No crime by illegals is acceptable. You are saying because it is lower than the whole USA it’s acceptable! Wow, shame on ABC

Might want to look at percentages. Just saying.

It would be zero if they were in their own countries

tRump shutdown of the govt. and the wall are are just another scam on America. The crime rate of the tRump family should be the focus of the American people.

Your full of it fake news talk more with border Patrol agents they know the truth

I humbly submit the next crop

How do you accurately count illegals to establish a statistical base? The citizen question may not be on the next census.

Studies are bullshit. I can make a study proving any point i take. FAKE PHONY MISLEADING NEWS.

Any rate of crime by illegals is too high and unnecessary . Those who promote illegals are responsible directly for the death and injury of American citizens!

Fake news, propaganda . They omitted Illegal aliens ...scam news

Crime rates for Trump, family, campaign, transition, administration? Sky high.

Loony

Delusional

Where are all these “facts” and “available studies”?

Here's something to ponder. We have enough crime and people on government assistance but to continue to let people come over illegally makes it worse. Not to mention the financial burden put on Americans.

I LMAO of at some of these tweets and the media defending illegal immigration. I guess they don't know what illegal is. So once they cine in they've already committed a crime.

Discussion is about illegal immigrants you simpleton. That group commits crime at 100%.

Our amazing president trump just keeps winning

Legal immigrants probably. If you’re an illegal immigrant you’ve already committed a crime, so 100% of illegal immigrants commit crimes.

See ABC news uses word play to deceive their viewers they use the term “immigrants” instead of Illegal imigrents . We know Illegal immigrants broke the law by entering America without permission so that alone they are criminals. FAKE. NEWS

ABC’s also said Trump would not win the Presidential election!! ABC BIAS fake news

But if they cause one death (like the CA policeman) or one rape they could have been avoided if were not in this country illegally. Yes Americans commit crimes but why needlessly add to it.

By the way.....Immigrants are hard working and more educated too

Tell that to the over 500.000 Americans who were tortured, murdered, raped, robbed . ABC, Democrats think it's ok. They minimize the American People's suffering by protecting & lying about law breaking immigrants who are forcing Americans to pay with their blood & money

Wonder who makes up these facts for him

realDonaldTrump AnnCoulter TomiLahren VP LindseyGrahamSC senatemajldr StephenMiller and all the other racist out there...

Oh yeah they are better...

Check out this report from bostonglobe showing illegal aliens do in fact reoffend at higher rates than population...

For the LOVE. ILLEGAL immigrants + immigrants are not the same. There is many facts showing what he says to be true. Do better ABC.

Does this “study” take into account that there are more native born citizens than immigrants? I bet not.

To the idiotic left: the republican movement isn’t against immigrants. Hence this article is pointless. We are talking about ILLEGAL RESIDENTS. Stop accusing the right of treating them as synonymous and you need to stop identifying them as equal to legal immigrants.

Not immigrants, illegal immigrants. Bet you cherry picked a study of all immigrants.

And Hillary will win the presidency by 90% of the vote. Blah blah, blah

More fake news from the leaders of stupidity.

This is no big surprise to those of us that live near the border.

Available “studies”, WHAT studies? There are 320 million Americans & maybe 11 million illegal foreign invaders. No one knows for sure the actual numbers as liberals will not allow us to “count” them. So how was this study done? Percentage breakdown? When u don’t know the numbers

How stupid is this propaganda by ABC. “Available studies” Report is misleading and not accurate. ABC LIES!

You do know that if illegals weren't permitted entry their stat wouldn't even exist right.... 0 is better than 10% of native Americans

Could that be that there are more Americans living in America? Duh!

Fact check ABC is lying!

Immigrants or illegal immigrants?

BenCardinforMD Crime less reported by illegal immigrants. They don't want to be confronted with breaking the law themselves by police. Makes perfect sense.

Nice try leftist propaganda mill...

fakepolls from fakenews ABC

Lying Donald and Lying Ted working together... what a union.

Any way to decrease crime is good.

Yeah right

That’s not the point. This is misdirection. They break and and then commit violence against citizens? Unacceptable.

Not everyone is afraid of immigrants,that’s a Republican thing

More re-runs?

Just curious which side are you on. United states or Mexico. Seems to me it's all about Trump. Not one word when Obama said we need to secure our border properly.

What about ILLEGAL immigrant crime? That is who we are always talking about - ILLEGALS! MSM & Fake News want to leave out the word ILLEGAL and therefore lie about the issue! realDonaldTrump For The People!

Give him 10 billion No wall, you know if he actually cared about Americans he'd accept it.

Illegals should not even be here to commit any crimes. Not even one. Make America Safe Again.

Tell that to the families whose loved ones have been killed by illegal immigrants

So? What about all the drugs that come across the border? Go talk to border patrol they want the wall more then trump

Available by who. Ha. Some leftist groups spinning narratives and hiding facts.

Such a dumb headline... we have control over illegal immigration so there shouldn’t be any crime from them.. what a dumb point

They are literally committing a crime for just being here!

You have to dumb this down to two words for his supporters.

Immigrants or ILLEGAL Immigrants?

What about the crime of coming here illegally? If this study was done with illegal immigrants than crime is 100%. We all love immigrants....just come here legally, I don’t think it’s too much to ask.

Will one of your reporters state that fact to the potus when starts spouting that lie he loves to repeat?

That’s their style, commit the crimes. Then blame others for the stats!

19.3% of the people in prison are non-citizens. That's how we know you are LYING! See for yourself, fact!

Trump the terriost holding hostages to get his way You want to make America great build the wall around the White House of bars because they are criminals and they must be on drugs the way they’re acting

fakenews headline... 100% of illegal immigrants are criminals

We are not comparing crimes by illegals, Native Americans or other citizens, we have laws to punish our criminals, illegals coming are planning on breaking laws, if don’t come properly vetted. That is not acceptable! Punish law breakers & those helping them (Dems)or hiring them!

Liars.. Fake News Propaganda. 20% of the people in prison are non-citizens.

Yeah but what about ILLEGALS?

Hey tedcruz ... wanna correct your boy? He seems to be confusing the facts.

Fake news. You people make me sick. Walt Disney would be mortified by your hatred!

FACT CHECK ABC...The illegel aliens are breaking our laws just by entering ILLEGALLY 😬 CHANGE CHANNEL AMERICA, ABC IS THE WORST

The criminal who speaks in cheeseburger breath is a US citizen, let’s not forget all the mass shooters US citizens at its finest.

Trump is never saying that crime is a problem with LEGAL immigrants. He’s talking about ILLEGAL immigrants LiarsLeakersAndLiberals starting with the crime of being here illegally.

Huh. Go figure. More lies from POTUS MAGLA, make America great liars again!

One more reason to deny them based on phony reason of asylum.

People coming in illegally have already committed a crime when entering this country. So just by entering, the became a criminal. Come in legally. Then you are not committing a crime by entering our country the wrong way. Real immigrants don't want to come in illegally.

Naughty boy Trump, your brain is cooling down, no more collusion.

No one believes you guys anymore

Again he lies to his base. I don't understand why anyone believes him? Its like he likes to lie? How can his family support this? It makes them all look bad? I guess they are unable to stand up to him.

That’s no the argument and you know it. The argument is the crime rate amongst illegal immigrants.

realDonaldTrump

What part of ILLEGAL don't you understand? He isn't talking about legal immigrants. You know it. Quit lying.

Your open border support is dangerous ABC - love how you never support America.

Studies show Crime Rates are even higher among native-hatched

What’s your definition of illegal? What happened here?🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Missing the point! Deflection on purpose? How many negative articles on Obama has ABC written?

So

It’s true but we still need vetting and we still need restrictions. The Dems have always known and implemented that whilst maintaining humanity

Real eyes realize real lies. BuildTheWall

So if a pipe in your house is leaking, you would then go around the house and make sure all the pipes are leaking.

Wonder what the crime rate is in Washington dc where for decades possibly centuries our government & its politicians + unelected bureaucrats are in the war & drug business. I'm not a trumpster so save the trolling on me because trump doesn't control the true power

Sorry, I just don’t believe you.

This is American Media saying 'Kill Native American and 'Anyone Who can be labelled Illegal. We are on To You. Since 1st day.

More out of context garbage from abc - drugs get pushed to everyone- y allow ppl to enter at all who are criminals elsewhere- why allow ppl to rape girls on the trip- y not force the to use ports on entry? Y allow sick ppl as well

CBS (Can’t Be Serious) NEWS does it again, creating a fake news story by misreporting what Trump said; Trump said immigrants crossing the border ILLEGAL were responsible for alot of crime inside the US; He was NOT referring to LEGAL immigrants, whose crime rates you were quoting.

Donald Trump lies. And then he lies some more. And then he lies about the lies he lied about. Was he the boy who cried “Wolf?” Because the townsfolk do not believe a thing he says. If he went fishing, he would catch a sunfish and called it a marlin. NoMoreLies ImpeachTrump

This wall is swallowing him up - who is getting the 5 billion to build it, Mr Businessman? Any friends or family maybe? He could careless about guns and crime in the US. Odd!

Here it is= MORE 🐂💩 NEWS from DEMS CROOKED NETWORK!!

I was a student of International Studies. One of my areas of focus was diversity, Mexico, Central America, and South America. The families I studied were responsible, loved their children, religious, pay their bills, classist, and the children are education.

fakenews at work!!! BuildTheDamnWallNow maga

And... Your point is? If I'm not mistaken, every crime an illegal immigrant commits would be a crime that wouldn't have happened on American soil, had they not been allowed into the country.. Am I missing something here?

There shouldn't be illegal alien crimes PERIOD!!!

So what’s your point ?

And... Your point is? If I'm not mistaken, every crime they commit would be a crime that wouldn't have happened on American soil, had they not been allowed into the country.. Am I missing something here?

This is the national crisis

faaaaakenews

*available studies* who's in charge over there? I will help bring integrity to your news organization if you want...

Do something about the crime being committed by kids with guns in our schools. He has no concern over that - forgot about those mass killings - but a Mexican with a bag of marijuana is cause for major concern.

YOU WILL NEVER GET THE TRUTH FROM ABC NEVER DEMOCRATS WON'T ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN

Every single illegal alien has already violated the law merely by being in the United States ILLEGALLY. That’s why they are called “illegal aliens” and not immigrants.

Get real. ABC.

Look at Ted Cruz. A man accuse your father of playing a role in the assassination of an American president and you kiss his butt in front of your family. That is a disgrace.

Is he talking immigrant or illegal immigrant crime

Research by the Koch brothers who are globalists and wish to deny American sovereignty. Available studies = Cato Institute =Globalist Koch brothers.

ABC HES TALKING ABOUT AMERICANS KILLED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT .

Tell that too the baby 👶 oops he doesn’t believe the news media

Illegals are ALL criminals because they came here illegally 🤦🏻‍♀️

The data should be viewed skeptically but taken at face value it delivers an important message. Legal immigrants where we can select who comes into our country have a much lower crime rate than illegal immigrants that self-select. We should be only taking the best.

First of all, call them what they are; ILLEGAL IMMGRANTS. They've committed a crime the moment they crossed the border, so!

Cite the source

If one American dies at the hands of an illegal it is to many........WAKE THE HELL UP.🙄🙄🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🙄🙄

Among legal immigrant groups yes, but not among illegal immigrant groups.

Facts? What does he care for facts? He does t know facts. His random anecdotal spewings /rants are his facts. 🤣🤣. But I say thank you as I appreciate facts very much.

That's an outright lie. The lower crime rate is among LEGAL IMMIGRANTS who respect the system by NOT jumping the fence. The illegal aliens break into America, for starters. You leftists LIE, and it's so easy to expose. Shame!

Bull s**,t

So in your eyes that justifies the crimes commented by the illegal immigrants. I beg to differ that is BS. Why are you so animate about attacking the 2nd amendment. The majority of gun owners are not criminals. So attacking gun owners but protecting illegals is hypocrisy, NO!

No fact check. It's a shell game where you keep mixing up the word 'immigrant' w/ 'illegal immigrant' : they are NOT the same. Also, legal immigrants & citizens are not guilty of crimes like bringing in tons of fentanyl, cocaine, as illegals are. NBC CBS FoxNews CNN

Another open borders dog whistle from ABC

Yawn, you conflate legal and illegal immigration. FakeNews

It’s very easy to verify this everyone! If you take a simple look at mass shootings and see that all are native-born Americans not to be confused with Native Americans who were slaughtered by the original invaders who now want you to believe that the southern border is danger!

Way to cherry-pick the statistics. Illegal aliens break the law every day they are in the country illegally.

Nice try, 100% of illegals should not be here! Complete bogus propaganda!

Racist Easter eggs are selling! Order some for your family before they sell out! You can find them on EBay. Check out my other tweets on them to get the link! Support ACLU and stand against discrimination/racism! Immigrants are people, too!

So that makes it right for caravans full of illegals to enter out Country illegal? This is the ignorant mindset of liberals and they need to be stopped

And what does that say about your president that you didn't know?

Kid kind of has that entitled look. His parents must be very proud. Raising the next generation...must be proud parents and educators! CovingtonCatholic

Truth is truth the town criers are liars
