I feel like I'm in a bizarro world where we we agree, yet you keep


arguing with me anyway.

I don't think there's anything inherently different between US citizens or illegal immigrants from Guatemala or Honduras that would cause one group or the other to commit more or less crimes than the other So if illegal immigrants DO commit less crime statistically, they're has to be a reason other than "maybe they're just lawful and hardworking" (which was balz's point) because most people everywhere are "lawful and hardworking". Turk's theory was that fear of deportation and wanting to keep a low profile might cause illegal immigrants to actually commit less crime. That makes sense to me. That seems to be your point too. Why are you arguing with me about that. I agreed with Turk. I agree with you. I'm not refusing to accept any numbers. I"m questioning balz's assertion that the LOWER crime numbers are because the people are "lawful and hardworking". I'm questioning the "why", not the statistics.

In any event, I've been sick for the last 11 days (literally... dr think dengue fever) and this argument is starting to make my brain hurt (literally) so I'm done.
