I've never understood why immigrants bringing crime with them is such a big deal NOW. Large amounts of criminals among arriving immigrants is as American as apple pie.
Immigrants have always brought a crime wave with them. Italians, Irish, Jews, Polish, Russians...all groups that brought us some of the most ruthless criminals in this history of this country. And many of them came here illegally although a bunch of those crooks came here legally too.
Those immigrant groups basically invented organized crime in this county featuring bootlegging, murder for hire, illegal gambling, brothels, speakeasies, etc, etc...
And i can't think of any groups since then that have come here and unleashed a comparable crime wave to those early immigrants. That's because there are none.
Are you blurring the lines between legal immigrants and illegal aliens? Your last sentence was totally ridiculous and uncalled for.
Yup, once again people have been brainwashed into lumping all immigrants together because of leftist propaganda. Let's make it clear one more time.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are here illegally. They sneaked over the border with no regard to laws. The have no right to be here, pay little or no taxes.
LEGAL IMMIGRANTS waited in line, filled out forms, payed fees to live here and get green cards and many eventually become U.S. citizens.
If you can't distinguish between the two which are as different as day and night, maybe you shouldn't be discussing immigration.
