Ruben G. Rumbaut, Professor of Sociology at the University of california, Irvine; Robert J. Sampson, Professor of Sociology at Harvard University (massachusetts); and 139 other academics in the fields of anthropology criminology, history, law, psychiatry, psychology and sociology write an open letter to Republican (fascist/socialist) George W. Bush , the Democratic (socialist/fascist) 47th counterfeit CONgress (elected within the provisions of the fraudulent 17th amendment), and the nation’s governors, dispelling the misconceived link between immigration and crime:

       Numerous Studies by independent researchers and government commissions over the past 100 years repeatedly and consistently have found that, in fact, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes or to be behind bars than are the native‐born.  This is true for the nation as a whole, as well as for cities with large immigrant populations such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami, and cities along the U.S.‐Mexico border such as San Diego and El Paso.

       That immigration does not automatically lead to higher crime rates is evident in the fact that crime rates have fallen in the United States at the same time immigration has increased.  Since the early 1990s, immigration to the United States—both legal and undocumented [lawful]—has reached historic highs.  Yet rates of violent crime and property crime have declined sharply over the same period, and the violent crime rate has reached historic lows.  Moreover, among men age 18 ‐ 39 (who comprise the vast majority of the prison population), the incarceration rate of the native‐born is much higher than the incarceration rate of the foreign‐born.
