Key Findings on Crime and Immigration (Last 50 Years)Lower Crime Rates Among
Immigrants: Immigrants are, on average, less likely to commit crimes or be incarcerated than native-born citizens.Long-Term Trends: Between 1980 and 2022, the immigrant share of the U.S. population more than doubled (from 6.2% to 13.9%), while the total crime rate dropped by over 60%.Undocumented Immigrants: Research indicates that undocumented immigrants have lower crime rates and lower incarceration rates than native-born citizens. A study of Texas data showed that native-born citizens are over twice as likely to be arrested for violent crimes and four times more likely to be arrested for property crimes compared to undocumented immigrants.Incarceration Data: A 2024 study covering 1870-2020 found that in the last 60 years, immigrants have been 50-60% less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born citizens.
"Immigration Effect": Many studies have found that higher concentrations of immigrants in communities are associated with lower crime rates, particularly regarding homicide. Summary
The perception that immigration increases crime is not supported by empirical data. Studies across four decades of crime and immigration data show that immigration does not lead to higher crime rates. While some immigrants are convicted of crimes, as a group, they are less involved in crime than native-born Americans.

cbear : That's true. Those women were killed by illegal immigrants. Are you aware 9 out of 10 murder victims on average are women. The majority are killed by someone they know like a spouse or family member.
Key Findings on Female Homicides (2014-2024)
Rising Numbers: The number of women murdered in the U.S. has been rising, increasing from 1,691 in 2014 to 2,997 in 2019.
Firearms: Firearms are the primary weapon used in these murders, with gun-related intimate partner homicides of women increasing by 36% over the 10-year period from 2014 to 2023.
Relationship to Killer: Over the past 25 years, 92% of female murder victims knew their killers.
Case Studies: While specific high-profile cases of women murdered by undocumented immigrants (e.g., Laken Riley, Mollie Tibbetts, Jocelyn Nungaray) are heavily publicized, these represent individual incidents, not a comprehensive, total count.
General Crime Trends: Research consistently indicates that undocumented immigrants are not more likely to commit violent crimes than native-born citizens.

An Iraq War veteran who earned a Purple Heart says he ended up on the ground in handcuffs and in a federal holding cell for eight hours simply because he was standing nearby and watching an ICE arrest.William Vermie says he wasn't protesting or interfering. He was on a public sidewalk, observing as agents detained two people. According to him, the situation escalated when officers started forcing everyone back."They were bringing out those two young boys, and then the agents started moving down the sidewalk, shoving people and telling them to get off," Vermie explained. "I didn't move fast enough, and they shoved me."Within moments, he says, he was being cuffed. He tried to keep his balance, but someone grabbed his leg, and he went down. Several officers piled on top of him before putting him in restraints.From there, he was taken to the Whipple federal building and held for eight hours. During that time, he says he was never given access to a lawyer, despite asking for one."They gave me water and bathroom breaks. I even got a Band-Aid when I asked for it," Vermie said. "But when you're being detained, a lawyer matters a lot more than a Band-Aid."His family hired attorney John Chitwood, who went to the building and waited for hours. Chitwood says he was told he couldn't see his client because Vermie had not requested him by name something Vermie had no way of doing because he hadn't been allowed to contact anyone.Chitwood, who has represented people accused of serious violent crimes, said he had never seen this kind of deliberate obstruction."This is a combat-wounded veteran who served his country honorably," Chitwood said. "If this is how the federal government treats someone like him, how are they treating everyone else? It's shameful. It's un-American."That's the part that's hard to ignore. This wasn't an undocumented immigrant, a suspect, or someone accused of anything at all. This was a bystander and a decorated veteran who says he was shoved, tackled, detained, and cut off from legal counsel for simply being in the wrong place.For an agency that often wraps itself in the language of patriotism, this incident raises an uncomfortable question. If this is how they treat a Purple Heart recipient in broad daylight, what happens to people who don't have a uniform, a medal, or a lawyer waiting outside?At some point, it stops looking like law enforcement and starts looking like power being exercised for its own sake.
