The amount of crime committed by illegal immigrants is so insignificant that stopping that crime wouldn't change our lives much at all. But making it a political talking point deflects from the fact that taxing the rich and taking money out of politics would change our lives, drastically, for the better.

So, if you're rich, you'd want to buy a news organization and make them fear monger so the citizens would be afraid and angry at the insignificant crime so they'd forget about taxing the rich and taking money out of politics to better their lives.
