They are "criminals," immigrants! The article "More immigrants, less death: An analysis of immigration effects on county-level drug overdose deaths, 2000-2015" (Feldmeyer et al. 2022) discusses how false beliefs, such as those implied by the first statement, can be ingrained into people's minds and affect their judgments, which can lead to a false stigmatization regarding the association between immigrants and crime (Feldmeyer et al. 2022). The argument that immigration leads to an increase in violent crime is refuted in this article.
