I get questions almost daily from readers who would like statistics on immigrant criminals, specifically they want data on crimes committed by refugees, asylum seekers, unaccompanied alien children, other legals and illegals. As far as I know, no such data is available to the public and I doubt it is being maintained by law enforcement either.
Only in extreme cases, like the murder of that poor Muslim girl in Virginia will anyone report immigration status and in that case, although local media reported the alleged killer’s status, most mainstream media did not. Look, even the Washington Post (motto ‘Democracy dies in darkness’, no joke!) in this article called the alleged killer a “construction worker” without mentioning his illegal presence in the country.
So, although the media might name the perps, you are left to guess by their names how they might be here. Rarely ever do you hear about their immigration status.
This could be a great area for reform! The Trump Administration could go on the offense and send some legislative proposals to the Hill—require immigration status in arrest reports available to the public!
Let’s find out which avenues (legal and illegal) are available for criminals to enter the US.
What got me thinking about this today is this article from last month about convenience store fraud arrests.
Here is the story (’35 St. Louis-area convenience store owners indicted following federal raids‘) (hat tip: Judy) and here (below) are the names of those indicted.
Wouldn’t you love to know which of our immigration programs ‘welcomed’ them to America! If we knew which programs were responsible for the most crooks and criminals maybe we could eliminate that method of entry to the US!
