Border Cities Are Among The Safest Cities In The U.S.

 The chart above uses information about crime statistics from the FBI. It compares the eight largest border cities to eight other cities of their size. Note that the eight border cities have a lower violent crime rate than the other cities.

This is not new. It has been true for years. Trump has tried to claim the border cities have an enormous crime rate because of undocumented immigrants. That was always a lie! The border cities are among the safest cities in the United States, and always have been.
