      And I fully expect there is a higher ratio of “bad apples” among other groups, including “American citizens.”

        316 people are shot in America every day. ~ 340 million people in the U.S.
        Claims of 7+ million migrants have come in since 2021. Round up to their benefit and say 8/340 puts us at 2.35% of the populous. So that should mean we should be hearing about more than 7 people shot by migrants daily.

        That doesn’t address other forms of crime… But I surely am not hearing of 7 a day

      No, because unlike cops there’s no requirement to associate or work with a bad apple. You don’t have to defend them or even tolerate them. You can just walk away. So while they’re in the same category, they are not in the same barrel.
