Cut illegal immigrants some slack
"...research shows that people are afraid of immigrants because they think immigrants are a threat to their safety and engage in many violent and property crimes. However, quantitative research has consistently shown that being foreign born is negatively associated with crime overall and is not significantly associated with committing either violent or property crime."
Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Criminology
Simply because the Racist-in-Chief said it, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's true...quite the opposite, in fact.

That misses the point.
American crime is largely in the ghettos ("bad areas") where gangs and drug dealers do business.
However, illegal alien crime hits ordinary citizens.
That's the problem.

Prove it. Cite at least one reputable source to support that assertion.

You want me to prove to you that people intentionally avoid high crime ghetto ("dangerous areas").
Well, when an America buys a home they search online on sites like:
http://www.city-data.com/crime/
https://www.crimereports.com
and see which areas are safe and which are not.
THEY WANT SAFE CITIES.
They try to stay out of ghetto, dangerous, high crime areas.
It's obvious.

There is a difference between 'illegal immigrants' and 'legal immigrants', I don't think anybody suggests that 'legal immigrants' pose any problems(excluding Islamist's(Not all but the nature of beliefs within this religion)). Illegal immigrants are a completely different subject. Because they are not legally here their living conditions can be quite chaotic(yet again, not all but the majority).
I know personally because I have worked with an illegal immigrant which lived in an entire neighborhood of illegal immigrants that was in fact a ghetto. All of them can't illegally find work so they may also rob and stab each other, I know this because he told me and told me to drop him off near his place rather than at it because if others find out he has a job they may try to rob him and potentially stab him, therefor he also hid his money in his sock.
It's pretty shocking that you would think someone would have to 'cite' the fact that ghettos are well known for having higher crime rates.
Go to a ghetto and look at prices on homes. You will notice that the price dramatically drops on homes within rough neighborhoods. This is because it's a last resort, no one desires to live in a bad neighborhood unless the intend on doing illegal deeds or trying to help the neighborhood or can't afford to live elsewhere.
If you talk to a lot of legal immigrants you will find that it's quite disrespectful to them(not all but the majority) that people seem to want to 'stand up' for illegal immigrants when they fraught so very hard to enter the country legally and struggle to find jobs because it can be a challenge for someone who just entered the country.
