It’s a tough pill to swallow. Just like crime is actually down is a tough pill to swallow. I am a program lead, or will be come next month, of the criminal justice major at a local university and I am a retired police officer. So, naturally, I am skeptical about ANY crime stats coming from district attorneys like alvin bragg(nyc) george gascon(LA) kim fox (chi) larry krasner (Philly), or several other cities that also happen to be sanctuary cities. There are too many variables and too many questions that I want to ask. I even read a study of the studies that you were getting your info on where they were unable to find a definite answer either way. I am putting in work-not to prove you wrong, but because I am legit interested in this topic. I taught a course last semester on the different criminal justice systems around the world called comparative criminal justice and almost every single country that was used as a model nation was facing serious issues with rising crime and immigrants. There are seven model nations, with England, France, Germany being three of them. They are overrun and I know nyc and Chicago are as well and it will take a lot for me to not believe that it affected their crime numbers.
I welcome most immigrants, but there are some that should never be allowed to enter or stay here. Here is my prediction-because of trumps crackdown on immigrants, crime will go up. Why? Because of illegals not working and walking/running from job sites will have no way to feed their families and will likely turn to crime to make money.
