How does the value of reduced immigrant crime stack up against the cost of skewing the sex balance in a country?

It's a statistical thought experiment, nobody (who is sane) is claiming that it would be a good thing.

Check OP I’m responding too. His question is why racists don’t call for a male immigration ban - not a statistical thought experiment.

I believe they are simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the racist rant. Racists claim that the reason they are against immigration from certain countries because of the increase in crime rate they would allegedly bring.

Immigrants from certain countries do increase crime. It is a matter of public record in many Western countries. Sweden has gone so far as to ban the collection of statistics which reveal this, though earlier statistics and their occasional comprehensive report still indicate the same trend:

I can't help but wonder why you would deny these plain facts.

In which of my comments have I denied (or accepted) it?

PS: Straw man argument is one of the tools racists use frequently. Don't use it too much or you may be mistaken for one.

Your tone clearly indicates skepticism; "racist rants", "allegedly."

PS: Moralizing condescension isn't conducive to a positive response.

> "racist rants"

It is true that I'm being condescending to racists. I'm also not expecting a positive response if the person (not necessarily you) I'm engaging is racist. It would be foolish.

> "allegedly"

Allegedly doesn't mean that they are wrong. It simply means that I don't know if they are wrong or right, because I don't have enough data. If I thought it is complete bollocks I would have written it as such.

Also you seem to ignore that the main point of my comment is the "hypocrisy", i.e. only pointing out racial statistics, ignoring the gender (and possibly other variables, such as age) related ones.
