your immigration policy
I know the issue is more complicated than this, but I still find this a funny cartoon:
Update: I removed the following from the comment section because the absurdly long URLs were messing up the page. Here I've shorted them to "URL" and you choose whether or not to click through.
I don't want to be accusable of silencing my (apparent) critics so I've reproduced the comment here in the body of the post.
Here's my question: Do you think "pjgoober" bothered to read my post? Or did he or she just do a web search on "immigration" and SPAM us all with form-letter punditry?

From UC Irvine: Largest, longest study of children of immigrants reveals certain
groups are left behind
"Differences in arrest and incarceration rates are also noteworthy, particularly among second-generation, U.S.-born, males. While only 10 percent of second-generation immigrant males in the survey had been incarcerated, that figure jumped to 20 percent among West Indian and Mexican American youths."

Here is pro comprehensive reform supporter Linda Chavez: Before Bashing Immigrants, Get The Facts Straight "Only .7 percent of Mexican-born males were in prison or jail, compared with 3.51 percent of all U.S.-born males, which includes 1.71 percent of non-Hispanic whites, 11.6 percent of blacks and 5.9 percent of Mexican Americans."

Second-generation immigrants were 22 percent less likely to commit violence than the third generation."

"SPAM us all with form-letter punditry?"
Out of the 4 links I posted only one was to a pundit (Linda Chavez). Feel free to disregard it. The others are: 1) social scientists at UC Irvine, 2) social scientists at Harvard, and 3)the US Center For Disease Control. Please don't dismiss them as punditry.
This all has much relevance to your post. The inevitable rise in national statistics like this are the very results of the mass immigration policies you espouse.
