I see now what you did. I had assumed that you wanted a question relevant to the issue being discussed i.e. whether illegal migrants commit less crime than US citizens. But in your usual slippery way, you had tried to conflate two different issues.

I would expect that the research has taken that into account.
Anway, here is the answer to that irrelevant question you wanted me to ask:
AI Overview
'are non US citizens over represented in the US prison population'
Based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and independent analyses,
non-U.S. citizens are not over-represented in the total U.S. prison population compared to their share of the overall population.
While non-citizens make up a significant portion of the federal prison population, they are significantly under-represented in state and local prisons, which house the vast majority (about 90%) of all incarcerated people in the United States.
Here is a breakdown of the evidence:
1. Overall Incarceration Rates
- Lower Rates: Studies covering the period from 1870 to 2020 show that immigrants (both legal and undocumented) have consistently had lower incarceration rates than native-born U.S. citizens.
- 2023 Data: In 2023, the native-born American incarceration rate was 1,221 per 100,000, compared to 613 per 100,000 for undocumented immigrants and 319 per 100,000 for legal immigrants.
- Under-representation: In 2018, while non-citizens (including legal and undocumented) made up roughly 15% of the total population, they constituted a much smaller share of the total prison population, especially when excluding those held for immigration offenses.
Why would anyone care about the US prison population? What relevance is it to anything?
As we're all posting irrelevant stuff that's unrelated to the thread title...
n 1946, American theoretical astrophysicist Lyman Spitzer, "father of Hubble" proposed to put a telescope in space.[1][2] Spitzer's proposal called for a large telescope that would not be hindered by Earth's atmosphere. After lobbying in the 1960s and 70s for such a system to be built, Spitzer's vision ultimately materialized into the Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched on April 24, 1990, by the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-31).[3] This was launched due to many efforts by Nancy Grace Roman, "mother of Hubble", who was the first Chief of Astronomy and first female executive at NASA.[4] She was a program scientist that worked to convince NASA, Congress, and others that Hubble was "very well worth doing".[5]
The first operational space telescopes were the American Orbiting Astronomical Observatory, OAO-2 launched in 1968, and the Soviet Orion 1 ultraviolet telescope aboard space station Salyut 1 in 1971.

This is a good example of how the phrasing of your question directs the output from AI. Remember that the LLM is designed to make you happy and agree with you when possible.
Wrong again.
This is delving into the lack of training by ICE agents and the unaccountability they enjoy when a member of the public is shot and killed.
Did you not read the OP?
ICE agents shot at least 12 people this and last year. From 2015 to 2021, ICE agents discharged a firearm at least 59 times, injuring 24 people and killing 23 others.
It all goes back to a post by SPLINE earlier today. He said that illegal immigrants were causing a national emergency in the USA. I said they were a lot more law abiding than US citizens. SPLINE said I was talking rubbish. So, I just provided a few facts.
Ask MBK. He decided to randomly shoe horn it into the thread. Perhaps he (wrongly) thought it would bolster his argument.

What use is it, if it only tells you what you want to hear?
Just ask well thought out, neutral and reasonable questions.

Illegal immigration is a national emergency here and in the US.
"Neutral and reasonable questions"?
You mean left-wing questions!
As opposed to biased and leading questions from right wanging commentators.
