Comprehension is hard?
Here's what I find hard to comprehend: if you're only referencing undocumented immigrants, how can you say they will commit more anything, since there's no one to compare to? I can't say
"Red Sox fans make more rude comments" unless there's an implicit "than non-Red Sox fans". And you can't say undocumented immigrants are more likely to "keep breaking the rules" unless you have an implicit "than documented immigrants and/or citizens".
