Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of crimes committed in the United States by illegal aliens
This list was created after the article creator failed to get approval to fill several immigration-related articles with similar anecdotal content (e.g. "illegal immigrants XYZ committed grotesque murders"), had his category "Crimes committed by illegal immigrants"https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_January_24&oldid=883434358#Category:Crimes_committed_by_illegal_immigrants deleted, and created the dubious Illegal immigration to the United States and crime for the sole reason to list these individual crimes (though the list within the article was eventually removed)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States_and_crime. The editor has in the past recognized that the academic research on the topic of crime and illegal immigration disagrees with himhttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Illegal_immigration_to_the_United_States&diff=879882154&oldid=879881436, and the desire to highlight individual crimes by illegal immigrants seems intended to give the false impression that illegal immigrants are particularly crime-prone. Lastly, "illegal alien" is a pejorative and fails . Wikipedia is not Breitbart, and the desire to introduce the equivalent of Breitbart's "Black crime" categoryhttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/16/magazine/breitbart-alt-right-steve-bannon.html should be frowned upon considerably. If this article is OKayed, it'll be propagated by every white supremacist, racist and immigration hardliner on forums and in social media to give the appearance that illegal immigrants are particularly crime-prone (even though the research on the subject completely debunks that notion). It is utterly beyond me how editors can claim there is no NPOV problem here. I eagerly anticipate "List of crimes by African-Americans" and "List of gang rapes by Muslims" now that some Wikipedia editors want to open this pandora's box of , and allow this website to corrupt public discourse and perception in this way. It is no coincidence that this list mirrors the Trump administration's Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement initiative, the sole purpose of which was to race-bait and scapegoat illegal immigrants by highlighting all the grotesque crimes committed by individual illegal immigrants
