A range of studies shows there is no evidence immigrants commit more crime than native-born Americans. In fact, first generation immigrants are predisposed to lower crime rates than native-born Americans.

The Democratic Presidential candidates are avoiding these issues in order to cultivate support among White Americans.
Arizona faces many challenges ahead. None is more important or more pressing than passing a new state budget.
