Let's just deport all MAGAts. They're easily replaceable, seeing as how they're worthless.

Then people will be standing in line for years to get in to this place. Oh man, sign me the fuck up.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah but who would want them.

[–] ComradeRachel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago

Technically we probably would have lower crime if we only let vetted people in who have gone through an immigration process be within the USA and like got rid of bad people who happened to be born here but that’s obviously not how things work or would work in a magical world.

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 84 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

I'm sure the poster pulled these numbers out of their ass. I wonder what the real numbers would be.

It's guaranteed that replacing MAGA people with the same kind of immigrants we have today would reduce crime, but how much?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 33 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, that's my reaction too. I'm guessing over 50% is likely true. The immigrants that make it here in the vast majority of cases is literally because they were hard workers and they came to work. Vs these violent racist shitbags who support trump.

It's almost impossible to say without really breaking down policing and crime rates by granular particulars that I'm not sure we really track with accuracy, as the US's crime tracking is massively skewed because of things like over-policing, redlining/segregation remnants (an actual nazi on Lemmy actually pulled the 13/50 argument with me today) and of course under-reporting some crimes and over-reporting other crimes. Basically, our criminal justice system is so fucked in America that we can't trust stats... so yeah, OP's image might as well just make numbers up, it's not like we have highly trustworth alternatives.

As for actual numbers, I did find this report from 2023 that seems somewhat reliable, it massively points to white families as the number one perpetrator in crimes against children in the US. (these stats include neglect, which is why women have a higher percentage of perpetration than men.)

Rates of just immigrant criminality have been studied, and as most of us know, it's been shown that immigrants commit far less crime than native populations, and are about 60% less likely to be incarcerated for criminal behavior.

It doesn't help that for a lot of minority communities, crimes against children and domestic issues often just go unreported.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 3 points 17 hours ago

agreed, honestly what I would really like someone to do if they are able, get a large enough sample size of ice enforcers names and run background checks. So we can demonstrate side by side the percentage of people with histories of violent offences and property crimes, next to the low percentage of illegal immigrants going out. On a practical level it's obvious how it will pan out, but posting things with "trust me bro".

[–] gaymer@aussie.zone 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Asian women will also be safe. Most MAGA men go after Asian women as they are easy target. I read somewhere that in asian countries they worship White men and dream of marrying them one day.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 43 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

But then who would get all the DUIs? Checkmate libs!

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

Our prison system will fail!

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

So you're saying a side effect of this would be defunding the police

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Dodge Ram trucks just do that. They have FSDUI built in, so if no ones driving those it solves like three problems.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I for one would gladly trade Magatards for immigrants any day.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 4 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

But let's be real, which sane country would accept a horde of entitled, violent, lazy, self-righteous child-abusing cis white Christian males?

Probably easier to just go dump them out at sea.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Send them to Mars with Musk. Watch from satellite as they cannibalize themselves out of existence within a year.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 1 points 15 hours ago

I want you to take my life savings, and make this a reality. Live-streamed like the Truman show. I wanna see which oligarch comes out on top in the battle royale

[–] nocturne@slrpnk.net 24 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Why stop at age 50? Go all the way.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 24 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I assume (or at least, I hope) that they're basing this on some kind of violent crime rate statistics, hence the cut-off.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

It would be nice to include a source for posts like this, to help prevent it being labeled as propaganda if the numbers are legit.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 10 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

There's no way those numbers are legit.

My thoughts exactly. Political affiliation is not a statistical crime category collected by law enforcement, so I'd like to see the source behind these numbers as well.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Political affiliation may not be a statistical category collected by law enforcement (though I do question the veracity of that statement, but I don't have the means or the time to dig into it), but we absolutely do have enough info on things like the political leanings of offenders and other similar data points to make confident claims about such data when talking about specific types of crime.

Not saying that I don't absolutely want to see a source behind the claim as well, though. I don't take any of these kinds of claims without some kind of data backing it up. Just that I do know that we can make some confident claims on the political leanings of those guilty of things like mass shootings, as mere seconds before Charlie Kirk was shot he was in the middle of arguing with a woman who was citing statistics on the number of people shot by trans people over the past decade in mass shootings compared to the number of people shot by conservative white men in mass shootings over the past decade (something like 5 to 437 if I remember correctly).

[–] punchmesan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

By looking at voter registration and data broker information you can connect that information, sure. On an individual basis it's easy. But it's a different matter to collect that data on all convicted criminals in the country within a given time period. The larger the time period the harder that gets, especially considering that people with older offenses and no recurring offense can petition the court to have their records sealed, making an accurate count harder.

And, speaking as someone who's been on the wrong side of law enforcement a few times in my youth, political affiliation or leanings would not be part of the record unless it was relevant (e.g. politically motivated crime). At least, if it wasn't part of my arrest or court records, then it can't be true in all localities.

The stats are way off, so I'm curious where they got those numbers.

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

My gut tells me "it was revealed to them in a dream"

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

A woman on Instagram made an excellent point. In the past few years in UK and Ireland, anti-immigration protests happened whenever children and women are attacked by immigrants. However, how come these same protesters don't come out for female victims of domestic abuse or sexually assaulted? Oh yeah I know, because for them, they treat someone who looks different as being worse and held to different standards. It signals "only we can treat our women bad! Fuck off they're ours, foreigners! Moreover, xenophobia is also a projection to bigots' own insecurities. They look for someone deemed weaker to lash out to because they could not be anymore angrier and hateful to themselves. It is our lizard brain putting us on our leash and being enslaved to emotions.

[–] Darkness343@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Our south American countries have those same immigrants you want to include. We don't have white maga men here and the amount of crime and homicides of both men and women are through the roof.

Is that what you want to import?

Look fuck ICE, try them in court and hang them. 

But this is an absurd statement.

Can confirm; plenty of abusive/criminal MAGA women out there.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 11 hours ago

AND THE CHILDREN, TOO.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago

Basically, every Karen, to start.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Every single MAGA dipshit I've interfaced with IRL, to a person, has been a shitstain of a human being. Most immigrants I've met have been super nice and work hard.

Immigrants > MAGAt Traitors

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

I'm okay with this.

[–] Nebraska_Huskers@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Ok, how do we do this. PS I'm a white male

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

As a white man, I agree

[–] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Deport them where though? Maybe Mars?

[–] king_comrade@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Oof this thread is ripe for 13/52 trollposting 😬
