Hooda, from what I read in the article, neither the primary study


cited nor the others it referred to at the end were about conviction rates. They looked at the crime statistics compared with reported stats about immigration. So one constantly harped on example is not a valid response.

If anything, it showed a decline in crime rates, although no causal relationship established. Like I said to Tom, you can make all kinds of arguments, but the Trumpian argument that immigration causes crime to spike has been debunked multiple times - most recently by the study described in the linked article.
