It's not a pointless observation. If we restricted immigration to women only, violence perpetrated by immigrants would drop somewhere north of 90%.

Violence perpetrated ON immigrants however, would inevitably rise since the same statistical validity applied to most women being the victims of violence.
>women being the victims of violence.

What sort of violence are we talking about? Men are murdered far more often than women across the globe, at a ratio of about 4 to 1:

Men are slightly more likely than women to experience domestic violence in the US, per the CDC's National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey:

However, woman are about twice as likely to become victims of sexual violence:

You know this just seems like male on male violence to me ;)

Hundreds of black men have died violent deaths because of bad policy written by those who, like you, avert their eyes from reality when it suits them:

Granted, they don't always do it with a droll non-sequitur.

What reality do you think I'm averting my eyes from?
That heritable factors which correlate with race significantly impact rates of violent crime, including large differences in crime rates between groups; that these differences matter more than sex differences, particularly given taboos around race; and that this knowledge should drive expectations for fair criminal justice policy.
How does the value of reduced immigrant crime stack up against the cost of skewing the sex balance in a country?
It's a statistical thought experiment, nobody (who is sane) is claiming that it would be a good thing.
Check OP I’m responding too. His question is why racists don’t call for a male immigration ban - not a statistical thought experiment.
I believe they are simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the racist rant. Racists claim that the reason they are against immigration from certain countries because of the increase in crime rate they would allegedly bring.
