Being inmigrant does not make you neither good or bad.
You can be inmigrant and a good person, and you also can be inmigrant and a bad person.
Being inmigrant just means that you moved from one country to another. Anything else about your person, good or bad, shall be judged by your other actions.

Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find
Statistically speaking it makes you good.
Being inmigrant just means that you moved from one country to another.
But then there's a package of behaviors and conditions that come with that transition. Migration carries a huge expense and personal risk, it puts you under a higher degree of state surveillance, and the immigration process screens out a large component of the overall population (traditionally, young under educated men, the primary participants in criminalized behaviors).
Consequently, it means you're more likely to be "good" than your native peers.
I'm not a US citizen.
Anyway I would not start doing that kind of reasoning. I know it's with good intentions. But it gives space to those who want to say that some group of people are bad just because a collateral reason.
What if statistics would say that inmigrants do more crime? What if someone make a logical reason justifying that moving for one place to another makes you a bad person?
I prefer not entering into that arguments. Each person should be judged by it's actions, and not by which racial, national or any other not related group they belong.
Also, I refuse to be called "worse" just because I did not emigrated, just saying.

Then we'd likely see a reversed set of incentives - lower expenses, fewer personal risks, less surveillance, and a screening process that encourages a surplus youth male population.

That's expensive and inefficient. Far cheaper to apply a regional/ethnic heuristic, even if it is less reliable per capita. Build a big beautiful wall to keep all the Bad Guys Out, because you know they're statistically bad, rather than staffing the border with Personality Inspectors and Minority Report style future-crime prediction police.

You're statistically worse for staying in your shithole country, rather than coming to the Best Country On Earth.
There are way too many founding states on the lower left shirt. That should be scrutinized by the USCIS ASAP. /s
shit meme, bro!
I'm not worried about their crime. I'm worried since most are from more conservative countries that they will by culture attach themselves to right wing lunacy.
And oddly that's never ever supported by data.
Do you actually have data on this? You seem very certain about something that would be incredibly hard to establish
Who are you adressing to? The one making a claim or me asking for data?
Anyway here's some data if that helps... https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/jtf-immigrants-political-engagement.pdf
Racist.

I bet those little kids are strapped and beat the shit outta people who can't pay them back for their loan-sharking business. Nice try.
How immigrants really are
Horndog Tech entrepreneur. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner. Slave owner.
Settler-colonizers; not immigrants. These guys did things hundreds of thousands of times worse than the absolute worst actual immigrants do.
Six one way half a dozen the other.
European-Americans
Evil = Italian
Good = straight
Am I reading this right?
Could be a pair of pedophiles, idk.
I really feel this needs to be reversed in 2024.
The current GOP identifies with and connects with the gangster/organized crime aesthetic far more than the patriotic, flag waving conservatives of decades past.
However they would be absolutely terrified of the idea of people of color moving into their neighborhoods and would not appreciate them waving any kinds of flags at all, much less co-opting "real" America's imagery.
Ok, but also immigrants shouldn't have to be flag waving posterchildren for nationalism in order to be acceptable (if that's what they want to do fine, but as an immigrant myself I feel like the pressure to be "grateful" (E: and "loyal") is very heavy and that doing so is more often than not done as an act of self preservation rather than enthusiastic will).
My neighbor has huge Portuguese and American flags hanging from his house. He's definitely in the "that's what he wants to do" camp.
Ok? good for him.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You dropped this: \
¯\(ツ)/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ha, I honestly don't know where its arms went, I just copy pasted and added the \ .. 😂
You need three \'s for it to show up correctly.
It never used to be that many, who keeps adding 's?? 😂
It was that way on reddit as far back as I can remember, at least.
It's always been 2 as far as I remember (I forgot to add the second the first time around), I'm on pc, maybe it's different on mobile? Anyway, it's not like it matters that much lol
Can confirm.
My Burmese daughter-in-law was almost bounced out of the country under Trump despite being married to an American.
She has her US Citizenship now(!)
