DESPITE WHAT MISINFORMATION FOX-NEWS REPORTS BRAINWASHING YOU INTO THINKING THE VAST MAJORITY OF CRIMES COMMITTED ARE BY UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS THE TRUTH IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE
Research based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and state-level records indicates that U.S.-born citizens commit more crimes by percentage—and have higher incarceration rates—than undocumented immigrants.

Key Findings on Crime Rates
[LIST]
[*]Lower Incarceration Rates: Undocumented immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated than native-born citizens. A 2024 analysis showed that native-born Americans were incarcerated at a rate of 1,195 per 100,000, while illegal immigrants were incarcerated at a rate of 674 per 100,000.
[*]Lower Conviction Rates: Research on Texas Department of Public Safety data (one of the few states that records immigration status) has consistently shown that undocumented immigrants have lower conviction rates and are less likely to be convicted of crimes than native-born Americans.
[*]Violent Crime: Studies found that native-born citizens are over 2 times more likely to be arrested for violent crimes, 2.5 times more likely for drug crimes, and 4 times more likely for property crimes than undocumented immigrants.
[*]Long-Term Trends: This trend has been consistent for decades, with research showing immigrants have had lower incarceration rates than the U.S.-born population for over 150 years.

Data Nuances and Context
[LIST]
[*]Data Limitations: Criminality and immigration status are difficult to measure nationally, as most jurisdictions do not record the immigration status of those arrested, leading to a reliance on estimates and data from specific states like Texas, Georgia, and Oklahoma.
[*]Exceptions: While the overall criminality is lower, some studies suggest that increased immigration enforcement and deportation programs have not significantly reduced overall crime rates.

While some reports, particularly those utilizing specific state-level data such as in Arizona, have argued that illegal aliens are incarcerated at a higher rate than citizens due to factors like drug smuggling, the consensus among peer-reviewed research and major policy studies, including those analyzing national ACS data, is that U.S.-born citizens commit crimes at a higher rate.
