And the fact that many of these 2nd/3rd-generation immigrants commit different types of crimes than native-born people, though at overall the same levels, justifies whatever shit you're trying to justify how, exactly? And what even are you trying to justify, anyway?
Also, the reason whites tend to be less likely to join gangs than ethnic minorities tends to be because they grew out of attempts to preserve some sort of order in their neighborhoods because the larger government didn't bother to, which is why the few white groups that tend to join gangs (except they're usually called The Mob) are groups like Italians and Irish, who didn't really get a lot of support from the larger society (at least early on when they formed). You want to slow the growth of gangs? I'll tell you how you don't get that done: by repressing the minorities most likely to join gangs. You just destroy any incentive of them to actually assimilate and NOT commit crimes.
