Most immigrants are in the U.S. legally, something most Americans don’t know

President Trump wants to reduce legal and illegal immigration, but apparently has no qualms about scapegoating every immigrant in the process. (JM Rieger/The Washington Post) 


Misinformation about America’s immigrant population is rampant.
Some of it is based on bad data. 
Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk
 tweeted 

a claim on Wednesday that more than a third of the murders in America are committed by immigrants in the country illegally. 
While it should be obvious to an impartial observer that this claim is questionable, Kirk appears to have calculated it based on data published in 
at the Hill. 
That article claimed that a tally of murders by the Government Accountability Office covering 
among immigrants in the country both legally and illegally was, instead, just homicides by undocumented immigrants from 2005 to 2008. 
Kirk is a strong supporter of President Trump and vice versa. 
(Earlier that day, Trump had called him a “spectacular person.”)
 Kirk’s willingness to present a bit of data that matched Trump’s rhetoric may have made him more likely to accept the flawed numbers from the Hill.

Some of the misinformation, on the other hand, appears to be intentional. 
Trump’s own repeated insistence that immigrants bring crime has been debunked repeatedly, including 
He said it at the outset of his campaign, and it was debunked, and he kept on saying it. A new poll from Pew Research Center, for what it’s worth, shows that most Americans know that Trump is incorrect. Sixty-five percent of Americans say that immigrants are not more likely to commit serious crimes than native-born Americans, which is true. (Quite the opposite.)
