About
That Statistic Of “Immigrants” Committing Fewer Crimes Than Citizens
JAZZ
SHAW
How
many times have you heard the carefully worded claims from media “experts”
about how immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than citizens? If you
follow the news at all closely I’m guessing it’s been fairly often. Of course,
the careful wording is required so they don’t have to invoke the phrase
“illegal immigrants” (i.e. illegal aliens) and ruin their narrative.
Nearly
3 percent of illegal immigrants in Arizona end up in state prison or jail
during the course of a year — four times the rate of U.S. citizens and legal
residents, according to a study that uses federal reimbursements for prisons
and jails to try to calculate one of the most important yet elusive statistics
in the immigration debate.
In
New Jersey, illegal immigrants are incarcerated five times more often, and
rates on the West Coast are triple that of legal residents and citizens,
according to the study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
FAIR based its calculations on
federal government reimbursements to states and localities under the State
Criminal Alien Assistance Program, which pays some of the costs for holding
illegal immigrants in prisons and jails. To make the payments, the federal
government must determine whether an inmate is definitely or possibly in the
country illegally.
One
important feature of this study is that it’s only looking at people who have
definitely been convicted of a crime, not simply arrested or suspected. Also,
as I noted above, this study draws a distinction between legal immigrants (who
arguably have the lowest rate of criminal convictions) and illegal aliens.
A previous Arizona study done by John Lott found the
same thing, though with a smaller population sample.
It’s
worth noting that this methodology has drawn criticism. The SCAAP data measures
a different set of prisoners than other samples, leading some critics to
question whether the results would be the same if we looked at the entire
prison and jail population. I’ll leave that one for the statisticians to sort
out, but overall trends still appear to conform with previous attempts at
quantifying these numbers.
So
what does that mean in terms of the current policy debate over illegal
immigration, the wall and all the rest? Our friend Jeff Dunetz weighed in on that question and concludes that
significantly reducing illegal immigration could only produce lower crime
rates.
The above crime numbers and rates
for illegal immigrants reflect offenses that would not have happened, or at the
very least would be significantly reduced if the U.S borders were secured and
illegal immigrants were not permitted into the country. Border Protection
agents and Ice officials, the people on the ground, tell us that barriers work.
The victims of those 121,984 crimes can thank liberals and Democrats for not taking
action to prevent their victimhood.
Yet
again, we should remind ourselves that these numbers fail to deal with the
underlying fact that every illegal alien is committing a crime simply by being
in the country. In that sense, the crime rate among illegals is technically
100% before you even begin counting other violations of the law. But that sort
of view is considered heresy on the left and in much of the media these days.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND CRIME
The stunning numbers the Left cannot refute.
January 3, 2018
On December 21, 2017 the Department of Justice issued a press
release ,
“Departments of Justice and Homeland Security Release Data on Incarcerated
Aliens—94 Percent of All Confirmed Aliens in DOJ Custody Are Unlawfully
Present.”
The initial statistic cited in the title of that DOJ press
release shows that there is a truly significant distinction to be drawn between
aliens who are lawfully present in the United States and aliens who are illegally
present in the United States, either because they have entered the United
States illegally or they have violated the terms of admission after
entering the United States via the inspections procedure at ports of entry.
The press release begins with the following statement:
President Trump’s Executive
Order on Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States requires the Department of Justice
(DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect relevant data
and provide quarterly reports on data collection efforts. On Dec. 18, 2017, DOJ
and DHS released the FY 2017 4th Quarter Alien
Incarceration Report , complying with this order. The report found that more
than one-in-five of all persons in Bureau of Prisons custody were foreign born,
and that 94 percent of confirmed aliens in custody were unlawfully present.
Although immigration anarchists have consistently manipulated
language, engaged in tactics of bullying and intimidation and, when all else
failed, flat-out lied about every aspect of immigration, the Trump
administration is providing the truth.
The DOJ press release, upon which my commentary today is based,
lays out the cold, hard and unequivocal facts. It is significant to note
that the title of the press release included the phrase, “confirmed aliens in
DOJ custody” because all too frequently aliens who face deportation make false
claims to United States citizenship to avoid being deported. Therefore there may
even be more deportable aliens in federal custody, while the actual number of
such aliens in local and state custody are unknown and unknowable particularly
in Sanctuary Cities and Sanctuary States .
Here is an excerpt from the press release that provides some quick
statistics and a paragraph that addresses the lack of information about aliens
in city and state facilities.
A total of 58,766 known or suspected
aliens were in DOJ custody at the end of FY 2017, including 39,455 persons in
BOP custody and 19,311 in USMS custody. Of this total, 37,557 people had been
confirmed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be aliens (i.e.,
non-citizens and non-nationals), while 21,209 foreign-born people were still
under investigation by ICE to determine alienage and/or removability.
Among the 37,557 confirmed aliens,
35,334 people (94 percent) were unlawfully present. These numbers include a 92
percent unlawful rate among 24,476 confirmed aliens in BOP custody and a 97
percent unlawful rate among 13,081 confirmed aliens in USMS custody
This report does not include data on the
foreign-born or alien populations in state prisons and local jails because
state and local facilities do not routinely provide DHS or DOJ with
comprehensive information about their inmates and detainees—which account for
approximately 90 percent of the total U.S. incarcerated population.
For decades, the truth has been carefully kept from Americans by
globalist politicians from both political parties. They have been far
more concerned about doing the bidding of the globalist special interest groups
that fund their campaigns, than they have been about the threats that open
borders and immigration anarchy pose to public safety and national security.
On April 19, 2016, towards the end of the Obama administration,
the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security conducted a hearing on the topic, “The Real Victims of a
Reckless and Lawless Immigration Policy: Families and Survivors Speak Out on
the Real Cost of This Administration’s Policies.”
I wrote about that hearing in an article which also included links to
statements made by Rep. Trey Gowdy, the Chairman of the subcommittee, who
opened the hearing with his statement that set the tone for what would
follow. Breitbart.com used one of Rep. Gowdy's statements as the title for
their article , “Trey Gowdy: More Illegal
Immigrants Convicted of Crimes At Large in the U.S. Than The Population of
Pittsburgh.”
At that same hearing Congressman Lamar Smith noted that although
it has been estimated that illegal aliens account for about 3% of the U.S.
population, they account for 30% of all murders -- making illegal aliens 10
times more likely to commit murder than anyone else. Adding that huge
number of at-large criminal aliens to the huge number of criminal aliens who
are incarcerated in prisons provides a measure of the true scope of the
immigration crisis that can only be solved by ramping up efforts and resources
to secure our nation’s borders and enforce our nation’s immigration laws from
within the interior of the United States.
Beginning with Carter’s administration, the globalist immigration
anarchists have embarked on a campaign of deceit. Their goal was to erase
America’s borders and flood America with a virtually unlimited supply of cheap
and exploitable workers, an unlimited supply of foreign tourists and foreign
students and ultimately new voters who would be indebted to the politicians who
made their presence in the United States possible.
To further obfuscate the truth, Carter demanded that all INS
employees substitute the term “immigrant” for the term “alien” even though the
term alien is an integral part of the immigration laws of the United States and
is defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act simply as “Any person, not a
citizen or national of the United States. Under his campaign of deceit,
illegal aliens were be referred to as “undocumented immigrants” as though
all that these illegal aliens lacked was a piece of paper. The truth is
that aliens who run our borders are not undocumented, they are un-inspected.
Here is a bit of clarity: the difference between an illegal
alien and an immigrant is compared to the difference between a burglar and a
houseguest.
Today so-called sanctuary cities betray America, Americans and immigrants and pose a clear and immediate
danger to public safety and national security as their leaders resort to
similar Orwellian propaganda to justify their dangerous illegal
policies. Those cities should be referred to as “magnet cities” because
they attract transnational criminals, fugitives and terrorists and flood the
labor market with illegal aliens who displace American and lawful immigrant
workers and undermine wages and working conditions.
This past year Congress conducted hearings about America’s gang crisis,
particularly MS-13, once again disclosing the deadly impact of failures of
immigration law enforcement.
Today immigration anarchists continue to tell lies. They say
that if local police were to work in coordination with immigration law
enforcement authorities that illegal alien victims of crime would be fearful of
coming forward to report crimes committed against them.
In reality, visas are available for illegal alien crime victims
that would enable them to remain in the U.S. if they cooperate with police in
identifying the criminals. Other visas are also available for illegal
aliens who, although not the victims of crimes, nevertheless provide actionable
intelligence to law enforcement to combat criminals and terrorists and the
organizations to which they may belong.
Throughout my career with the INS one of my key areas of
responsibility was to use my authority as an INS agent to cultivate informants
and cooperating witnesses within ethnic immigrant communities to assist in
criminal investigations on the local, state and federal levels.
This was particularly true when I was assigned as the first INS
representative to the Unified Intelligence Division of the DEA (Drug
Enforcement Administration) and subsequently promoted and assigned, as a Senior
Special Agent, to the Organized Crime, Drug Enforcement Task Force.
Indeed, this was one of the critical elements of my annual
evaluation.
If advocates for Sanctuary Cities were truly concerned about
“immigrants” why in the world aren’t they providing information about the visas
that are available to illegal aliens who cooperate with law enforcement
authorities? The answer is self-evident- they don’t care about the
immigrants, only about promoting their false narrative.
Another deceitful claim is that through implementation of
“Comprehensive Immigration Reform” our authorities would be able to get all of
the illegal aliens “out of the shadows” so we would finally know who is here.
In reality, terrorists might avail themselves of the opportunity
to acquire new identities if their biometrics were not on file while those
alien criminals fugitives and terrorist aliens who know that their biometrics
are likely on file, would simply remain in the shadows.
CBP (Customs and Border Protection) has more than 60,000
employees, including inspectors at ports of entry and Border Patrol
agents. If, as immigration anarchists claim, it does not matter how
aliens enter the United States, why do we need to continue to fund CBP?
The answer, of course, is self-evident.
President Trump understands the truth and is acting
appropriately. All rational Americans should be appreciative and
supportive of his efforts to protect America and Americans.
Audit looks at migrant re-arrests
(UNFORTUNATELY THESE STATS ARE HIGHLY
DATED)
McClatchy Newspapers
Jan. 9, 2007
WASHINGTON - Some illegal immigrants are being
released from prison only to be arrested on new charges despite government
efforts to deport them and keep them out of the country.
The findings are part of an audit by Justice
Department Inspector General Glenn Fine that suggest authorities are still
struggling to deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes, even though most
state and local authorities are notifying immigration authorities of the
imminent release of prisoners.
Fine's office analyzed the cases of 100 immigrants
who had served time in prison and found 73 of them were rearrested after being
released.
On average, each immigrant was rearrested six
times, ranging from traffic violations to assault.
Fine's office couldn't determine how many illegal
immigrants had been rearrested overall because immigration authorities don't
keep track.
If the sample was any indication, "The rate at
which released criminal aliens are rearrested is extremely high," the
report said.
Last year, Homeland Security's inspector general
said immigration authorities expected that most of the 300,000 illegal and
legal immigrants eligible to be deported would be released.
Federal officials said they would need 34,000
additional beds at a cost of $1.1 billion to detain and remove all of them.

Some
Illegal Immigrants Have Been Arrested and Re-Arrested 6 Times
Some Illegal Immigrants have been arrested and
Re-Arrested 6 Times - Illegal Immigrants arrested for being in the United
States illegally may have been charged up to six more times, for more serious
crimes, after they were released by local authorities. Additionally, the number
of illegal immigrants deported after being declared a felon is on the rise.
The Justice findings by department Inspector
General Glenn A. Fine examined the criminal histories of 100 illegal immigrants
arrested and then released by local and state authorities in 2004, the latest
complete data available. Of the sample group of 100, according to the audit, 73
immigrants were later arrested a collective 429 times - on charges ranging from
traffic tickets to weapons and drug charges.
The data suggest "the rate at which released
criminal aliens are re-arrested is extremely high," the audit noted. The
report, parts of which were redacted, was required by Congress in 2005 and
looked at how local and state authorities that receive Justice Department
funding are working with the Homeland Security Department.
For years, the government was forced to release
thousands of illegal immigrants who were caught in the United States because of
not enough jail space and other resources. But last fall, with immigration as a
key election-year priority, Homeland Security declared it would detain 99
percent of non-Mexican illegal immigrants until they could be returned to their
home nations. The policy generally does not apply to Mexicans, who are almost
immediately returned to Mexico after being stopped by Border Patrol agents.
The Justice audit, however, only looked at
immigrants who were arrested and released by local and state authorities before
they could be turned over to Homeland Security to be detained or deported. In
all, 752 cities, counties and states participating in the program received $287
million in 2005, the audit noted.
Five states - California, New York, Texas, Florida
and Arizona - received the bulk of the money, together pulling in more than
$184 million.
Assistant Attorney General Regina B. Schofield, who
oversees the Office of Justice Programs that controlled the funding, declined
comment on the audit, noting that it does not contain any recommendations.
A separate report by the Transactional Records
Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University showed that the number of
immigrants who were deported as "aggravated felons" doubled over the
last 15 years, from 10,303 in 1992 to an estimated 23,065 in 2006.
But TRAC, which obtained the data from the Justice
Department's Executive Office of Immigration Review, noted concerns that some
of those immigrants never committed felonies.
"An individual can be declared an aggravated
felon on the basis of a conviction on misdemeanor charges such as
shoplifting," the TRAC report concluded.
What would the May 1, 2006, illegal immigration
boycott look like without illegal immigration?
The lives of 12 U.S. citizens would be saved who
otherwise would die a violent death at the hands of murderous illegal aliens
each day.
Another 13 Americans would survive who are
otherwise killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals.
There would be no one to smuggle across our
southern border the heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines, which
plague the United States, reducing the U.S. supply of methamphetamines that
day, by 80%.
Our hospital emergency rooms would not be flooded
with everything from gunshot wounds, to anchor babies, to imported diseases, to
hangnails, giving American citizens the day off from standing in line behind
illegals.
Eight American children would not suffer the horror
as victims of sex crimes.

an average of four victims each. She analyzed 1,500 cases from January 1999
through April 2006 that included serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides
and child molestation committed by illegal immigrants.'
FBI DIRECTOR: GANGS 2006
"The violent MS-13 - or Mara Salvatrucha - street gang is following the
migratory routes of illegal aliens across the country, FBI officials say,
calling the Salvadoran gang the new American mafia. MS-13, has a significant
presence in the Washington area, and other gangs are spreading into small towns
and suburbs by following illegal aliens seeking work in places such as
Providence, R.I., and the Carolinas, FBI task force director Robert Clifford
said.
"The migrant moves and the gang follows," said Mr. Clifford,
director of the agency's MS-13 National Gang Task Force."

Nine people were arrested in raids targeting 75 locations, and $90 million
