For example, if your country has a 10% crime rate. Meaning 10% of the population will commit a crime at some point. Due to worker immigration the country gains 20% more people. The it is expected that of those workers about 10% will commit a crime. Thus increasing the total amount of crimes committed in the country but the crime rate is still at 10%.
Now misrepresenting would be to cry out that the workers are bad because the amount of crime has gone up.
Or misrepresenting data.
