Undocumented Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native born Americans...and we need

them to be "Documented" much faster...in 6 months or less, rather than the current 6 years or longer. DJT is doing NOTHING about this...in fact he killed the best Border Security and Immigration Bill in many decades...just so he could throw stones at hard working immigrants and gain votes from non-thinking supporters...like Baron.

Here's an AI summary supporting this contention of relative crime rates...
-----------------
AI Overview
Numerous studies indicate that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes compared to native-born Americans.

Key findings

Lower Incarceration Rates: A 2023 analysis by the Cato Institute found the native-born incarceration rate to be 1,221 per 100,000, while the rate for undocumented immigrants was 613 per 100,000.

Lower Arrest Rates: A study based on data from the Texas Department of Public Safety found that undocumented immigrants were arrested at less than half the rate of native-born citizens for violent and drug crimes, and at one-quarter the rate for property crimes. Another Texas study reported that the criminal conviction rate for undocumented immigrants was 45 percent lower than that of native-born Texans.

Correlation with Declining Crime Rates: Studies have shown that periods of increased immigration have been associated with declining crime rates, particularly violent and property crime. For example, the total crime rate in the U.S. decreased by 60.4% between 1980 and 2022, while the immigrant share of the population more than doubled during the same period.

Reasons for Lower Crime Rates: Several theories attempt to explain this phenomenon:

Self-selection: Immigrants may be more likely to be motivated and ambitious, traits that are often associated with lower criminal behavior.
Deterrence: The possibility of deportation may act as a stronger deterrent for undocumented immigrants compared to native-born citizens.
Social factors: Stronger social bonds, community ties, and lower rates of single-parent households among immigrant families may contribute to less crime.
Economic revitalization: Immigrants may contribute to economic growth and job creation, reducing the motivation for criminal activity.
Data limitations

It is important to note that gathering accurate data on undocumented immigrant criminality is challenging due to the lack of systematic recording of immigration status by most law enforcement agencies. However, studies that have attempted to overcome these limitations consistently point towards lower crime rates among undocumented immigrants compared to native-born Americans.
