




Pinky
1-in order of who is more likely to commit a crime: blacks, whites, others (illegals, immigrants, native americans, asians, all others)
2- I dont know from where the hell these people got those bad statistics, but look at the link i gave you and you will see it for yourself. It is a GOVERNMENT website. From the website: white americans are more likely to commit massacres, domestic violence crimes, child molestors and to own guns. also, a criminal is 90% likely to kill someone of their same race...in other words, if you are white you will kill a white, a black will kill a black...so on. Blacks are more likely to commit assaults, murder (not massacres) for robbery, robbery.
3- I think no one read your links
4- I'm not pro illegal immigration, but i dont like when people do not read and stereotype other people.
5- another new thing: the swine influenza...OMG, why the press is so likeit is a "new" influenza and it's pandemic? are they dumb or what? that is the same strain that attacked in 1920 H1N1, and they are making it to look like immigrants ( in here in YA) are the ones carrying the flu to the US, when TOURISTS, WHITE AMERICAN TOURISTS were the ones that came with the virus. also, the avian flu can be H1N1, and the same strain is responsible for half of the flu cases each year, so it is NOT NEW.

I think you may be confused.

Most Americans aren't anti immigrant, they are anti illegals.

Illegal immigrants enter this country illegally, thus just by entering the United States they are criminals.

Americans that support this mass invasion of illegals fail to understand that it is the act of coming here illegally, avoiding the laws of this country, breaking local, state, and federal laws, that people are against....not a persons nationality.

You must understand that there are people from all over the world that desire to come to America, and this country allows set numbers of these people to do just that. Theres a reason you have limits...and illegals are not following the rules of law.

Greasball Tony,

Americans are painfully aware of the crimes committed by legal residents.

Here's the point being illustrated by anti-ILLEGAL immigration activists: Every crime that's committed by an illegal, every woman that's raped by an illegal, every citizen killed by an illegal...these crimes should never have happened and wouldn't have happened if the illegal alien wasn't here in the first place!!

I know this is hard for you to wrap you head around, but give it a try.

Tony -- I own you and you know it!! How's it feel??

I haven't seen anyone denying the fact. But you like to severely down play the crimes committed by the illegals, and try to make them look like they're the innocent victim. How many times have you tried making it look like the illegals buying stolen ID's were the innocent victim of a scam?

I Might Be Showing Her My O Face
Hey Greasy, it would be a whole lot easier if you would ask your question in the question line, you know? Plenty of room to add "commit crime in the US".

And I've never heard anyone say only illegal aliens commit crime in the U.S., so I rate your straw man a 0 on a 10 point scale.


Sun Down
There will always be crime in the US. But wouldn't you want to stop criminals from coming into the country if you could? That would lower the number of crimes committed.


how_would_I_know
So let me see if I understand your logic correctly.. essentially what you're saying is..

It's OK for people to break into your house and eat everything in your fridge.. because you and your family do the same?

Just because citizens break laws doesn't mean we should import tens of millions of additional criminals.

I don't think that, nor does anyone else I know. It is just a double slap in the face when someone that is not even suppose to be here commits more crime. You would think they would behave themselves since they are illegal and not even an asset to the U.S.


mikea_va
Every American knows that Americans commit crimes in the US. I have not heard any American say that only illegals commit crime. Where are your sources??
What you fail to understand is that if illegals were not in the US in the first place, there would be LESS CRIME!!!
So are you saying that if illegals don't commit crimes they should stay?? Guess you forgot that they are already breaking the law by being here illegally.


mizzhollywood26
Hispanics do most of the crime committing. Illegal immigration is a crime in and of itself.


American Man
We dont. Only limp brained people would make that assumption. We are fighting this invasion and it may soon escalate to a warring faction.... because as we have said many times, not only are your illegal cousins responsible for a lot of crime, but they bring in disease! Wait, we consider the illegal alien invaders to be just that.... a disease!

1) So your brilliant idea is that if 1 American commits a crime we should import criminals from other countries? Put down the drugs! Your talking nonsense!
2)Yes and over 1/3 of crimes committed in the US are committed by illegal aliens!
3) If you have a problem you do NOT import more of the problem from another country! You would have to be a brain dead simian to think that is going to help!
4) First article is grouping legal immigrants with illegal, immoral, criminal invaders. You are trying to mislead the issue!
5) both articles are old! From a time when criminals were not classified as they are now. Immigrants may not bring crime but illegal, immoral, criminal invaders do! In AZ to the point where over 50% of the crime is committed by illegal aliens!
6) Over 99% of illegal, immoral criminal invaders commit a felony within 30 days of their immigration violation. Now tell me how many Americans commit a felony within 30 days of becoming an American!


Ali A
We don't think "only" illegal aliens commit crime in the U.S. We know full well that plenty of Americans do as well and see no point in importing yet more criminals from anywhere in the world. We have enough of our homegrown variety, and unfortunately, crime is a "job" Americans definitely will and do do.

By the way, just because there are (still) numerically more Americans than there are illegal aliens, it's reasonable to expect that there will be MORE Americans committing crimes. However, EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN IS A LAW BREAKER and a fair number commit other crimes as well ranging identity theft and fraud to rape, pedophilia, and murder.

They don't. It is the tripling effect of illegals that makes us notice crime at all.

In the past few weeks drunk illegals have killed 3 US citizens.

US citizens have a right to be here - illegal invaders don't.

Since some are causing this swine flu,
they should stay where they are and
not come over here.
And IMO, they are committing a crime by
coming over here illegally!


m.a.i.i.
no, but crime committed by citizens is bad enough, when you have millions here committing more crimes and these people aren't suppose to be here in the first place, it is totally out of control. especially all the lives lost at the hands of some one who should not be here. these are senseless deaths because our government will not enforce the laws.

i know they are not the only ones. listen, we have united states citizens committing crimes. we are able to find those US citizens because they are in the system. when illegals come here and do a crime they are not registered. it's harder to find them. how hard is that to figure out?


StoneCold
Once again Tony you confuse U.S. Pro law, anti-illegal activists as anti-immigrant. We're not anti immigrant as immigrants apply and come legally. While illegals don't. Can you comprehend the difference?

We know that U.S. citizens commit crimes. We also know that visa holders, and green card residents commit crime. By your logic I'm suppose to put up illegals crimes on top of that. Well, I'm not about to. If I had my way of justice enforced (capital punishment) we wouldn't have as much crime. China is a good example of how to diffuse the problem with crime. One Trial, no appeals, and if convicted, taken out back of the court house and shot. And that's for the worst of the crimes committed there. All others get jail time, and hard labor.

You are so focused on American crimes that you want us to believe that illegals crimes are totally harmless. The facts are Tony, that if the illegals who are committing crimes here were not here, then they would be committing crimes in their own country, and that would be one less crime committed against other Americans, other Visa card holders, and other Green card residents who are/become the victims of those crimes.

They don't care as long as they get rid of all the brown people. It's like they are sending out the message:

"if you are a US citizens that commits a crime, it's fine by us, as long as you're not an illegal".

Reactionary stances, like those of anti-immigration activists, are well known to be ignorant and intellectually limited to say the least - the world is very simple to many of them and in addition, weak minds need a scapegoat. Immigrants are easy targets.

EDIT: I can tell by all the thumbs-down that the subjects of my comment are the only ones answering. Truth hurts, doesn't it?
