Real quick lesson on statistical fuckery: When an immigrant comes here illegally and is arrested, if they are not reported to ICE their crime is generally counted as if an American committed it. Furthermore, if an immigrant comes here legally, has 5 kids, and those kids get arrested, those kids are counted as if an American committed the crime.
That's how you get these statistics that don't pass the smell test like claiming immigrants commit less crime than native born Americans.
With regards to "white flight", what they don't mention is that it's LIBERAL WHITES who are leaving the diverse areas.

I've noticed this. The author doesn't use the word "race" when talking about crime. Instead he uses the word "immigrant".
Very clever.

Also take note that when these people say "immigrant" they never mean a migrant from a white nation.
Immigrant is code for non-white.

Highly doubt that. Then the crime rate wouldn't DROP when the "immigrants" come in.

It would if the immigrant is pretty much any non-white that isn't black.
