Almost 100% of crimes that are committed by illegal aliens are preventable. Full stop.

What you wrote: "they account for *JUST* 5 percent of all homicide convictions" tells everything we need to know about your view of "us" - the only acceptable number for homicide convictions by illegal immigrants is 0% or something close to it. You can take your "explanation" of statistics for the plebes and, frankly, shove it where sun doesn't shine.

Or more devious - as we have 300 million people in the USA and it is said the illegal population is 11 million or so, then the illegals are 11 million divided by 311 million or 3.5 % of the population. If this the case, then 3.5% of the population committing 5% of the homicide convictions make this a very dangerous segment of the population.

“From 2013-2022, there were 472 convictions of illegal immigrants for homicide in Texas out of a total of almost 8,000 total homicide convictions.” I’d like you to present this argument to the 472 families impacted by these murderers. Make sure you cite lots of statistics to them.

This is 5.9 % of the homicides committed in Texas. Yet we are told the number of illegals as a percentage of the population is less than this percent, making this group very dangerous;

Every American who is raped, and the family and friends of people killed by an illegal immigrant should hold people like you accountable.

Thanks Alex, sorry to see so many negative about this article from our fellow "Migrants" to the United States. The vast majority of Americans are descended from Migrants, some legal, some not. Also Data overwhelmingly shows that recent Immigrants, documented or not, are LESS likely to commit crimes than US Citizens.

Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for the facts that so many people deny.

So what? The modern state of Israel was founded by migrants. Does that mean they have to let in Palestinians?

"The third untrue claim is that these 13,099 migrants convicted of homicide committed their crimes recently. Those migrant criminal convictions go back over 40 years or more."

This is supposed to make us feel better? We are clearly drawing from the left side distribution, including old ex-cons sent north to go be someone else's problem.

There is one undeniable fact: the number of people killed by illegal aliens increased during the Biden Administration and failed border policies. The truth is that the number of homicides connected to illegal aliens increased from 2021-2024, as did assault & battery, Burglary, Robbery, Larceny, Theft, Fraud, Driving Under the Influence, Illegal Drug Possession, Trafficking, Illegal Weapons Possession, Transport, Trafficking, and Sexual Offenses.

The argument of this piece is a false equivalency. It tries to compare homicides committed by illegal aliens (something very difficult to do) to homicides committed by U.S. Citizens, much easier to do. In addition, an illegal alien criminal has to be associated with a country of origin and that may take years to reconcile and then list it as a statistic.

Here are some hard facts from U.S. Custom and Border Protections that only looks at a small sliver. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics/criminal-alien-statistics

Homicides from illegal aliens increased

1,900% in 2021 compared to 2020

1,967% in 2022 compared to 2020

1,350% in 2023 compared to 2020

1,350% in 2024 compared to 2020

Excellent article. Any data on how many there are of the non-detained migrants who served their sentences and were released from prison because they are from countries without a repatriation agreement?

Your link illustrating the "free to roam" claim says:

"The document doesn’t make clear how many of the murderers are currently incarcerated in federal, state and local facilities or how many of them are no longer in custody."

It seems like it says the same thing you do.
