Vance made a controversial statement linking immigrants and crime, claiming massive ethnic enclaves can lead to higher crime rates, reflecting outdated misconceptions.
Multiple studies, including one from Stanford in 2023, have debunked the claimed connection between immigrants, both documented and undocumented, and rising crime rates.
Vance's assertion that 20-25 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. in recent years is starkly contradicted by the Pew Research Center's data of about 11 million.
Cities like Miami and Honolulu, which Vance might label as threatening ethnic enclaves, actually boast lower violent crime rates compared to the national average.
