Look, I'm all for deportation of violent criminals like our buddy Alberto here. But the implication that this murder is somehow "worse" because of the dude's immigration status is flat out wrong lol You're quite literally using this dude's death to falsely push a narrative. Immigrants are no more or no less violent than the average citizen.

I agree that nobody is intrinsically less or more violent, but in practice they're actually significantly less violent on average because they have a stronger incentive to stay out of trouble.
The study found that undocumented immigrants had substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens and legal immigrants across a range of felony offenses. Relative to undocumented immigrants, U.S.-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes. In addition, the proportion of arrests involving undocumented immigrants in Texas was relatively stable or decreasing over this period.
