- Legal and undocumented immigrants commits a total lower crime rate than native-born United States citizen.


- This includes violent crimes, property crimes, and drug violations, the only exception being traffic violations.


- The difference is even more stark if legal and undocumented immigrants are counted separately, with undocumented immigrants committing a much lower crime rate in every aspect.
