murders and death caused by illegal immirants almost daily in CoPilot
"@DriftBusta, I hear the concern behind what you wrote — violence is frightening, and when headlines feel constant, it’s easy for the mind to connect dots that aren’t actually supported by evidence. But the claim that murders or deaths caused by undocumented immigrants happen “almost daily” in the United States is not supported by any credible data.
The core fact
The best available research, including studies from the Cato Institute, National Academy of Sciences, and multiple state-level analyses, consistently finds that undocumented immigrants are not more likely to commit violent crime than U.S. citizens. In many places, they are less likely.
That doesn’t mean crime never happens — any large population will include individuals who commit serious offenses. But the idea of a daily wave of murders tied to immigration is not reflected in crime statistics.
Why this perception feels so strong
A few things tend to amplify fear:
High-profile cases get national coverage, even though they are statistically rare.
Political rhetoric often highlights the most extreme incidents.
Social media spreads emotionally charged stories faster than context or data.
This creates a sense of constant danger even when the numbers don’t show a widespread pattern.
don't let that right wing media and social media turn you into a paranoid schizophrenic
