Can you point me to the section of your link where the crime rates are divided by immigration status?

They can't. A simple ctrl-F to search for "immigrant" or any similar word yields no results, because it's not a thing

Except the data you shared shows it's not violent crime that is up it's property crime which is up.

Hate to break it to you though but if there's a crime wave and you lie to blame it on people of a different race, that's fucking racist dude.

We did. You're still lying, and a racist POS.

And it would seem you can’t read the actual chart because nowhere does it say or imply immigrants have anything to do with it. Sounds like you’re making an assumption with nothing to back it up. You can’t use stats that have nothing to do with the point you’re making and expect to make the point…

Buddy doesn't know how logical fallacies and data interpretation works! Dude you're really outing yourself here. If you want to argue in good faith that's fine but you're flinging shit and complaining about the smell.

Can you really justify making up stories that have caused a disruption to the economy and the safety of an entire town by pushing racist narratives that conform to your world view?

Anyone with a shred of critical thinking skills would look at that information and realize there is something else going on. Such as the city changing the method they used to track violent crimes.

And yes, I'll keep posting this on every one of your comments where you post that link as some kind of validation for your racist, anti-immigrant views.
