      Either you misunderstood what I was getting at, or I'm misunderstanding what you're getting at. Assume I stated my point poorly, and never mind.

      I entirely agree that births increase crime / that RATE is what matters my point is this: the pro-immigration people (not a great term, bc I am ALSO pro-immigration!) like to argue "immigrants create less crime than natives". I agree w that! My point is ...

      is that there is a spectrum of agregation. At one end is "consider each person individually, with absolute knowledge". At the other end is "there are 7 billion people and we can't draw distinctions between ANY of them". First is impossible. Second is stupid.

      so we can / do / should make as good decisions as possible, using as much data as possible. So: we look askance at people who have committed 1 murder. This is unfair! Many will never commit another. Ideally we'd let in murderers who will never commit another. ...but we don't

      ...because we can't get that level of knowledge, so we fall back on "well, 20% of people who murder once murder again" (or whatever the stat is) and keep them out.

      "keeping the crime rate the same" is actually a shitty goal. we'd love to dilute the current level of crimes with a 100% crime free immigration stream, so that crime RATES fall, yes?

      but we don't do that. We admit a mix of people that commit, on average, MORE crimes than the core / traditional demographic of the US. This demographic is also in favor of more taxes, more government, more socialism, and less freedom. This is a dumb policy. The end.

      I'm only slightly more comfortable blocking admission based on national origin than I am with deporting or imprisoning natives based on skin color. I get your argument, but it can be made in reverse as well. I (and you, I'm sure) would prefer a more granular approach.

      Yep, granular is best. The idea is to admit INDIVIDUALS who will commit zero crimes and vote in favor of Enlightenment values. Re deporting natives: citizenship is property. The state does not have the right to confiscate it. N.B. because citizenship is property ...
