Via Tyler Cowen, a new study estimates the incarceration rate of immigrant men vs. native born Americans from 1870 to the present day. In the present context of the immigration debate we care mostly about immigrants from south of the border, so here's the chart for that:
Up until 1960 male Latino immigrants had a higher incarceration rate than natives, but since then it's been consistently lower. It's currently about 20% below the overall native rate.
It's not mexicans / latinos anymore...
“One hundred ten thousand migrants we have to feed, clothe, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets, give them everything they need, health care,” Adams said. Texas has sent over 13,000 migrants to New York, according to data shared by Abbott earlier this week. The mayor said the Big Apple receives around 10,000 migrants a month, at first from Venezuela, but then Ecuadorian nationals and Russian-speaking individuals came up from Mexico as time went on. “Now we’re getting Western Africa, now we’re getting people from all over the globe that made their minds up that they’re gonna come through the southern border and coming to New York City,” Adams added.
Go figure.
NYC is colossal, so 10k migrants a month isn't really all that much. There are ~8.5 million people living in NYC, so even on an annual basis, that many migrants is just a bit above 1% (even less, if you compare it to the NYC metro area pop of almost 20 million). By comparison, NYC hosts >60 million tourists per year, and sees a flux of about a million commuters each work day.
But it is an expense: these people are being conned into these plane and bus trips and pulled away from their court dates.
Sanctuary isn’t cheap.
The other story of that graph... 1980?!?
Good question. Lead?
Kevin has produced another graph that he cannot interpret because he knows too little background info about what is being graphed.
