You are just... so terrible at understanding statistics it's hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
Really?
So you disagree with my broad strokes explainer on undocumented population distribution?
Or do you disagree with my assertion that most perpetrators of crime victimize people in their same community?
When your entire premise is wrong you don't get to claim minor victories. They do not sum up to you being correct if you still get the wrong answer with the correct variables. You've shown your work but the answer is still wrong. Do better.
Whew! For a split second you had me wondering whether or not you were completely full of shit, thanks for clearing that up.
So... You don't disagree that the majority of the undocumented migrant population reside within communities that have large numbers of other undocumented persons.
And you don't disagree that most perpetrators of crime victimize people within their same communities...
You just believe that undocumented persons report crimes to law enforcement at the same rates as legal residents and citizens...?
I take it you also believe the reported rates of rapes and sexual assaults to be accurate as well?
Well, if you do, let me be the first to tell you that rapes and sexual assaults are also underreported at statistically significant rates.
