More on the weak leftist defense of the MN Somali community (using incarceration rates as a bad proxy for crime rates), and a better statistical analysis with obvious conclusions.
Consider a simple example: two groups of 40-year-old men, one American-born, the other immigrants who arrived in the U.S. at age 39. The groups are otherwise identical and have the same crime rates.
Will they be equally likely to be incarcerated at age 40? Obviously not. The immigrants will have had just one year to commit a crime and end up behind bars; the American-born will have had decades of opportunities to do so.
Accordingly, in this make-believe example, native-born Americans will be mechanically more likely to be incarcerated at age 40, even though the two groups have identical crime rates by design. By the same logic, their very different tenures in the United States mean that you cannot infer from incarceration rates that the immigrant group has a lower crime rate. Even if an immigrant group were to offend at very high rates, differences in tenure alone could still yield lower incarceration rates than those of native-born Americans who commit fewer crimes.
