FUN FACT: Undocumented immigrants REDUCE the violent crime rate in the USA

…… With every deportation, the violent crime rate goes up.
This is Trump’s America.

but this doesn't make any sense.

First, there are 330,000,000 American citizens and an estimated 20,000,000 undocumented. Of course there are going to be more crimes committed by American citizens.

Secondly, Americans aren't going to start committing more crimes if undocumented people are deported.
