Reply #241: So all American- born (or British-born) people are hard-working, law-abiding, benefits to society?

No group of people is totally law-abiding.

If there is any 'demographic' of people most likely to commit crimes, it is based on age and gender, not nationality. From the point of view of catching potential criminals, it would make more sense to target all young men between about 15 and 25, than to target immigrants.

ETA: And by the way, in Britain we have very few Mexican immigrants, but our tabloids say EXACTLY the same sorts of things about Asian, African and East Europaean immigrants as your right-wing media say about Mexicans. Anti-immigrant campaigns seem to be a universal right-wing issue, regardless of the nationality of the immigrants.
