“Homicides across 35 major American cities fell 21% in 2025, amounting to 922 fewer people killed. Robberies dropped 23%. Gun assaults declined 22%. Carjackings plummeted 43%.

Yet the Trump administration has yanked hundreds of millions of dollars from the programs that helped make those numbers possible.”

No “research” helped make those numbers possible. Enforcing the laws made those numbers possible, especially immigration laws. How could you think otherwise??

“As a scholar focused on how policy decisions and structural conditions shape crime in marginalized communities…” Oh.

No kidding ? Really ? Gee kind of like that “homeless problem”, as soon as there were big budgets and never-ending programs, solving the problem became impossible. Homeless populations exploded. So, throwing money at the problem wasn’t a solution, but enhanced the problem. Just like crime reduction and prevention. Now, let’s do public schools and colleges. I’m seeing a pattern here.

The USAID was a democrat slush fund. Just like most federal spending. I’m getting what I voted for.
