A new study from PPIC states that criminal activity among immigrant groups is lower than native born Americans. The study says that when comparing groups of incarcerated males U.S. and foreign-born and comparing lower levels of education are less likely to be in jail or prison.
This is also true of illegal immigrants and for both populations at national levels of incarceration as well. Some inferences that can be drawn from this study are that immigrants are indeed coming to this nation for work and a chance at prosperity.
