Thanks for making my case, Hispanics are 16.4% of the population, and comit 6% of the Mass Murderers since 1982, meaning that the higher the hispanic population, the lower the crime rate of the population....
He didn't make your case, mate. That was a study on mass murders, not crime rate. And the study found that a more or less equal percentage of the respective population commit the same amount of mass murders. In other words, white people may commit more mass murder overall, but the same percentage of all white people become mass murderers as the percentage of all Hispanics become mass murderers.
I don't like the term Hispanic. It's too vague. It's meant to encompass all people south of Texas, but plenty of those people are white or black.

"Hispanic" ain't a race. It's a dishonest "legal" label. Like as in a blond hair blue eyed lady with white skin of Swedish family but born and raised in ARgentina IS a Hispanic or Latina. OTOH: a short little dude of Aztec and Spanish family but born and raised in Ireland is NOT Hispanic, he'd be an Irishman. In both cases; I'm talking about people who are citizens of those countries, NOT legal or illegal aliens.

Mass murders are only a small percentage of overall murders, so you haven't proven that Hispanics commit less murders than other groups.
They might well commit more, relative to their percentage of the population.
...the problem is that most of the radical right wingers are sick to their heads which would make it difficult for them to get guns, and therefore oppose all these sensible measures...
The people you call "radical right wingers" are more law abiding than other groups. Just compare Occupy Wall Street (radical left) to Tea Party rallies (politically conservative), where people pick up after themselves instead of trashing local businesses, rioting, looting, committing arson, etc.
We don't need immigration reform or Kate's law or any of that. Or, if we do, how could we possibly know that?
We should start by enforcing the current laws. We can't judge our current laws now because we're treating them more as guidelines. We don't know if current immigration is effective or not until we actually do it properly. Once we let the laws work as they're meant to, we can decide what changes should be made, if any.
When will the people in our government realize your post is the answer to the problem? I wrote the president and told him we don't need immigration reform. There is nothing wrong with the laws on the books now and they were put there to take care of immigration by logical people. The problem is our immigration laws are not being enforced.
He wrote me back and told me I had an interesting prospective. The "leader" of our country that swore to uphold all our laws thinks that to enforce our immigration laws as they are written into law is an "interesting prospective." I think it is an interesting prospective that he does not realize it is his job to see that all laws are enforced. I don't think there was anything in the oath of office he took that entitles him to pick and choose which laws he likes enough to enforce. His job is to enforce all of them.
