Donald Trump has stated that he will publish a list of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants in order to shame cities into deporting millions of Americans who call our country home.
However you stand on immigration, Trump's decision to publish this list is fear mongering. If you have tens of millions of people, no matter how you slice them, many thousands will have committed a crime every week. Although research on undocumented immigrants is rare, according to this New York Times article and the studies it cites, immigrants, both documented and not, are actually less likely to commit crimes than people born in the United States.
This is why I decided to publish a list of crimes committed by white people. I hope to show that even if we take a group, stereotypically assumed to be 'law-abiding' and 'non-threatening', they will still commit a similar number of crimes as the supposedly 'problematic' immigrant population.
