Univision’s Jorge Ramos wants you to know that despite the recent stories of an illegal immigrant previously deported 5 times shooting a woman in San Francisco and of an illegal immigrant previously deported 6 times killing a mom and her kids in a suspected DUI accident, immigrants as a group are much safer than everyday Americans:
Fact: Crime rate among immigrants is significantly lower than native-born. http://t.co/bssV9OGs38 Immigration lowers crime. Check stats.
