A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

No, you made an implicit claim that there is a difference in crime rates between immigrants and undocumented immigrants. Support it.

You tried to pass of studies on immigrant crime rates as illegal immigrant crime studies and got caught.

Crazy, it’s almost like adding prisoners to the count increases the rates. Go with something peer reviewed next time.

Adding prisoners to the rate that were not added initially. They're correcting the rate.

See the problem with the only source you could find on illegal immigration crime is that Texas does not count illegals in their rate unless they've all ready been identified as illegals. Your study is comparing identified illegals to unidentified illegals and legals.

Are you going to catch me breathing next? Like I already said, this point is irrelevant, as you have yet to prove a difference in rates between immigrants and undocumented immigrants.

No, they're adding prisoners to the rate only for one group. They're fucking up the numbers.

You tried to pass off studies of legal immigrats as illegal immigrants, got caught and now demand that I prove that they are different because you know you can't find any studies to support that claim.

No, they’re adding prisoners to the rate only for one group. They’re fucking up the numbers.

They are moving misidentified prisoners from one group to another. Illegals in prison for a crime in 2012 that were not identified as illegals but were later identified move from the legal group to the illegal group. Are you claiming legals were misidentified as illegals?

Go learn what a null hypothesis is and come back to me.

No. I'm saying they're only giving the immigrants the "counting prisoners" treatment. They're not treating immigrants and citizens equally in their "analysis".
