Optimization comes for us all :) I also have caught myself repeatedly skimming and scanning for that one salient point, feeling like "ain't nobody got time for all that verbiage".

Too much info, too little time, so gotta optimize.

TFA's TL;DR is midway through the abstract (which is itself the old school TL;DR):

> Relative to undocumented immigrants, US-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes, and over 4 times more likely to be arrested for property crimes.

Which is sort of understandable, the undocumented immigrant may feel under constant watch or even persecuted and self-police their behavior.

Anecdotally, I've encountered this in academic contexts, where foreign students were way more apprehensive and careful, while native ones quite loose with their behaviors.
