I didn't put my foot in mouth, however, I brought up statistics to negate the point that was previously argued. You are still insinuating that "illegal aliens" are the only criminals in this country, and they aren't. There are many people within this country already that we don't know, and they do horrific things so that point isn't valid. Immigration isn't the problem at all, there are many other areas of concern such as the abundant school shootings that we have. Every citizen that commits a crime adds to it, not just immigrants. Singling them out would be nonsensical, because you're not going to be able to reduce crime by attempting to rid a country of an entire race. A major problem in this country, as I stated before, would be school shootings. Statistically, only white males have committed school shootings, and the United States has an embarassingly higher school shooting rate than the other countries. However, are you going to treat every white male that you encounter poorly? Are you going to have a preconceived notion that every white male is a school shooter? Are you going to blame white males for the crime in the country? No. 

In addition, you are misunderstanding my point in general. I'm not saying to allow every immigrant in this country that doesn't possess the proper documentation because that would be nonsensical and unrealistic. I'm simply raising awareness to the abundant discrimination that immigrants face daily for simply wanting better opportunities. There are many American people that travel to other countries for better opportunities, such as people who travel to Canada because they have better college tuition there. That doesn't make the American people that travel "illegal immigrants" and that doesn't mean that they should be discriminated against. There are immigrants who are being separated from their families, as well as children who are raped and violated while in government custody while simultaneously being split from their parents. How would you feel if that was you? How would you feel if that were your family that had to live in a separate country from you? Immigration isn't a safety concern, there are many residents within this country already who are unsafe and add to crime, and you can't solely blame that on "illegal immigrants." The notion that immigrants "add to crime" is discriminatory and lacks morality. 

You honestly believe that the elimination of immigrants will reduce crime? Because crime within a country will be continous, regardless of the purposely and discriminatory elimination of a specific race.
