Do immigrants who live in the US eventually catch up to the US population as a whole in their propensity to do crime? At some point "immigrants" become "Americans," right?

Yea, are the children of immigrants more or less violent than their American parented counterparts would be a interesting question. The children of immigrants vs. the children of natural born citizens is fascinating in general.

Funny (though nice) to see John Oliver citing Cato research. Love these pieces on immigration — badly needed these days.

The only thing “weird” or wrong about the Great Replacement Theory is the conspiracy part. When decent people dismiss it, that means only Nazis with their evil plans talk about it. The peaceful American solution to the problem is creating a national culture that is healthy and worth assimilating into, and that promotes increased natality and achievement among the descendants of America’s founding stock (which includes blacks).
