Today’s Entry: Submitted via talkback... Hey Brian, I listen to you and Joel every morning. Thanks for filling in for Clay and Buck. Mega dittos. Where do you find the information that illegals are more likely to commit crimes than US citizens?
Bottom Line: While guest hosting for the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show last Thursday, I had this to say related to this topic...
Attempted border crossings are down 93%, access into the United States is down by 99%. The CBP One Home app that was used by the Biden administration to fly nearly 1 million illegal immigrants into the United States is now being used to fly illegal immigrants out of the United States. On that note, ICE’s daily detentions are up 53% over a year ago. And surprise, surprise as detentions rise, crime is falling. Homicides are down by 21% so far this year, robberies are too, property crime is 16% lower and violent crime in general is down by 11% too. The biggest impact? Often the biggest cities with the biggest illegal immigration populations like Denver and Auroa Colorado. This is of absolutely no surprise as the non-citizen crime rate last year accounted for 24% of all drug trafficking, 25% of all property crimes, 28% of all fraud among other things, and non-citizens crime rates had become 914% higher than the average legal citizen. In fact, during the four years of the Biden administration total crimes committed by non-citizens rose by 626%.
So, in addressing today’s question regarding where it was that I was able to derive those statistics? Customs and Border Patrol keeps records of what they call “Criminal Noncitizen Statistics”. As explained by CBP: The term “criminal noncitizens” refers to individuals who have been convicted of one or more crimes, whether in the United States or abroad, prior to interdiction by the U.S. Border Patrol; it does not include convictions for conduct that is not deemed criminal by the United States. Records checks of available law enforcement databases following the apprehension of an individual may reveal a history of criminal conviction(s). That conviction information is recorded in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection database, from which the data is derived.
This is the source for all related information I’ve shared over the prior four years. Notably, as I reported last year, this happened...
Increase in crime by noncitizens under Biden administration:
- Sexual Offenses: 182%
- Illegal Drug Possession, Trafficking: 532%
- Assault, Battery, Domestic Violence: 602%
- Burglary, Robbery, Larceny, Theft, Fraud: 604%
- Illegal Weapons Possession, Transport, Trafficking: 627%
- DUI: 685%
- Illegal Entry, Reentry: 697%
- Homicide, Manslaughter: 967%
- All Other Offenses: 567%
It was crystal clear that the Biden administration's open border policies dramatically increased all types of crime in society. There’s also no indication of any progress being made in reversing the enormous increases in criminal activity by noncitizens once in the United States. As always there are two sides to stories and one side to facts. It’s a fact that President Biden’s policies made this country considerably less safe.
Related, as we’ve seen, the early efforts by the Trump administration to effectively end illegal immigration into this country while targeting criminal illegal immigrants for detention and deportation has already had a profound effect with every indication that we’ll only see greater improvement in time. Especially with the passage of the BBB which provides President Trump with the resources he needs to carry out his detention and deportation agenda. One that will now only be slowed by the courts, not a lack of resources.
