FUN FACT: Studies have consistently shown that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than HALF the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes, meaning they actually REDUCE the violent crime rate in the United States.

With every deportation, the violent crime rate goes up.
This is Trumps America.

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.
