A new report based on U.S. Department of Justice data has revealed alarming statistics about illegal migrants living freely in the country. The report, authored by Dr. John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center, shows that crimes committed by these individuals cost taxpayers over $166 billion and occur at rates far higher than those seen among the U.S. population.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) disclosed in a letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) that as of mid-2024, 662,566 illegal migrants with criminal histories are on the Non-Detained Docket (NDD). This designation allows these individuals to live freely in the U.S. while their cases are processed.

But, Democrats told us time and again that the crime rate for illegal aliens was much LOWER than for citizens!
Did the Democrats -gasp!- all lie repeatedly? https://t.co/sJknBNUpFM

Among those on the docket, more than 65% — totaling 435,719 individuals — have prior criminal convictions in their home countries. Another 226,847 have pending criminal charges, according to Lott’s analysis of government data.
We need this now. They keep quoting statistics about migrant crime rate but what they don't seem to understand is that 1 murder by an illegal migrant is 100% avoidable as they are here illegally! https://t.co/znzLmm0jJI

FBI crime statistics reveal that in 2023, the homicide rate among those on the NDD was 13 times higher than the national average. Of the crimes committed, 14,944 — 2.25% of the total — were homicides, while sexual assaults numbered 20,061. Assaults totaled 105,146, traffic offenses reached 126,343, and burglaries, larcenies, and robberies combined for 60,268 incidents.

The financial burden of these crimes is staggering. Lott’s report estimates the total cost at $166.5 billion, with $153.8 billion attributed to homicides alone. He noted that this figure likely underestimates the true cost, as it assumes each offender commits only one crime similar to their prior offenses.

Lott emphasized that the calculations do not account for half of the criminal illegal aliens currently in the U.S., suggesting the actual financial and societal impact may be even greater.
