Sample pool, too small, and homicides rates have gone down in most cities since the early 90s.

But still, I am pretty sure the data shows, immigrants aren't any more likely to commit crimes than natives, unless they're super greasy and oily like @creepycoug

Immigrants I would agree. Illegal immigrants, not so sure.

Just to keep the record straight, I am for legal immigration and against illegal immigration. I think we have bigger problems than illegal immigration, but if there's cash available to make it better then you have my proxy to spend it. I also think the policy of intensive vetting has been a success and I unequivocally support Trump's policies in that regard. I've said so consistently. There is no question that it is the role of the federal government, through the Congress and the Executive Branch, to regulate who comes into the country and on what terms. Anybody who would seriously argue otherwise needs their heads examined.

I also think anybody who comes here should enjoy levels of belonging through phased-in citizenship, primarily as that relates to any kind of public assistance. There should also be a trial period during which the commission of any felony means instant deportation.

Is that just anybody anybody or anybody here legally?

Anybody anybody. If by our good graces you are admitted to the country, you should behave yourself and be productive before gaining full citizenship.

No, my question was - if someone is here illegally - they also get full public assistance?

Or are you saying anybody who comes here via LEGAL means is eligible for public assistance?

Illegal - deported so of course nothing. I mean the very first thing you did was break the law. Gotta go.

Legal - trial period no felony or you get deported and no public assistance until you've worked and paid taxes for ten years. 20 if you like that better.
