Immigrants, including ILLEGAL, far less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans

 I predicted in one of the previous threads that we'll see a historic drop in crime in the next few years wherever the migrants were concentrated, and an economic boom too. You can set your watch to it.

The crime rate for illegal immigrants is 100% unless they came as children. I don’t believe in demonizing them though.

Not quite true.  But the rate of illegal immigrants that commit crimes is 100% for those who re-enter the United States after having previously been deported.

The study in question talks about "immigrants".  What percentage of Illegal Immigrants commit crimes?  There's a world of difference between Legal Immigrants and Illegal Immigrants in terms of behavior over time.

Illegal immigrants are more likely to commit crimes against other illegal immigrants than against American citizens.  Illegal immigrant victims are less likely to report being victimized to authorities for fear of being deported.  Illegal immigrants committing crimes are certainly less likely to be reported to authorities if people know that they are members of Transnational Gangs.

Were the Mariel Boatlift aliens more or less law abiding?  They were less law abiding, and no one disputes this.  The present state of our border has caused Venezuela to release prisoners and send them off on the road to the Rio Grande into America.  It cuts their budgets.  There is a cooperative effort from pols to gaslight the rest of us for refusing to back down from the position that allowing people to freely enter America unvetted (which we're pretty close to) is simply intolerable and wrong.  

In fact, recent surveys indicate that most Cubans who arrived in the Mariel exodus are not much different from earlier exiles. The majority of both groups identify with the Republican Party, pay their taxes, value home ownership and American citizenship and practice Catholicism.

About 4,000 Mariel refugees are behind bars, doing time in state or federal prisons for crimes committed here. An additional 2,600 Mariel arrivals are held in custody by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. And 375 more have been deported to Cuba. That represents about 5% of those who came from Mariel.

 Mind you out of 125,000 that arrived on "Marielita" boatlifts, Castro certainly did empty jails and mental institutions among those arrivals.

Your figures do not include those released from prison who have remained in the US.  That's a pretty big omission.

 The point is the vast majority of "Marieleta" arrivals became productive citizens, in fact they became Republican voting citizens. Probably in margins significant enough that gives the GOP control of the state of Florida, the irony should not be lost here.
