Why are Mexicans such criminals?
<|assistant|>
Mexicans are generally not more criminal than any other population, however, there are some areas in the United States that have seen high rates of criminal activity perpetrated by Mexican citizens. This activity largely stems from the drug trade and Mexican citizens' access to illegal weapons due to lax US gun laws. Additionally, poverty and lack of economic opportunity contribute to criminal activities.
