Mexican Invasion Title: New Data on Migrant Crime Rates Raises Eyebrows, Alarms New Data on Migrant Crime Rates Raises Eyebrows, Alarms John R Lott Jr. October 02, 2024 John R Lott Jr. The new data on all the criminal noncitizens coming into the U.S. is shocking. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement checks the background of illegal aliens it has in custody. But the ICE administration’s letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, shows that as of July 21, ICE let 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 people with pending criminal charges back in their home countries into the U.S. Of those cleared by ICE, 13,099 have convictions for homicide, and 1,845 were facing criminal charges. Some 9,461 have convictions for sex offenses (not including assault or commercialized sex), and 2,659 face pending charges. The convictions include other crimes, such as assault (62,231), robbery (10,031), sexual assault (15,811), weapons offenses (13,423), and dangerous drugs (56,533). The Daily Signal depends on the support of readers like you. Donate now About 7.4 million noncitizens are in the “national docket data,” so 662,776 is 9% of the total, and if one extrapolates the numbers to the homicide rate in this country, it strongly indicates that the government is letting migrants into this country who commit murder at a rate 50% higher than the rest of the U.S. population. And these numbers clearly underestimate the crime rate of these noncitizens. The noncitizens in the “national docket data” turned themselves in to border agents for processing or were caught. Those who don’t turn themselves in are obviously far more likely to have something to hide from those doing the processing, so-called gotaways, who are observed illegally entering the U.S., but not caught or turned back. These figures coincide with other data from the Arizona prison system and show illegal aliens commit crime at much higher rates than Americans or legal immigrants. Under the “Remain in Mexico” policy, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did background checks on immigrants’ cases, including contacting the country that the immigrant is from before they are approved to come to the U.S. ICE agents cannot access the same databases to check on the immigrants, and they don’t contact the immigrant’s home country. Plus, the massive inflow of immigrants has overwhelmed the system. The deputy director for ICE blames the “enormous workload” agents face, so they haven’t been able to do even the limited background checks they are doing. There are so many coming in that the government can’t house these immigrants until their backgrounds are properly checked. ICE processed these criminals as they entered the country, but it didn’t identify them as criminals, so it released them into the country. Now, they are just walking around freely in the United States, and no one knows where they are. It took more than six months for the Biden administration to finally respond to a congressional request for these numbers. The deputy director for ICE “apologized” for the delay. As bad as these numbers are, the reality may be even worse. The Biden- Harris administration is cooking the books to make the border crisis not look as bad as it is. For example, in mid-September, retired San Diego Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke testified how the Biden- Harris administration ordered him not to publicize the arrests of illegal border crossers identified as having ties to terrorism. Democrats quickly pointed out that some of these criminals came in before the Biden administration. But the administration’s letter to Gonzales, the Texas congressman, didn’t provide a breakdown of how many came through under Biden-Harris. The administration policy, with its limited background checks and overwhelmed agents, has a much higher error rate compared with Trump’s Remain in Mexico approach. Background checks are ineffective if officials don’t even contact the immigrant’s home country. Even if illegal immigrants weren’t committing crimes at higher rates than the general population, the American people have a right to expect those entering this country to be screened in order to prevent more murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and thieves from entering the country. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have the authority to call for expedited extradition for criminal illegal aliens in the U.S., but they have only moved to make extradition more difficult.
