The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Me: Most of the illegals have committed no crime. - Lapsody
Mike: Except for breaking into our country in the first place.

Mike, until recently 70% of the illegals flew in and overstayed their visas - which is not a crime. So 70% are no criminals because the didn't "break into our country". Additionally, those who crossed the b/rder and claimed asylum (refugee status) did not enter illegally. There are a ton of those. In addition, for some of those who crossed illegally it is a federal misdemeanor - not sure how that happens.

So now that the bulk of illegals are overstays, the number of those "breaking into our country" is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of non criminals is getting larger and larger - more than 70% - probably closer to 95-98% (just guessing)

So, as I said, most of the illegals have committed no crime. A higher immigration population percentage in an area does not correlate to higher crime.
