Look...everyone knows illegal aliens don't account for what was it?
Oh yes, "72% of Drug Possession"
So the jig is up isn't it? These are obviously just reflections of conviction rates -- which are highly influenced by how policing and due process is done. So Carlson can make that stupid face he wants -- he didn't prove that that we are all vastly endangering ourselves.
I'm sure there is some crime we experience -- I'm just no so sure it isn't offset by benefits. It's easy to blame the economy on people willing to do the crap jobs for cheap...but that is generally a kind of jobs relegated to the underclass anyway.
"No one born in America should have to pick fruit!" Is the attitude. Economies have a social dimension -- sometimes this inflates the wage of some not-useful jobs (consulting) and deflates the wage of useful ones (picking fruit).
Communist societies put more emphasis on everyone putting in their share of labor. They would make sure rich people spend time pick fruit if they put on airs -- labor as punishment is a much better idea than prison IMO.
