Using a statistical method called regression analysis to examine the data, we found that as the size of the undocumented population increases, the property crime rate decreases, on average.
I find it surprising that undocumented immigrants make a community safer and bring down the crime rate, but it sounds probable.
immigration did not increase crime rates in U.S. metropolitan areas.
Metropolitan areas are significantly more educated than rural areas and the cost of living is higher so this doesn't surprise me.
People from all social groups and backgrounds commit crimes.
In 2010, 35% of all African American men in the U.S. had a felony conviction. All races commit crimes in similar proportions but minorities are more likely to receive harsher treatment from police and the U.S. justice system.
