On camera, AfD crowd praises murder of German CDU politician by a Nazi

[Former President tack50]

There is an undeniable truth and that is that immigrants in Europe commit more crimes than their share of the population. That is an easy to find fact. Interestingly, this is truer for 2nd generation immigrants born in Europe than for 1st generation immigrants born elsewhere. So arguably this is a failure of integration policies and not necesarily immigration?

I am unsure of the direction of crime rates in Europe in recient years. If I remember correctly there has been an increase but how large and widespread is that increase in the first place?

Plus even that does not mean that immigrants as a group should be criminalized. On the contrary we need to work harder to ensure that no one (immigrant or otherwise) commits crimes.

We could and should also adopt smarter immigration policies that ensure this doesn't happen in the future. But smarter immigration doesn't mean no or less immigration. I believe in Canada and the US immigrants actually commit a lower, not higher share of crimes than native born citizens. Maybe we should learn something from that (I am particularly biased towards Canada's point system in fact which ensures they get "good" immigrants I think).
