> First of all, the link you provided mixes illegal migration with legal migration

No it doesn't. I chose that article specifically because it provides figures for native-born citizens, legal immigrants and illegal immigrants:

> Over the 10-year period from 2013 to 2022, the homicide conviction rate in Texas for illegal immigrants was 2.2 per 100,000, compared to 3.0 per 100,000 for native-born Americans. The homicide conviction rate for legal immigrants in Texas was 1.2 per 100,000.

I accept that the figures in other countries may not work out the same way as figures in the USA.

I would not trust these numbers either way, because they are from a think thank with a very specific agenda.
