  Your straw man omitts one critical point, illegal aliens can’t commit crimes if they are not here to commit crimes.

    Irrelevant. The issue here is the flaw in your thinking: you have been conditioned to believe that every desperate person who crosses that border illegally is a murderer, a rapist, an arsonist, a thief, a drug dealer, etc. You have been conditioned to think this way by a constant stream of propaganda.

    undocumented immigrants have substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, US-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes. www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2014704117

    If someone believes that a person who crosses the border without authorization is by definition a criminal and is subject to consequences, that would be understandable if they weren’t also planning to vote a convicted felon into the Whitehouse.

      It relivent, illegal alien crime can be prevented by not letting illegal aliens in the country. It doesn’t even matter if the debunked stats are true those crimes could be stopped.

      You really should get your TDS looked at before it becomes more debilitating.

        That’s all you got? People so concerned with crime are voting for a criminal, and all you can say is “TDS”! That must be how you deal with your cognitive dissonance.
