In reality, undocumented immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than the rest of the population of America, and they are in no way unduly prone to commit aggravated felonies such as homicide. 

To single these groups out as especially disposed to mayhem is roughly akin to claiming that you’re more apt to kill someone if you like Coldplay, or purchase designer seltzer. 


Those consumer demographics are in no way a more coherent social grouping than the shadowy specter of death-dealing immigrants.
