No wonder so many of them turn to crime.

I agreed with you until this point. What percentage of them "turn to crime"? Is that percentage higher than non-immigrants? My guess is that it's a negligible fraction.

It may actually bring crime down, but certainly the statistics don't bear out immigration causing increased crime rates.

It's a growing misperception is what it is.

Sorry, I let my frustration turn to sarcasm and leak out, I don't actually believe immigrants have any meaningful impact on crime other than what the news likes to cherry pick. I apologise for the poor taste of that.
