    I would have no problem getting anyone at r/conservative to pull up similar data points and statistics to show immigrants are taking jobs, contributing to crime statistics or any other claim.

    You’ll find conservatives rarely bother trying to do this because it’s simply statistically not true

      Absolutely not true. I find more often they use lots of statistics. That’s the whole facts over feelings thing.
