Article Evaluation: Illegal Immigration to the United States

The fourth paragraph of this article sounds like it tilts to bias on pro immigration. They talk about how "there is no evidence that illegal immigration increases the rate of crime in the United States", when there are over hundreds of stories of illegal immigrants harming and even killing Americans. They talk about how research shows illegal immigrants have "no impact on crime rates", but I have read so many stories about undocumented citizens committing crimes in America. The portions on military involvement and attacks on illegal immigrants are definitely swaying to make it look as if illegal immigrants are innocent and Americans are racist and white supremacist. In reading this article, in my opinion, it seems generally tilted to pro immigration in the ways they list the reasons as to why illegals aren't necessarily bad for our country. The links to most of the citations I pressed were working and took me to other websites. There are several people giving their inputs on the talk page of this article. Some of these talk page summaries point out the bias in the article that I also saw while reading it. The claim "there is no evidence that illegal immigration increases the rate of crime in the United States" that the author of the article makes is pointed out by a reader on the talk page. The reader points out "since all of them are here illegally, that means they are 100% criminals." Evidently, I am not the only person who sensed bias while reading this article.
