Not the most compelling case:
> Gibson is a 38-year-old Liberian citizen, who has a final immigration removal order dating back to 2009.
> Statistically immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born citizens
Legal ones, yes - they have a lot to lose. Can you please cite any study positing the same for illegal immigrants?
> Not the most compelling case:
Does not matter one bit. Law enforcement may not break down doors without a warrant except in limited cases. This was not one of them. They violated the constitution and our way of life.
> Legal ones...
I'm guessing you didn't read the cite. It clearly shows that undocumented immigrants commit significantly less crime. Once you read it I'd be interested to know if it changes your opinion at all.
The majority of illegal immigrants did commit a crime by virtue of being illegals, violating 8 U.S.C. 1325, so the crime-rate for illegals is certainly higher than non-immigrants right out of the gate.
For the less-than-half who have “only” committed civil immigration violations, the point still remains that they are here illegally and are subject to civil immigration proceedings.
So no comment about illegally knocking down doors? No comment about stopping naturalization ceremonies?
I'll go back to this: if we wanted to reduce crime, we'd go after citizens first.
