The mental health outcomes are most severe when you're right next to your parent and you witness it.

And depending on the level of the violence, right?

Yeah.

As we're seeing in Minnesota right now, the use of tear gas, the threatening with weapons will have worse outcomes, understandably, than requesting that someone leaves without weapons drawn.

So evidence is pretty clear that immigrants and undocumented immigrants are far less likely to engage in criminal activity than citizens, right?

Less likely.

At a baseline, communities with more immigrants are going to have lower crime rates just kind of at a baseline.

For many reasons, right?

Including that immigrants have more tenuous status in the U.S.

And, you know, there's more legal repercussions for less serious crimes.

So there tends to be less crimes, right?

I would say that when people do not trust ICE, which is obviously appropriate for any number of reasons, they will not trust the police and they will not trust any other government service in that community.

The man is a man is a man.

The man in green and the man in blue are the same thing.
