Hey CliffBurn Mash, lay off the pipe and use your brain for a second.

This guy was "good enough" to help U.S. special forces against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Ever watched Rambo?

So he SAYS.
How do we know he even did that?
Ever notice that all the "veterans" begging for spare change were all some kind of secret commando black-ops navy seal behind-the- lines sooper-dooper trooper of some sort?
So this guy was an interpreter? So what? He had it a lot better here than he did in Afghanistan.

Hey Average Joe you are just as bad as this Rajesh guy who posts on here, however Raj is clueless as to MAGA/Christian beliefs. Wali was good enough for the U.S. to use him as a translator against the Taliban. Should his usefulness expire because America withdrew from Afghanistan? This guy was an asset to the U.S.

What is the difference between him and Vietnam Vets? Is i ...[text shortened]... ok my f***ing license because I can’t pay the insurance. So why are you trying to kill me?” he asks.

You write all this with constant supposition about the nature of in the history of this man. You imply that we made him come to the USA. I would like to know if that is the case, because I would take exception to us ever requiring anyone to come to this country.

That brings us to the video, where a guy is resisting arrest, and doing all else that he does which I don’t need to describe or explain. He is wrong. When you live in this country, you are assumed to know the law. If he did not know how to react when these police pulled him over, then he started out Making it worse, and I was very impressed with the cop who said I’m sorry you’re having a hard time. His hard time has to do with getting a job, but my nephew is having a hard time getting a job. So I really do not get your point.

Did you get that he has four children? Looks like he made some bad choices, I would never have more children that I can afford. This is just example of facts that we do not know, to even discuss this situation. I suggest closing this thread. Oh, you asked what is the difference between him and Vietnam vets? I guess the difference would be that Vietnam vets would not act like he did when he was pulled over. Geez. In a nutshell, they are not like us. This is why I preached in the past several times that mixing cultures might not be so smart. I hope he does not slaughter goats in his backyard.

Why don’t you be a good Lib and actually explain your point in two sentences. Instead of all the sarcasm.

It's a rate, mate, meaning that the number is automatically linked to absolute numbers of individuals in that category.

Immigrant men have had a lower incarceration rate than US-born men for the last 150 years of American history. In addition to lower incarceration rates, FWIW immigrants also have higher labor force participation and marriage rates.

I'm not a fan of l ...[text shortened]... s where I got the "60% less likely to be incarcerated" rate from. https://www.nber.org/papers/w31440

Does it take into account population numbers, adjust, and give correct percentages, yes or no.

You are still not presenting an accurate picture of crime rates.

Here is what the figures look like of murders in the US :
- among the black communities especially in the city areas are about 45 - 50 per 100,000.
- among typical white communities they are 1 - 2 per 100,000
- National avg is about 7 - 8 per 100,000

The typical American citizen dont look at, neither care about statistics. They only know if their neighbourhood is peaceful and crime free or not. So when immigrants come in they can be less than that national average [way less than black communities] but still be higher than in peaceful neighbourhoods so they will naturally stand out in these areas.

It is the crime in black communities in the US, that carries up the national average way up.

The first 10 seconds, mate. Queuing then, queuing now... Are you kidding me?

Immigrants commit less crime than citizens, this is a well established fact. Pointing out that some immigrants do commit crime, without also providing the context that immigrants are 60% less likely to commit crimes than citizens, is messing with your brain.

Immigrant just slit the throats of three little English girls, killed them.
Then guess who rioted all over England and attacked English citizens because they protested about it?
LOOK at this and tell me how it's being misrepresented.

Lol wut? That's not even relevant to the discussion. You're talking about the descendants of slaves, not immigrants 😂

Of course it's real. Dumb to claim that immigrants do more crimes than citizens.

Lol do you know what a rate is?

You did not read what I wrote. Lets try again.

You are comparing say murders by immigrants to the national average.
The national average is not representative of most of the US because it is skewed as I explained earlier.

Crime committed by immigrants is much higher than crime in the average white neighbourhood.

Immigrants do more crime per capita than the white community
Immigrants do less crime per capita than the black community

Overall they do less crime per capita when national averages are used.

They have no ability to look ahead and see the future. This movement is intertwined with their agendas being pushed forward. These young liberals with no common sense will face the reality of their bad decisions and sadly so will we.

It seems you're trying to argue that certain individuals should not be considered citizens?
