Unveiling The Hidden Truth About Illegal Aliens And Crime

The Democrats have done their best to hide the data, but it is possible to use available information to extrapolate just how bad illegal alien crime is.
Every day, all over America, illegal aliens, legal immigrants, and naturalized Americans from a rogue’s list of countries to our South and from the Middle East kill, rape, rob, and defraud us, almost with impunity. Yet, if you try to prove it by citing reliable government statistics, you can’t. The left works hard—it may be its most important job—to ensure you can’t find out exactly how bad things really are across America.
The bottom line: almost no states or the federal government track crimes using reliable indicators of someone’s country of origin, immigration status, or citizenship status. To the extent that states do, information is spotty and irregular. Only one state, Texas, keeps comprehensive records...only one! (Thank you, Governor Abbott!)
And, if you guessed that blue states not only don’t collect such data, but have created laws to ensure that information is not collected, you would be correct. Several Democrat-led states and localities have laws or official policies that restrict asking for, collecting, or sharing immigration or national-origin information for most public, state, and local government purposes. Notable examples include California’s SB 54 (the California Values Act), New Jersey’s Immigrant Trust/Privacy Protection laws, and statewide/local guidance in New York; many other blue states have statutory or policy limits on participation in federal immigration programs.
Recently, moments after being sworn in as Governor, Virginia’s Abigail Spanberger’s first act was to reverse all policies that former Governor Glenn Youngkin had enacted on a range of immigration and cooperation subjects. Her statements were masterclasses in duplicity, promising to enforce the law, even while making it impossible for Virginia law enforcement to do so because ICE detainers are administrative, not judicial:
I have full confidence that Virginia law enforcement agents are keeping Virginia safer when exercising their authority under Virginia law.

And, importantly, any time there is a judicial warrant in hand, state and local law enforcement should be, and the expectation is, they should be cooperating with any other law enforcement agencies that might need their assistance.
