If you take a look at a popular "white power" forum (initials SF), then you will find that they have an informative "news" forum which posts 100% accurate accounts of crime reports from legitimate news sources.

The intention, of course, is that by making sure to post every account of a crime committed by a minority, then it reinforces the desired perception.
Are there criminals among asylum seekers? Why, of course there are. There are criminals among any numerous population of humans. That's not very remarkable. Ah... but you see... look at all of these news articles that involve members of (fill in the blank) group! There are so many of them! And they are so frequent!
Do you not pay attention to all of the crimes committed in this country by Hispanics, for example? There are many, many crimes in this country committed by Hispanics, and many, many crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. Of course, there are MILLIONS of Hispanics in this country, and each of them is a human. Humans commit crimes, and out of any population of MILLIONS of anyone, you are going to find a grab bag of crimes committed by them.
