The Myth of the Criminal Immigrant

According to the survey, the number of immigrants in most areas today is more than 1980, and violent crime is also less. The Marshall project extends the survey data to 2016 and shows that descent rate of crime rate is higher than rise rate even if immigrant population almost almost completely increases

In 136 metropolitan areas close to 70% of respondents, the immigrant population has increased between 1980 and 2016, and the crime is stable or decreasing. The number of areas with increased crime and immigration is much less - in 54 areas, slightly more than one quarter of the total. The crime rate at 10 places where the increase in immigration in 2016 was the largest was lower than that in 1980.

However, the argument that immigrants brought crime to the United States has promoted many of the policies that have been formulated or proposed by the government so far: immigration, travel, visa restrictions, enforcement of border enforcement, on the Mexican border Construction plan of the wall along. This month, the Department of Justice asked California to respond to the state's refusal that local police would allow immigrants and customs officers to detent and expel undocumented immigrants on charges of crime I filed a lawsuit. On Tuesday, California's Orange County signed an agreement to support the case. However, since 1980, the county's immigrant population has more than doubled and overall violent crime has declined by over 50%.

There is a pattern similar to that Mr. Trump has recently made a conflict between Oakland, California and Lawrence, Massachusetts, two local leaders. He explained the two cities as a breeding ground for drugs and crimes brought by immigrants. However, in Auckland like Orange County, the number of immigrants increased and the crime rate declined. In Lawrence, the crime rate of murder and robber has risen, but the proportion of overall violent crime is down by 10%.

In general, the data of this study suggests that immigration has the effect of reducing the average crime, or that there is no relationship between them. The 54 regions that grew simultaneously in the study were coincidental rather than causal. This is a consistent pattern every 10 years from 1980 to 2016. The immigrant population and the crime are not increasing together.

I completed the cultural wealth of "myth of criminal immigrants", this is masterpiece of Anna Frag. And when I was told I began to inspire what I call "immigrants do not increase crime." Poor people who do not realize. My colleague's house was hit by FBI!

This part of me deals with changes in immigration economics, especially immigration economics. Especially one of the things I tried was to deal with the economic myth that I called immigrants. I refer not only to myths of present immigrants, but also immigrant myths in American history, especially the so-called primary immigrants, immigrants from 1880 to 1925. Sometimes demographics and economists talk about this. The first great immigrants, like immigrants since the mid-1960s, were the second largest immigrants from the mid-1960s to today.

There are many myths and stereotypes about immigrants that help make our existing system permanent. One of the myths is that immigrants will strengthen the economy and do better things than indigenous Americans. This was once true, but it has not been so for more than 25 years. This fact is supported by data showing that the immigrant 's poverty level to the United States is much higher than that of indigenous people. This is some annoying data from immigration research center:

Historically, in the United States, large immigrants have been accompanied by threats and stereotypes of immigrants afraid of crime. A century ago, the main committee investigated the relationship between immigrants and crime; everyone discovered that the involvement of foreign-born crimes is small. The current period reflects the past. During the past quarter century people were warned of large immigration problems, especially undocumented immigrants from Latin America. However, in the same period, the proportion of violent crime and property crime decreased by half, the proportion of crime in cities with high entry rate became more pronounced, young foreign born men are less likely to be jailed by locals became. More and more contemporary research supports the evidence that immigrant crime is low
