Activists’ claims that illegal aliens commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans do may appear convincing, but new data from New York state shows that those here illegally commit crimes at a rate more than three times higher than that of legal residents.
And it’s costing us billions.
It’s true that if you lump all immigrants together, relatively few of them are accused and convicted of crimes committed here in the United States.
Legal immigrants commit crimes at very low rates, so combining their crime data with that of illegal immigrants masks the latter’s higher criminal activity.
Now, fresh data from the Department of Homeland Security offers a fresh look at this question.
As The Post has reported, the department claims that 7,113 of those currently incarcerated in New York state prisons and jails are illegal immigrants.
They’ve been convicted of committing 148 homicides, 717 assaults, 134 burglaries, 106 robberies, 235 dangerous drugs offenses, 152 weapons offenses, and 260 sexual predatory offenses, among other crimes.
What’s more, New York’s failure to honor US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers has resulted in the release of 6,947 criminal illegal aliens since January.
The DHS data gives us a handy metric to calculate relative rates of criminality.
Altogether, roughly 50,803 people are incarcerated in New York’s prison and jail systems: about 32,469 in the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, and another 18,334 in the state’s city and county jails.
The 7,113 illegal aliens currently incarcerated thus make up 14% of New York’s total inmate population — and this share is likely an underestimate, because the state doesn’t actively identify immigration status. --->READ MORE HERE
New York state has released nearly 7,000 known illegal migrant criminals without notifying ICE since President Trump took office — including killers, sexual predators and a maniac booted from the US eight times who attacked an Ithaca cop with a machete, The Post has learned.
The rap sheets behind the rogue’s gallery include 29 homicides, thousands of assaults and hundreds of burglaries, robberies, drug offenses, weapons offenses and sexual predatory offenses, the Department of Homeland Security revealed Monday.
All of them were protected by state and local sanctuary laws that dramatically restrict how local authorities can communicate with ICE, DHS says.
“Virtually all Americans agree that people like this should be swiftly removed from the United States when they leave New York’s custody and not be returned to our streets to wreak havoc on law-abiding citizens,” a demand letter penned by acting ICE Director Todd Lyons sent to the AG’s office Monday.
Set loose on the streets
Some migrant criminals, fortunately, have already been picked up by immigration officers after they were cut loose thanks to sanctuary laws.
Among them are Vyacheslav Danilovich Kim — who was busted for traveling to have sex with a girl whom he believed was 13 years old.
The sicko was convicted in Albany County and sentenced to time served. He was released on probation in February 2023 after probation officers refused to help ICE detain him, according to DHS. He has since been detained and deported.
Steven Daniel Henriquez Galicia, 25, a Dominican national who entered the US illegally in 2016, was arrested in the Bronx last year for attempted murder after he allegedly opened fire outside an apartment building. A judge let him go on cashless bail — despite the Bronx District Attorney asking for hold him on $300,000 bond. He was nabbed by ICE on Sept. 20.
Anderson Smith Satuye Martinez, 21, a Crips gang member and Honduran national with a prior assault conviction, was busted Aug. 19 for criminal possession of a weapon and possession of a controlled substance. Despite an ICE detainer lodged against him, he was also released on cashless bail. ICE picked him up on Sept. 11 in the Bronx. --->READ MORE HERE
