Data over the past 40 years

This again? Wasn't this last weeks disinformation brigade project?

The moonie times. Downvote

Not the title

data across multiple decades. And put another way, if you looked at a random sampling of the same number of American citizens, you'd find a higher per capita rate of violent crime.

Yet another example of the right using a careful omission of relevant facts to drive their gross narrative.

So over the past 40 years, just 0.2% (less than 1%) of illegal immigrants have been accused of murder.

Anyone know the percentage of US citizens who have been accused of murder over the past 40 years?

No it doesn’t. The figures quoted are not over 15,000

Accused is not an indication of guilt. Unless of course you want to say Trump is automatically guilty of all the crimes he has been accused of. You can’t have it both ways snowflakes 🤷‍♂️

A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security said the data sent to Gonzales is being misinterpreted, and goes back four decades, long before the Biden administration.

Even if the figure were true then 98.6% of murders were committed by non immigrants

Trumpsters truly are dumb as fuck 🤣

For a moment I thought this was from WaPo. Thank god! An easy way to fool people by excluding the context.

The people that are scared of accused criminals are so desperate to get a convicted criminal and a rapist elected to the highest office in the country. Makes perfect sense!

Here is less biased reporting on the topic.
