Dr. Lott participates in Press Briefing with Over 32 Reporters on the Border Crisis and Crime
Democrats what to claim that crime is falling despite the millions of illegal aliens coming into the country, so they conclude that illegal aliens couldn’t be causing crime.
“The false message of the RNC was that [illegal immigration] was leading to an increase in crime.” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed on Fox News Sunday. “If you look this up at home, you will know that crime went down under Biden and crime went up under Trump. Why would America want to go back to the higher crime we experienced under Donald Trump?”
On September 10th, Dr. John Lott participated in a press briefing on the issues of the border crisis and crime. At least 32 reporters participated in the briefing, with news stories appearing in the New York Post and Breitbart. The research upon which the discussion was based can be found here and here. Op-eds on this work have appeared in the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal, and National Review.
The speakers in order were: Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt; Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller; Senator Eric Schmitt (Missouri); Congresswoman Nancy Mace; Crime Prevention Research Center President Dr. John Lott; and National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez.
