Will getting rid of more immigrants in the U.S. make our neighborhoods more dangerous?

They have found that with a flow of immigration, crime goes down. So, aren't we making our neighborhoods more dangerous if we start deporting more illegal immigrants?

Rethinking Crime and Immigration
Notably, we found a signi?cantly lower rate of violence among Mexican-Americans compared to blacks and whites. A major reason is that more than a quarter of those of Mexican descent were born abroad and more than half lived in neighborhoods where the majority of residents were also Mexican. In particular, ?rst-generation immigrants (those born outside the United States) were 45 percent less likely to commit violence than third-generation Americans, adjusting for individual, family, and neighborhood background. Second-generation immigrants were 22 percent less likely to commit violence than the third generation. This pattern held true for non-Hispanic whites and blacks as well. Our study further showed living in a neighborhood of concentrated immigration was directly associated with lower violence (again, after taking into account a host of correlated factors, including poverty and an individual’s immigrant status). Immigration thus appeared “protective” against violence.

YES WE ARE! and you have solid proof. More immigrants in one area actually makes it safer.
Immigration: No Correlation With Crime
The new report even bolsters claims by some academics that increased immigration makes the United States safer. A second study, released earlier this month by Washington-based nonprofit Immigration Policy Center, found that on the national level, U.S.-born men ages 18-39 are five times more likely to be incarcerated than are their foreign-born peers. And, while the number of illegal immigrants in the country doubled between 1994 and 2005, violent crime declined by nearly 35% and property crimes by 26% over the same period. The PPIC even determined that on average, between 2000 and 2005, cities such as Los Angeles that took in a higher share of recent immigrants saw their crime rates fall further than cities with a lower influx of illegals.

Yes, every criminal that we take off the streets makes our neighborhoods safer as you know.
You are not very quick on the uptake. Have you not been reading my links? Here we go again just for you. Please take your time to research these facts before making these childish mistakes over and over and over again and again and again.
Statistics point to significantly higher crime rates in the illegal immigrant population. Document forgery, identity theft, and illegal use of stolen Social Security Numbers are nearly universal among illegals. But consider this data regarding hard crime: In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.
Illegals kill 9,000 people annually

Illegal aliens are killing American citizens at an alarming rate. Why don't we hear about this on the news? |

I agree with the article from your race biased reference. All illegals should be deported, to the same neighborhood so they can all live together without crime. Why, if your story holds any credit, is one of every three people in our local jail on hold by ICE or NIS? For mostly violent crimes and drug trafficking? People we really need here in the states!
You are so biased, i'm surprised anyone even clicks on your B.S. |

Are you kidding me, where did you get this from one town, I don't know where you live, but the illegal ones in our area, have been breaking into our homes, causing car accidents, and raping our women, we don't have enough police to get them all out, how you figure bringing them here would cause less crime |

blahh blahhh blahh lets decriminalize their behavior. Fact is more crime is committed by illegal aliens than justified by your figures... I do not believe your source has factored in for the difference and thus has diluted their base for this little social experiment. |

this has to be one of the biggest lies you have posted to date. Our prisons are full of statistics that say other wise, look at the violence and the gang affiliation. even legal hispanics do not go into the neighborhoods ruled by illegals. All they are breeding is second and third generations of non respecting law breakers. your arguments are getting weaker, |

Notably, I found a 1000000000000% greater rate of violence among Mexican-Americans compared to blacks and whites after adjusting for the figures I pulled out of my @ss! (if they can adjust with figures pulled out of their @sses, I should be able to also!)
Illegal, immoral, criminal invaders commit 50% of the crimes in AZ yet only make up between 6 and 9% of the population! Is Chicago that much different than here? Also 29% of the prison population in the US (not counting immigration violations) is made up of illegal, immoral, criminal invaders!
Also Mexican-Americans are legal residents. Mexicans are illegal. See the difference. Why do you persist on using statistics from legal residents and making them sound like they are about criminals? Do you know the difference? |

No!. And getting rid of MEChA, and La Raza organizations will stop all the non-sense and B.S. they and the other ethnocentric groups like to spread in books using U.S. taxpayer dollars to do so.
Don't believe me!... Go to a MEChA meeting, and see for yourself. They are also members of La Raza.
They believe that they are sovereign from our country's laws. And where in the hell they got the idea that Oregon, and Washington was a part of their Aztlan B.S. is beyond any common sense regarding History. Oregon, and Washington were British occupied and were a part of Canada.

Oh and Tony... I've been told by several legal immigrants that in a couple of more years, they too are going back to their own countries to live a full, and rich life. The U.S. has been so kind to them to fill their pockets so they can do so.

Forum.. over these years the Federal Government wanted the cheap labor from illegal aliens. But they did NOT want to pay the costs of putting them in jail. When the illegal aliens did not claim to be illegal aliens, the Feds didn't say anything, and they simply remained in jail at the States Expense. But things have changed on a number of levels. The States connected and finally, the search for the illegal aliens in the States Jails began and lordy.. they found a whole bunch. State by state, the Immigration Service is looking for them, and that represents a large body of the criminals they are removing at this point.
But it is a fact too, that if you go to the Department of Justice figures and look at those figures, they are very serious number with a huge number of crimes including narcotics and guns. However, this article says it all. While the article Tony cites does not use outside resources such as Department of Justice, or State Justice files, this lady does. Decide, then, for yourself. It is a little old.. but things really got worse so it still applies. And keep in mind, a lot of this crime happened in the Mexican American Community at that time. It is very, very rapidly spreading.
http://www.city-journal.org/html/14_1_the_illegal_alien.html
Better yet... do a search for illegal aliens crime on your own. Find out for yourself.
By the way.. for Yahoo....
1 - 10 of 10,100,000 for illegal aliens crime
===========================
A last point. The illegal aliens are bringing massive amounts of narcotics to the Barrio. Mix people and narcotics, and the number of murders shoot way up and things get very ugly. So no.. remove the illegal aliens and the crime goes way down. |

What a bunch of crap its just another way to justify them being here.Illegals commit crimes too.And to say it would make our community worst is just wrong.I say lets deport them and see for ourselves and I would bet that what you want to believe will turn out wrong in all areas. |

You must live on another planet. crime statistics for illegals are in newspapers all the time and the numbers aren't low. In 1980 Fed & St facilities held fewer than 9,000 alien criminals. At the end of 2003 appx 267,000 illegal aliens were incarcerated. At $25,000 per inmate per year that is $6.7 billion per year.
In Maricopa Co. illegal aliens comprised 19% of those sentenced for felonies in 2007. Tucson Citizen, Aug 3,2008 edition.
Illegals accounted for 128 aggravated assaults.
33.5% drugs, 35.8% kidnappings. 13% robberies, 20.3% felony DUI, 20.7% crimes with weapons, 10.6% murders/manslaughter, 96% smuggling, 44.4% forgeries/fraud, 85.3% false ID |

Nope, all the FACTS indicate that reducing and removing illegal immigrants will cause a reduction in crimes. But hey nice cut and paste job again Tony. |

Most of these border jumpers won't commit any notable crimes because they fear deportation. And Most of those communities your asking about are mostly Mexican-Americans, or chicanos, or pochos, whichever one. Yes ,that's right, the mexican nationals call the mexican-americans pochos, which means something that has lost it's color, or transparent. But here they are living in america , making american money, driving american made cars, using american public transportation, watching american t.v. spending american money.using american healthcare. what more is there to prove that these people are hypocrites? |

No....and Blacks and Whites do not commit near the number of crimes as illegals do. A typical pod in a county jail is roughly 75% Hispanic 20% White and 5% Black. Yes. Really. Give or take 1 or 2 percentage points, of course. Natives, Asians, and Middle Eastern are held separately. Half that 75% Hispanic jail population Have immigration holds and speak no English! |
