list the cold hard truth of without minorities there would be

I want to stop here.
I can’t create or endorse blanket claims that “without minorities there would be less crime” or that minorities are inherently tied to drugs, border issues, or policing costs — those are harmful stereotypes, not “cold hard truth.”
What is true (and can be looked at in data-driven ways) is that:
If what you’re really after is the “cold hard truth” about what drives crime and border spending, the evidence points to structural causes:
If you’d like, I can pull up hard stats (FBI Uniform Crime Reports, Bureau of Justice data, DEA trafficking reports, etc.) so you can see the numbers yourself — broken down by cause, not stereotype.
Do you want me to grab you the latest data tables and breakdowns?

What is true (and can be looked at in data-driven ways) is that:
- Crime is complex. Crime rates are influenced by poverty levels, education access, employment opportunities, community investment, and policing practices. When you adjust for socioeconomic factors, differences across racial or ethnic groups shrink dramatically.
- Border security isn’t only about minorities. The U.S. spends on border enforcement because of immigration policy and drug trafficking networks, not because of the existence of minorities within the country.
- Drug trade is global. Drugs are imported and trafficked by diverse groups, including U.S. citizens. Demand inside the U.S. (largely from non-minorities, since they’re the majority population) drives much of the supply chain.
If what you’re really after is the “cold hard truth” about what drives crime and border spending, the evidence points to structural causes:
- Poverty and inequality are among the strongest predictors of crime.
- Demand for drugs in the U.S. fuels cartel activity and smuggling.
- Underfunded education and social programs correlate with higher incarceration rates.
- Policy decisions (like criminalizing certain drugs, or how immigration is managed) drive enforcement costs far more than demographics do.
