I think we already knew that

Well, it falsified my intuitive guess that more unauthorized immigration might decrease crime because there are more people who risk deportation if they are caught.

It did, except for robberies in high unauthorized immigrant neighborhoods.

Somehow City crime rates went up though.

Did you read anything more than the title of the paper which evaluated statistics through 2018?

There are tens of thousands of "unauthorized" immigrants in prison right now for crimes. Seems like that's some kind of link.

There are tens of millions of US citizens in prison right now, which by actual math conclusively proves you are wrong.

Your point makes no sense. Are you denying there are tens of thousands of illegal aliens in U.S. prisons for crimes?

and as we all know, a random off-hand internet comment will provide more credible analysis than a large-scale study

I don't get it, are you denying there are tens of thousands of illegal aliens in U.S. prisons? Just a quick search of google returns

> An estimated 79,825 illegal immigrants aged 18 to 54 were incarcerated across federal, state, and local correctional systems in the United States
