Studies of immigration and crime agree that, like legal immigrants, illegal immigrants to the United States have lower rates of crime than the native-born population.
According to immigration analyst Alex Nowrasteh, Texas is the only state that tracks illegal immigrants by the specific crime committed. The Texas data for 2016 showed that rate of murder convictions in 2016 was 3.2 per 100,000 native-born Americans, 0.9 for every 100,000 legal immigrants and 1.8 per 100,000 illegal immigrants.[1][2]
A great deal of public and political attention has nevertheless been focused on crimes committed by illegal immigrants.[3][4]
Crimes committed by illegal immigrants who had previously been arrested or convicted of crimes have been a focus of particular attention.[4][5] Discussion has been particularly intense when an illegal alien has been arrested for a minor offense and is known to be in the country illegally is released because the jurisdiction where he was arrested is a sanctuary city that limits police cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE,) and goes on to commit a new crime.[4][6]
During the 2016 Republican Party presidential primaries, a political advertisement showing mugshots of illegal immigrants who committed violent crimes in the U.S. alternate with footage of candidate Jeb Bush saying, "Yeah, they broke the law, but it's not a felony.... It's an [[act of love,"[7][8] is regarded as having played a role in Bush's withdrawal form the race.[9]
