I've heard that immigrants that cross the U.S./Mexico border, are mostly thieves and rapists. Is that true?

That is not true. Immigrants crossing the U.S./Mexico border generally commit low-level offenses, such as seeking work or trying to make a better life for their families. In 2018, a fact-checking organization found that 9 in 10 immigrants apprehended at the border are not criminals, however, those fleeing dangerous conditions in their home countries are sometimes charged with felonies for seeking asylum. It is important to note that all immigrants must go through an extensive background check before being approved for a visa or green card.
