In April, 2017, the Trump Administration launched the “Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement” hotline (VOICE) for people to call if they’ve been victimized by an illegal immigrant. Experts have noted that there is a consensus among the vast majority of researchers that immigrant populations are no more criminal than native-born populations, and some studies actually show that they are less likely to engage in criminality. Opponents of the hotline pointed out the hotline will have the effect of “scapegoating” the immigrant population. According to then Homeland Security Secretary John Kelley, what is the stated primary purpose of VOICE?

A. to assist victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants B. to help find illegal immigrants so they can be arrested and deported C. to attempt to counter the wide body of research suggesting that no statistically significant relationship exists between immigrants and crime D. to justify policies of mass deportation of legal and illegal immigrants
