I can tell from your skepticism that data will not change your mind
Thanks for sharing, I will give it a try. The article could be better written though, for example, the key findings by Adamson lack reference but I will try to look it up. Also there are parts that need more time to think through like this graph
I just don’t see where this 3.6% increase in the rate comes from. The reference gives some nonsense data table at this point. Moreover, as always, this would be still a correlation analysis-these are tricky.

Yup. I haven't read it, but just from what you showed it's got the signs of the classic ice cream causes people to drown argument.

Who doesn’t love ice cream except for dieters?

Presumably the people who drown are less enthused, but admittedly I'm guessing.

Who is drowning in the context of immigration?

Are you comparing immigrants to ice cream? Bad metaphor
