Immigrants are driving a massive crime wave!

What You Say

BJS victimization surveys and multiple state analyses do not show immigrants as the engine of a national crime wave. Crime trends move with broader social factors. Anecdotes plus cable chyron is not epidemiology.

The Stab

If your crime theory needs a foreign accent, it is not a crime theory.
