I just want to point out that socioeconomic status is generally not an established correlate of crime, despite many thinking it is, though it's possible that the disparity may cause people to commit crime. It's probably not very accurate to attribute crime to immigrants being poor.

Could you provide some evidence of this rather bold claim? I really am interested because many of my opinions are based on this assumption.
