Data from the Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly suggests that crimes committed by illegal immigrants cost U.S. taxpayers at least $166.5 billion and the severity of those crimes greatly exceeds that of typical American norms. The report was written by Dr. John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center and is based on data from the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ). In September, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) revealed in a letter to U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) that as of July 21, 2024, there are 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal histories on the Non-Detained Docket (NDD), which means they are living freely in the U.S. Of the 662,566 illegal immigrants, a total of 435,719 on the docket are documented to have criminal convictions in their home countries; that is 65 percent. Another 226,847 or 34 percent, have pending criminal charges. FBI crime statistics show that in 2023 the rate of convicted killers in the NDD along is more than 13 times higher that of the rate of reported homicides when compared to American crimes. According to Dr. Lott’s research, out of the total crimes committed by the illegal immigrants on the docket, 14,944 are homicides; 20,061 are sexual assaults; 105,146 are assaults; 126,343 are traffic offenses; and 60,268 are burglaries, larcenies, or robberies. Lott’s report states that the financial cost of crimes committed by illegal immigrants on the NDD list is estimated at $166.5 billion, with the largest share of $153.8 billion coming from murder.
