They say that the so-called invasion of illegal immigrants spiked the rise in crime in the US, but now that a lot of illegals have either fled the country due to the immigration laws, or have been deported, why are we seeing a rise in VIOLENT CRIME?

Violent crime rises 1.3 percent in U.S.

  1. Because illegals are not criminals.


  2. Don't believe everything you hear,You just prove it for your self that it wasn't a fact.

  3. There are just as many.. they're just not documented. You have to get caught for them to know that you're illegally in the country.  

  4. the world isn't black and white.

  5. but pedro there was no report highlighting the 2.1 that snuck across the border when those 1.3 million left. also the peice of sh8t we call a president didn't deport them he juswt sent them to crawford texas to pick his fruit...me

  6. one has nothing to do with the other

  7. Because violence has nothing to do with immigrants. It's just something the government is picking on so they have something to argue about.  

  8. What else can we blame it on now???

  9. Actually,

    Crime has risen since there's more illegals.

    But you can make up whatever numbers you want.

    And yes, 100% of illegals have broken the law, that equals criminals............unless your from Mexico then anything goes.

  10. Wow, great question.  It's probably because the causal relationship between the two actually isn't substantial at all.

  11. Your timeline is a little off so the results aren't accurate. The economy is falling, which also increases crime.

    What do you think is happening? That illegal immigrants fight crime and we are deporting our heroes?  

  12. THER DIDN'T LEAVE,,THEY ARE ALL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD..WOODSIDE NY..CHECK THE DEMOGRAPHICS..I AM THEONLY ENGLISH SPEAKING PERSON ON MY FLOOR ON MY APT BUILDING

    maybe three out of the 42 apts

  13. With less illegal immigrants to pick on (who don't report crimes to the police because they don't want to get caught by immigration), violent criminals have to turn to the average citizen (who will report the crime).

  14. One... those 1.3 million illegal immigrants came back an hour later.  Two...what makes you think that an Illegal immigrant is more prone to commit crime than a U.S. Citizen?

  15. As long as humans exist their will always be violence and crime. This is simply a fact.

  16. Simple! they are not the ones causing the most crime in the US. That's proof! Over and out, end of story!
