Yeah because outside of America there are no criminals, there is no crime, it's just a complete paradise in the whole of the world, there's no CJNG, CDS Los Zetas, Boko Haram, Vodou killing almost 200 elderly because "witchcraft,” none of that; there's no countries with Sharia law that still stone women to death for being raped, noooo, and all those women's trials totally have lawyers and are totally fair.
C'mon lmao. I don't like Maga idiots either but they're far from the only criminals in the world.
Yeah everywhere has criminals but it's not picking people at random from other countries.
The type of people who want to migrate somewhere usually do not want to stir up trouble in their new home.
Yeah there's nothing like MS-13, Sur 13 (Sureños), Cartel De Gulfo, Latin Kings, Nuestra Familia, Norteños, White Fence, Serbian Mafia, Russian Mafia, Italian Mafia (I think they're done now due to RICO but still), Armenian Power, Tren de Aragua, Sun Yee On, 14k, Wo Hop To, Foochow Paul's Green Dragons, Ping On, Ghost Shadows, Flying Dragons, Wah Ching, Black Dragons...
And I guess that the meme is also assuming the local gangs like Crips, Bloods, Piru, GDs and BDs, O Block, FYB, etc are all Trump supporters, which, I mean, wanna bet? I've got $10 right now that says they aren't. Shouldn't even be too hard to find out just make VladTV ask them.
(Side note, Asain gangs have the coolest names by far. And yes I've read/watched a lot about gangs, it's actually pretty interesting stuff despite being, y'know, bad and whatnot.)
They're not saying immigrants never commit crimes, but that they commit them at much lower rates than us born citizens.
If you're trying to reduce crime, the effective thing to do is target where it actually is rather than scrounging for crumbs where you would like it to be.
I'm sure the poster pulled these numbers out of their ass. I wonder what the real numbers would be.
It's guaranteed that replacing MAGA people with the same kind of immigrants we have today would reduce crime, but how much?
Yeah, that's my reaction too. I'm guessing over 50% is likely true. The immigrants that make it here in the vast majority of cases is literally because they were hard workers and they came to work. Vs these violent racist shitbags who support trump.
It's almost impossible to say without really breaking down policing and crime rates by granular particulars that I'm not sure we really track with accuracy, as the US's crime tracking is massively skewed because of things like over-policing, redlining/segregation remnants (an actual nazi on Lemmy actually pulled the 13/50 argument with me today) and of course under-reporting some crimes and over-reporting other crimes. Basically, our criminal justice system is so fucked in America that we can't trust stats... so yeah, OP's image might as well just make numbers up, it's not like we have highly trustworth alternatives.
As for actual numbers, I did find this report from 2023 that seems somewhat reliable, it massively points to white families as the number one perpetrator in crimes against children in the US. (these stats include neglect, which is why women have a higher percentage of perpetration than men.)
Rates of just immigrant criminality have been studied, and as most of us know, it's been shown that immigrants commit far less crime than native populations, and are about 60% less likely to be incarcerated for criminal behavior.
It doesn't help that for a lot of minority communities, crimes against children and domestic issues often just go unreported.

Why stop at age 50? Go all the way.
I assume (or at least, I hope) that they're basing this on some kind of violent crime rate statistics, hence the cut-off.
It would be nice to include a source for posts like this, to help prevent it being labeled as propaganda if the numbers are legit.

She's kidding herself if she thinks immigrants have more respect for women but it's a nice thought

Let's just deport all MAGAts. They're easily replaceable, seeing as how they're worthless.
Then people will be standing in line for years to get in to this place. Oh man, sign me the fuck up.
Why stop at just the men?
I for one would gladly trade Magatards for immigrants any day.
But let's be real, which sane country would accept a horde of entitled, violent, lazy, self-righteous child-abusing cis white Christian males?
Probably easier to just go dump them out at sea.

Look fuck ICE, try them in court and hang them.
But this is an absurd statement.

A woman on Instagram made an excellent point. In the past few years in UK and Ireland, anti-immigration protests happened whenever children and women are attacked by immigrants. However, how come these same protesters don't come out for female victims of domestic abuse or sexually assaulted? Oh yeah I know, because for them, they treat someone who looks different as being worse and held to different standards. It signals "only we can treat our women bad! Fuck off they're ours, foreigners! Moreover, xenophobia is also a projection to bigots' own insecurities. They look for someone deemed weaker to lash out to because they could not be anymore angrier and hateful to themselves. It is our lizard brain putting us on our leash and being enslaved to emotions.

Yes, this is the sort of insanity some of the dumbest people left-of-center seem to genuinely believe. Or perhaps this is the sort of insanity that sock puppet bots from Russia are spreading to make them look bad.
Don't be like them if you want to make it more probable that your side wins.

I might have blocked her at this point - I used to see Annie's posts constantly. She's absolutely right, I just can not STAND the Facebook Boomer style of images she posts.
I honestly can't comprehend the concept of posting an image of just text on a microblogging website... Unless maybe it's reshared, but still. I guess everything to try to grasp the fleeting attention these days, all down hill from here.
