Amazingly, Bersani’s study also produced this startling result: There is very little difference in crime rates between young native whites and blacks. Why no headlines about that? Instead of looking at “studies,” how about we just count the number of immigrants arrested, convicted and imprisoned in America?

Even if the immigrants’ crime rate were the same as “the overall population” — and it’s not — we’re supposed to be admitting immigrants who are better than us, not “six of one, half dozen of the other.”

Why? Because we’re picking them. If the food in your refrigerator is rotten, you don’t go out and buy more rotten food on the grounds that it’s no more rotten than the food you already have. This is the new food you’re picking and you’re paying for.

Instead, we’re bringing in legal immigrants — forget illegals — who are way more criminal than us, notwithstanding phony studies no one bothers to read.
