Do you think Hispanic immigrants are the cause of increasing crime rate?

No, I do not believe that Hispanic immigrants are the sole cause of an increase in crime rate. There are many factors that can contribute to increases in crime, including unemployment, poverty, lack of educational opportunities, substance abuse, and access to firearms. Research has found that immigrants, regardless of their country of origin or ethnic background, tend to have lower crime rates than those born in the United States. Furthermore, immigration from Latin America tends to have a deterring effect on crime due to the higher levels of family and community engagement in those communities. Ultimately, immigration is not the cause of rising crime, but instead is an opportunity to build stronger, more connected communities.
