Great news!

So, when we deport them all, they can go home, and lower the crime rates in their birth nations!

"Root Cause" fixed!

Critics of mine are constantly finding new complaints about my anger over the border. The latest is false criticism regarding statistics about illegal alien crime I posted a few times last week. Look to CA prison pop too. Fluctuates between 30 to 50%. Illegals aren’t 30 to 50% of overall CA population.

Maybe we should rebrand illegal immigrants as “transplants,” a group I’ve noticed many urban leftists expressly despise. They can’t stand it when Don from Idaho moves to their neighborhood (no criminal record, master’s degree in computer science) but welcome José with open arms (his very presence proves a willingness to break the law).

I suspect this is because they can clearly see how Don impacts their lives. Don takes their brunch reservation. Don takes a comp sci job from their slightly less qualified friend. Don lives right next door. But they don’t really interact with José… not in any meaningful way, at least. If anything, they like José because he offers to cut their grass at even more of a cut rate than Enrique.

So here’s our new pitch: “Thousands of transplants set to imminently arrive in YOUR city. Expect a rent spike in your cool, urban neighborhood. Be prepared to lose out on those concert tickets you wanted, a transplant will probably get there first. You will have to book reservations at your favorite restaurant 2, maybe 3 months in advance. You will run into people who *claim* they’re from your city just because they LIVE there!”

With that byline, we would have immigration reform in no time!

These illegal aliens have no intention of VOTING - how daft must Biden be to not see this. These ferocious MS-13 members would kill and decapitate even Biden, his wife and their daughter without hesitation given the chance. While bringing these killers in, the Dems still wish to take away legally obtained citizens guns. We have enough savages in our major cities without importing more. The Philadelphia area has had so many gun shot victims in the past 72 hours that my phone is almost constantly buzzing (the Citizen's app). Dems are going to eventually wake up and realize they didn't import "voters." They imported killers, terrorists and abused women and children that are marketed into slavery. It's hard to fathom that Biden has any support.

The only causal connection is that they DO IT. But other than that no big deal. Until one of these newcomer darlings gets his hands on an unprotected Biden cousin.

Look at those honest faces….they are just looking for a better life and softer prey. The ability for the elite to hide in secure buildings and suburban fortresses is beginning to dissolve. Crime has become more random than ever. Sooner or later they have to come outside or they can live like an inmate.

Build the wall and deport them all.

I got slammed into at a stop light one night a few years ago by a drunk illegal immigrant who - when I approached his truck to see if he was OK - took off from the scene. He was apprehended and arrested by the local police -- the very nice cop who was helping me out at the scene told me that his colleague had determined that the driver was, in fact, an illegal immigrant (by his own admission!). Fast forward five years and the the idiots in my state - from the governor on down and including a majority of moronic voters - decided that we should give illegals driver's licenses because it will make everyone "safer." You're correct, Ann... we don't need any bogus study to tell us what's going on when the lunacy is occurring right before our very eyes.

Ann, as you probably know, the FBI has long used the Uniform Crime Reports to distort the narrative on crime to serve whatever their current messaging purpose is. As my astute University Criminology Professor put it: What is crime? Crime is a function of criminal law. If you have more law, you have more crime. If you have no law, you have no crime.

Back when law enforcement was fairly standard, reporting was more accurate and the UCR was a reliable report on whether crime was actually rising or falling. I am sure you noticed that the FBI has become politicized. You can expect that any information coming out of the FBI today is pure political spin. The UCR depend on crimes being reported by local police and accepted by the FBI as accurate. If shoplifters are never prosecuted, and police are prevented from arresting them, then no crime has ever occurred. So you see how this works. Conversely, if the FBI wants to advance a narrative that say, 'white supremacists' are a major criminal concern, they can produce all manner of 'incidents' to support their Psychological Operation.

Example: The FBI’s crime statistics estimates for 2022 show that national violent crime decreased an estimated 1.7% in 2022 compared to 2021 estimates:

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter recorded a 2022 estimated nationwide decrease of 6.1% compared to the previous year.

In 2022, the estimated number of offenses in the revised rape category saw an estimated 5.4% decrease.

Aggravated assault in 2022 decreased an estimated 1.1% in 2022.

Robbery showed an estimated increase of 1.3% nationally.

So according to the FBI, violent crimes were trending down in 2022.

However, Hate Crime Statistics, 2022 provides information about the offenses, victims, offenders, and locations of hate crimes. In 2022, law enforcement agency participation significantly increased, resulting in 14,631 law enforcement agencies, with a population coverage of 91.7% submitting incident reports. These reports involved 11,634 criminal incidents and 13,337 related offenses as being motivated by bias toward race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, sexual orientation, disability, gender, and gender identity. There were over 11,000 single-bias hate crime incidents involving 13,278 victims and 346 multiple-bias hate crime incidents that involved 433 victims. In 2022, the top three bias categories in single-bias incidents were race/ethnicity/ancestry, religion, and sexual-orientation. The top bias types within those bias categories by volume of reported hate crime incidents is Anti-Black or African American for race/ethnicity/ancestry bias, Anti-Jewish for religious bias, and Anti-Gay (male) for sexual-orientation bias.

As Josef Stalin framed it: 'I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.'

Similarly, the FBI can count and interpret crime reports in any way that suits their narrative.

Thank you Ann for update on the immigration crisis and invasion. The re-branding of violent crime to make is seem to the peons in society that 1 murder is no different than 10 murders or 100 murders, 1000 murders, 3,000 murders on a beautiful September day. The desensitization of and devaluing of human decency and morals regardless of the God one follows.

Stefan molyneux once pointed out that if you count white’s only crime stats in major cities like Chicago, the murder rate plummets to that of Sweden (Sweden BEFORE mass migration)

The statistics don't matter anyway. One death of one American is enough to say we don't want these worthless pukes in our country. One death is too many. Laken Riley is one death too many; she was brutally murdered by a disgusting piece of shite, illegal parasite. Furthermore, the Americans committing the most crimes, we all know who they are, are the same caliber as the invading parasites!

I would love to see honest stats on citizen vs illegal wrong direction driving on the highways and a second study on proportional DUI arrests.

Next segment we will get to unlicensed drivers, unregistered vehicles and no insurance coverage.

I've been flat-footed on this BS claim for so long. Thank you, Ann, for exposing one more bit of abject thuggery from The Left. I'm better armed b/c of this article.

It’s not just the usual places like the Times and Washington Post. So-called “conservatives” continue to peddle this lie that it’s all right-wingers imagination, there is no excess illegal alien contribution to crime. Go read the former National Review writer, Mona Charen’s latest at the even more ridiculous outfit than today’s National Review, Bill Kristol’s Bulwark. ‘We need more immigration, not less, blah, blah, blah, there is no outsized influence on crime, blah, blah, blah.’ How did so many complete phonies find their way into conservative journalism?
