5:12Now PlayingImmigration has been a common theme throughout the first two nights of the Republican National Convention. On Monday, speakers included two mothers whose sons were killed by undocumented immigrants. But a new report by the American Immigration Council, that won’t likely be cited by any speakers at this year’s Republican National Convention, finds immigrants are less likely than the nativeborn to engage in criminal behavior and that higher immigration is associated with lower crime rates. We speak with its coauthor, Walter Ewing, a senior researcher at the American Immigration Council. His recent article is "Republican Party Platform Shows Little Understanding of Immigration Policy."
