Regarding justifying a focus on criminality in this immigration discussion, I believe preventing future crimes is the governments primary job. Immigration policy should be based on an attempt to prevent future crimes.
Your free to say that appears. What appeared is the description of the existence of real people and their innocence.
Your justification sounds like the minority report, no wonder the innocent people who maybe or know of minorities, refugees, and immigrants have questions about that approach.
I get it is a future social wellness type position. That 'if we can stop the criminals before, society will be better'. I've done prevention before.
But, that's an awkward position of withholding protection to innocent people with a motive to preventing speculative future harm of innocent people.
And determined criminals are going to try show anyway right? Withholding protection of innocent people does nothing to stop anybody from doing anything to get anywhere.
BTW Is it the host country that is going to "make" new-coming innocent people violent criminals, in the future?
How much does suspicion of immigrants and refugees contribute to the host nation's present and future social wellness? Have you seen what bigotry and prejudice can do to a people?
