5. These kinds of numbers don't mean anything if they aren't

compared to other numbers.

How many Americans are killed by other Americans every day?

How many "illegal" and "legal" immigrants are killed by Americans every day?

The assumption they are making by looking ONLY at those numbers is that immigrants are more dangerous to have around than Americans, but I sincerely doubt that's the case.

And if someone has legally immigrated, then I don't get why they're being linked with people who are here illegally anyway.
