"Generally, immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans do." Yes because of fear of Deportation.
"They cannot vote. They cannot qualify as jurors. If they commit a crime, they are subject not only to prison but to deportation. And because these noncitizens are keenly aware of those things, they adjust their behavior. They keep a low profile. They do not complain to the authorities if, say, their boss cheats them out of some of their pay, or if they’ve been attacked on the street, or if they are abused by a parent or partner at home."
Crimes committed that go unreported, thus the immigrants commit crimes at lower rates is a arbitrary statement because we do not know the actual amount.
