STUDY: RISING IMMIGRATION NOT LINKED TO CRIME RATES

Posted By Bradley Maged On March 19, 2008 @ 5:18 pm In Uncategorized | No Comments

According to an article on [1] Reuters.com: “Contrary to common beliefs, rising immigration levels do not drive up crime rates, particularly in poor communities, and Mexican-Americans are the least likely to commit crimes, according to a new study.”

Good news, although I would like to think that most Americans do not believe that rising immigration leads to increased crime.
