CNN, MSNBC are also extremely biased and wrong most of the time. There is simply no absolute non biased news source. All news organizations are owned by owners of mega corporations. Washington post if owned by Jeff Bezos and NY times is funded by Mexican billionaires. It is in their best interest to push illegal immigration.

If you had an open mind and watched the entire video you'll know it also states the increased rate of drug trafficking, murder and other serious offenses compared to US citizens. Just because it is from FOX doesn't mean it is always wrong.  

You haven't even read the report, how do you know they're right/wrong?

That is simply wrong. Legal immigrants commit LESS crime than US citizens on average. Illegal immigrants commit MORE crime on average than US citizens. That is a HUGE difference friend. Stop making excuses for illegals. 

According to what source?

Some of us come here for love and we don't care about any American dreams. Also, many of us don't believe in God and blessings mean nothing. 

I do not care what YOU came here for. That is entirely your private thing. But me too I would NOT have come here if not for my wonderful wife. But what I am absolutely convinced is the following: no matter WHERE you move and what for WHAT reason: it is YOU adjusting to the society and culture you move to, not the other way around.

This.

Folks say they don't "come for the American dream" and then immediately complain about all the things the US should change according to their standards.

I am no fan of FOX NEWS but i would still consider them a credible source that can be held accountable.
You just have to avoid their pundit/editorials which have been known to fudge the details to serve their respective demographics.

The FOX article currently being discussed in this thread is so skewed it's not even funny.

Yes, we're adjusting by having opinions about new laws and participating in the discussion. Native born USC do the same thing.

Reading the report.
It looks like this is based on immigrants that they have in custody.
Being dated for December 21, 2017.
ICE has been doing raids for illegal immigrants for at least 6 months.

So of course they are going to have a disproportionately  high number of bad actors, sense they probably let the good actors free.

Ill have to admit that i haven't found the FOX article yet.
So my opinion still may be out of context.

The article is skewed because it is not comparing numbers of USC prisoners vs aliens only aliens. 

 

Quote

This report does not include data on the foreign-born or alien populations in state prisons and local jails because state and local facilities do not routinely provide DHS or DOJ with comprehensive information about their inmates and detainees. This limitation is noteworthy because state and local facilities account for approximately 90 percent of the total U.S. incarcerated population. DHS and DOJ are working to develop a reliable methodology for estimating the status of state and local incarcerated populations in future reports.

Now that makes sense.

I have no problem with this as long as it doesn't cause a major delay in the visa process.
