Immigration and Crime

   So far i have found a few good sources for my research paper, in which i have learned quite a few interesting things about my topic. Something interesting that found is that most people in the united states believe that immigration is one of the main reasons that crime is so high, but in fact immigrants who come here illegally actually avoid getting in trouble with the authorities due to the fact of their legal status. Most of the immigrants who get incarcerated or deported, were actually detained in the not for committing crimes like robbery or assault, but just for their legal status.
