This is a MAGA talking point so there are people who agree with your take. I think that is an unreasonable and ridiculous position given its impossibility. In light of how much the US benefits from immigration overall, it’s also shortsighted.
- rangestransform 2y agoZero immigrant crime is absolutely impossible, I agree, but targeting zero crime should be an immigration policy goal. Enshrining some moral obligation to help the rest of the world into law is wrong.
- BenFranklin100 2y agoAgain, you’re repeating MAGA talking points. Targeting zero crime is code for restricting legal immigration via Byzantine immigration requirements. Moreover, the goal has been largely achieved: immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than Americans [1], [2]. Your last sentence is nonsensical in the current context.
