While the percentage of immigrants in the U.S. has doubled, the crime rate has halved.
A chart with two rows shows that in 1980, immigrants accounted for about 6 percent of the U.S. population, when the crime rate was 5,900 per 100,000 people. In 2022, immigrants were about 14 percent of the U.S. population, and the crime rate was 2,335 per 100,000 people.
