A popular political debate each year, especially around elections, is immigration in the United States. While many point to immigrants as a main cause of crime in the United States, what does research show about this phenomenon?
What will be an ideal response?
Despite laws passed in states like Arizona aimed at fighting immigrant crime, research has supported that the correlation among natural-born U.S. citizens and crime is a more significant cause of crime. U.S.-born citizens are over three times more likely to be arrested and nearly ten times more likely to populate country jails and prisons in states with significant illegal immigrant status.
