This only goes to 2018. Most of the issues being raised these days seem to have happened in the past 4 years.
[...]

Yet Trump did not accept to change it when he could.

So on these two options:
a) by mere effect of magic (just like Trump "won" the elections but lost the elections) the immigrants have become criminals, but only the last four years.

or maybe...

b) they are still less criminally active that the average US citizen and the argument about them is a lie that has been used during the last four years.
What seems to you like the most likely explanation of these two??

So ignore everything I said about the past 4 years and queue an odd deflection to Trump... do you by chance work for CBS or MSNBC? Cheesy

It seems the reality is Trump actually tried hard to change things during his time, sometimes extreme and unlawful things, the things that got through did appear to have an effect during his time if you look at the previous charts.

To answer your question, I'd lean towards A (with no magic needed). Your chart only looked at 1 state, as some sort of proof for a snide generalization.

Let’s get away from your 1 state averages and look at some totals now, I've highlighted some of my concerns, but the overall numbers I think speak for themselves on the caliber of people trying to get through in the past 4 years.

On top of this, nobody is taking into account any of the additional issues that occur (outside of crime) when immigration is increased to this level, quickly, without the resources to support them.
Skilled labor has a good shot of making it, but that doesn't seem to be anywhere near the majority of immigrants coming in.

~The fact that you have to explain that also explains many other things.

I guess this explains your lack of connection to reality.... you need more training. Wink
