Many people believe immigrants increase the risk of crime and

like former President George W. Bush, Senator John McCain
and media outlets. However, the America Journal of Criminal
Justice published a study answering two focused question
pertaining to immigrants increasing the risk of crime and drugs
to communities. The first question of the study is asked about
the characteristics of the person who has committed a federal
offense. The answer is disproportionately individuals whose
race is either white/white Hispanic or “other”, and who are U.S.
citizens (Sibila, D., Pollock, W., & Menard, S. (2017)). The
feudal offenses in the study consisted on homicide, assault,
robbery, marijuana, drug and weapon crimes. This study shows
that non-citizens have statistically high marijuana arrests but
less homicide, assault, and weapons. The study doesn’t
indicated a difference in non- U.S. citizen or U.S. citizen arrests
with hard drugs. So the final outcome to question one is the
non-U.S. citizens have a little to no impact on increase federal
crime or drugs introduced in a community. I believe the justice
system needs to just really on facts and race should not be

crimes are three different types of problems with some
similarities but clear differences. To protect both US citizen’s
rights and non-citizen liberties there has to be a clear process
for any language to learn the correct ways to enter the US
legally. Instead of someone at a border giving a direct no to
someone who wants to come to the US but maybe have a
government agency that helps people enter the US legally. We
can’t rely only on the media or internet that can be exploited to
benefit a criminal agency.
