I'm certainly aware of that given the pretzel bending that's been done to try and make his arguments seem logical.
Just wanted to point out just one of the myriad of logical failures in his arguments...

And you did it well. I just ignore people like that as I just see red when I read their illogical responses.

If the number of crimes goes down, then the probability of anyone becoming a victim also goes down.

So again, you fail.

Do you even think about the absurdities you write?

I guess not.

But I hope -- for your sake -- that you don't believe in them.

Default Not sure if the aliens here are illegal ...

Your post shows that you do not understand rudimentary math.

Let me see if I can make it simple enough. There are 100 residents. 50 are natives and 50 are illegal aliens. The illegal alines commit 1 cromwe a year and the natives 2. There are then 3 crime a year and the average resident has 3 chanes in a hundred or a 3% probability of being a victim.

The illegals are deported. There are now 50 natives with 2 crimes a year. The average resident now has 2 chances out of 50 to be a victim or a probability of 4%.

So the crime is down from 3 per year to 2 per year but the probability of a resident being a victim is up from 3% to 4%.

This is really simple stuff. Good luck..

The issue is the twisting of the data you use to fit your narrative. Nobody is buying it but you...
