Dude, it's a fact that the majority of crimes, however slight, are committed by immigrants, legal or not.
The question is, why? Is it something in foreign cultures that makes people violent? Or is it (something I find more probable) the fact that many adapt to the stereotype of "the frustrated violent immigrant whose career chances were taken away by a racist society"?
Violence is inexcusable, whatever your nationality, but it still is my feeling that
a) immigrants (along with natives, obviously) should behave, and not spit on the country that's giving them a place to live, and
b) that society here could decrease greatly the level of racism, direct or indirect, subtle or blunt.
Punishment should be the same for both natives and immigrants, and expulsion should only occur for very grievous crimes (like murder).
But that doesn't stop the fact that there is an immigrant problem. It's a vicious cycle. It's not racism, it's realism.
wow... I almost agree. Wouldn't say it is the majority of all crime, but they do commit more crime than "regular" ppl, and take up more space in prison than regular ppl even though they only count 5-10% of the total population
I also think it is a problem that
some young immigrant kids are getting assimilated into sociaty, while their parents are trying to pull them in the opposite direction. Adding "racism" and discrimation to it, and you'll have youngerst who are trapped between sociaty and their own parents; sociaty doesn't like them , trust them or accept them, and their parents don't accept their behaviour or values that differ from their own. I think this is what is causing alot of trouble in my own country, making young immigrants beating ppl up just for fun etc in order to feel they belong somewhere. Of course, religious idiotcy also cause trouble on its own, but from what i can gather it is often young boys who don't feel acknowledged by sociaty who seek out the extreme.
Another thing that can cause problem is traumatized parents who have been tortured in their own country, they are bad parents... but who can blame them?!
