Yeah everywhere has criminals but it's not picking people at random from other countries.

The type of people who want to migrate somewhere usually do not want to stir up trouble in their new home.

They're not saying immigrants never commit crimes, but that they commit them at much lower rates than us born citizens.

If you're trying to reduce crime, the effective thing to do is target where it actually is rather than scrounging for crumbs where you would like it to be.

There's definitely countries that treat their women better than the average American.

Yeah, that's my reaction too. I'm guessing over 50% is likely true. The immigrants that make it here in the vast majority of cases is literally because they were hard workers and they came to work. Vs these violent racist shitbags who support trump.

It's almost impossible to say without really breaking down policing and crime rates by granular particulars that I'm not sure we really track with accuracy, as the US's crime tracking is massively skewed because of things like over-policing, redlining/segregation remnants (an actual nazi on Lemmy actually pulled the 13/50 argument with me today) and of course under-reporting some crimes and over-reporting other crimes. Basically, our criminal justice system is so fucked in America that we can't trust stats... so yeah, OP's image might as well just make numbers up, it's not like we have highly trustworth alternatives.

As for actual numbers, I did find this report from 2023 that seems somewhat reliable, it massively points to white families as the number one perpetrator in crimes against children in the US. (these stats include neglect, which is why women have a higher percentage of perpetration than men.)

Rates of just immigrant criminality have been studied, and as most of us know, it's been shown that immigrants commit far less crime than native populations, and are about 60% less likely to be incarcerated for criminal behavior.

Find some actual numbers then.

No one actually believes this, they just say it on the internet and it gets upvoted.

I honestly can't comprehend the concept of posting an image of just text on a microblogging website... Unless maybe it's reshared, but still. I guess everything to try to grasp the fleeting attention these days, all down hill from here.

Why only MAGA men? Why do the MAGAets get a free pass?

Yeah but who would want them.

I assume (or at least, I hope) that they're basing this on some kind of violent crime rate statistics, hence the cut-off.
