Yes.

Evidence shows both undocumented and legal immigrants in the U.S. consistently have much lower crime and incarceration rates than natives across crime categories. This trend challenges popular beliefs and highlights the importance of accurate data for fair immigration and criminal justice policies, emphasizing immigrant contributions to safety.

So, its literally true that if you deported all native born citizens and left only immigrants, the crime rate would go down.

Thus, if you deport a subset of native born citizens, the same still applies.

I really hope people continue to talk about this more, because this feels to me like it’s one of the most successful lies of the Trump admin (and, as I understand it, other right-wing nationalist movements around the world)

  I mean, I thought this was common knowledge, but apparently it isn’t.
  
  I’m also an autistic data analyst type of person, so I just … actually do consume data and reports and such basically for fun.
  
  But anyway yeah, the entire right wing narrative on this is wholly ass backwards and based on not just lies, but a literal inversion of reality.
  
  Fascists gonna fascist.
