      Because words have meaning and omitting words to mislead shows bad faith on Ann’s part. While illegal immigrants having a 30% higher crime rate per 100k is bad, saying “illegal immigrants commit 30% more murders” is misleading. It implies that of the total number of murders, illegal immigrants commit 30% more than citizens.
