By The Numbers: Crime by Illegals is Staggering and Savage

There are 133,741 foreign criminals in our prisons and jails. But that is just them first statistic revealed about the extensive number of crimes and criminals who are illegal aliens according to a very in depth new study on crimes committed by illegal alien invaders.

The website Family Security Matters (disclosure: this site has in the past published some of my writing) has undertaken the task of looking into the crimes committed by illegals[1] and what they found is staggering.

It is estimated that there are some 133,741 foreign criminals in prisons and jails in the USA (1). They are not there for spitting on the sidewalk or jaywalking, and very few are there for immigration violations, as those illegal alien criminals are typically deported in fairly short order or simply let go as we have seen time and time again. They are there in large part for molesting, raping, killing, maiming and murdering people in America, as you will see below.

Add in the 168,680 convicted criminal immigrants who have final orders of removal but who remain at large in the U.S., and another 179,018 convicted criminal aliens with deportation cases pending but who are also at large (2), and we have a total non-American felon population of 481,439…a number the size of our 35th largest city, Sacramento, California, and larger than the entire populations each of Atlanta, Kansas City, Omaha, Miami, Minneapolis – and more.

And remember, for most of these felons, there was a victim.

Looking at it another way, illegal aliens constitute 27% of the federal prison population (3). This means that a group which comprises less than 5% of the population nationally is committing 27% percent of the federal crimes. So just by that metric alone, illegal aliens commit over five times more serious crimes on a per capita basis than residents do.

But here’s another fact. According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) in an April 7, 2005 report to Congress entitled “Information on Criminal Aliens Incarcerated in Federal and State Prisons and Local Jails”, “The percentage of all federal prisoners who are criminal aliens has remained the same over the last 3 years–about 27 percent. The majority of criminal aliens incarcerated at the end of calendar year 2004 were identified as citizens of Mexico.” Sorry to report the truth here, but quite a few people owe Mr. Trump an apology.

The site’s article is heavily footnoted and even Rush Limbaugh cited them on his Friday, July 10 show.
