Undocumented immigrants far less likely to commit crimes in U.S. than citizens

 “They have a tremendous incentive to avoid criminal wrongdoing. The greatest fear among undocumented immigrants is getting in legal trouble that leads to deportation,” says Light, whose work is supported by the National Science Foundation and National Institute of Justice.


Another factor at work may be that immigration, especially illegal entry into the U.S., is not easy. It attracts people with particular motives.


“There’s lots of opportunity to commit crimes in Mexico and Venezuela and other places people are emigrating from,” Light says. “The argument is that many people who want to immigrate are selected on attributes like ambition to achieve, to find economic opportunities, and those types of things aren’t very highly correlated with having a criminal propensity.”


非正規移民は警官のやっかいになると、国外退去になるから犯罪からは遠のく動機がある、と。さらに、アメリカへの入国は困難でその高いハードルを乗り越えて入国する非正規移民は犯罪以外の動機のほうが強いのだろう、と。
