Do white nationals in poverty not commit crime?
My assumption would be that crime is poverty related (I think this has been shown in various studies) and nothing to do with immigrant / black part.
In fact, I'd argue there are only two concentrated causes of crime left in America: prohibition, and black + immigrant poverty (with the war on drugs and the prison machine having a significant role to play in black poverty).
