Immigrants Commit Crimes at Lower Rates; Republicans Exploit Boat Tragedy to Stoke Fear
Scapegoating & dehumanization
A fatal capsizing is repeatedly framed around the captain’s undocumented status, turning an isolated accident into generalized proof that immigrants endanger Americans. The coordinated focus fuels fear and hostility rather than addressing maritime safety.

Exclusive | Captain in fatal NY Harbor boat tragedy is illegal immigrant : feds
No one is  gonna condone what happens its a tragedy the guy should be dealt with accordingly to the fullest extent of the law. It still doesn’t hide the fact that illegal immigrant crime statistically is way below that of American naturalized citizens. Further, we have to also recognize the positive impact that these people have on society like $93 billion in total taxes ,filling jobs in America needs and citizens don’t want and mass deportation of non criminals is causing a labor shortage in many industries such as farming, construction Restaurant and Hospitality. We need legislation rather than dog whistles !! let’s come up with some ideas congress needs to act immediately senator langford a republican presented a good starting point . The present cruel mindless extremely costly system is not in the country’s best interests

And the use of the word illegal makes it sound like they're all criminals when actually being here without the appropriate paperwork is a misdemeanor like a traffic ticket. The fact that we have a group of militarized thugs running around and arresting people who are citizens, service people, pregnant women, nuns, And even trying to go on Indian reservations is absolutely insane
