THIS SENTENCE IS AMBIGOUS: "Elected president in 1868, the youngest man in the office to that date, Grant stabilized the post-war national economy, created the Department of Justice, used the military to enforce laws in the former Confederacy and prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan."
Ulysses S. Grant did not "enforce laws in the former Confederacy" Conversely Grant lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War.
REQUEST CHANGE: "Elected president in 1868, the youngest man in the office to that date, Grant stabilized the post-war national economy, created the Department of Justice, used the military to enforce laws to put an end to the Confederacy, and he prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan."

Following sources
Misplaced Pages's criterion for how we should report a topic is how it is described in reliable mainstream published sources, not how you or I or any other Misplaced Pages editor personally thinks it should be covered. It is not right for an editor to remove sources from an article because he or she personally thinks that what they say is not what should be said.

Edit-warring on Immigration
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Snooganssnoogans is not citing sources and is publishing inflamed content. A footnote is not a citation.
How to resolve this?
REQUIRES CITATION: "but finds for the United States that immigration either has no impact on the crime rate or that it reduces the crime rate."
It is not neutral to say that immigration has no impact on crime, I therefor would like to add the following:
"New government data indicate that immigrants have high rates of criminality, while older academic research found low rates." "The newer information available as a result of better screening of the incarcerated population suggests that, in many parts of the country, immigrants are responsible for a significant share of crime."
