Another reason for us to welcome immigrants: lower crime rates.
Whether it is El Paso, Texas or Dearborn, Michigan, communities with a high foreign born population tend to be lower in crime than cities with similar characteristics who have a higher native born population.
Bill O'Reilly and others of his ilk have always used scare tactics to tell people that immigrants commit mass crimes, but as many have found, this is the exception, and you are probably more likely to be victimized by a non foreign born citizen.
