Immigrants commit half the crimes US-born citizens do

David Bier of the Cato Institute just eviscerated the Trump immigration panic with actual data before the House panel on Birthright Citizenship. Nationwide, immigrants including undocumented ones are half as likely to be incarcerated for crimes as US-born Americans. Traffic fatalities in California are about 25% lower for immigrant drivers. Texas illegal immigrants commit fewer road felonies. Lower alcohol abuse rates. The whole point: "since immigrants overall reduce the crime rate, immigration reduces the likelihood that any one of us will be harmed." This is the facts side of the argument. Republicans aren't interested.
