I'm not a US citizen.

Anyway I would not start doing that kind of reasoning. I know it's with good intentions. But it gives space to those who want to say that some group of people are bad just because a collateral reason.

What if statistics would say that inmigrants do more crime? What if someone make a logical reason justifying that moving for one place to another makes you a bad person?

I prefer not entering into that arguments. Each person should be judged by it's actions, and not by which racial, national or any other not related group they belong.

Also, I refuse to be called "worse" just because I did not emigrated, just saying.

Then we'd likely see a reversed set of incentives - lower expenses, fewer personal risks, less surveillance, and a screening process that encourages a surplus youth male population.

That's expensive and inefficient. Far cheaper to apply a regional/ethnic heuristic, even if it is less reliable per capita. Build a big beautiful wall to keep all the Bad Guys Out, because you know they're statistically bad, rather than staffing the border with Personality Inspectors and Minority Report style future-crime prediction police.

You're statistically worse for staying in your shithole country, rather than coming to the Best Country On Earth.
