Americans have long believed that immigrants are more likely than natives to commit crimes and that rising immigration leads to rising crime... This belief is remarkably resilient to the contrary evidence that immigrants are in fact much less likely than natives to commit crimes.
On one side, in most countries—with the notable exception of the United States—immigrants exhibit a disproportionate involvement in criminal activity compared to natives, as measured by the relative incarceration rate of the two groups. In addition, certain kinds of immigrants, including young and less-educated men and those with irregular legal status, display a much higher propensity to commit crimes than those with documented status. These factors would seem to suggest a positive link between immigration and crime. On the other side, studies designed to measure the effect of immigration inflow effects on local crime rates do not, in general, find any detectable causal effect of immigration on local crime rates. For example, all previous studies relying on the shift-share instrumental variable approach estimate crime elasticities close to zero in various countries, and we further confirm this result on new data across European countries and regions.

The principal findings suggest, in most European countries, a significantly higher rate of foreign citizens held in prison compared to non‐immigrants.
Ojalá teoría del reemplazo, ojalá podamos barrer de fachas y de racistas este país con gente migrante, con gente trabajadora. Claro que yo quiero que haya reemplazo: reemplazo de fachas, reemplazo de racistas, reemplazo de vividores, y que podamos hacerlo con gente trabajadora tengan el color de piel que tengan.[I hope the replacement theory works, I hope we can rid this country of fascists and racists with migrants, with hard-working people. Of course I want replacement: replacement of fascists, replacement of racists, replacement of freeloaders, and I hope we can do it with hard-working people, whatever their skin color.]

Although most research shows immigration has either no impact or a minimal impact on crime, many people seem to believe the connection exists. It seems hostility against immigrants isn't crime itself but false perceptions about crime.
