‘No Comment': NBC Covers Up Evidence of Immigration Crime
Wave
by Julia Hahn 20 Jul 2015Washington D.C.
Tomorrow, the Judiciary Committee will hear testimony
from Americans who lost loved ones to criminal alien violence. On
Sunday’s Meet The Press, Chuck Todd made
a declaration that would surprise these devastated
families: “We couldn’t find a single study that links violent crime and immigration.”
Apparently neither Mr. Todd nor his research staff ever
thought to look up the government’s own 2011 report on criminal alien activity,
published by the Government Accountability Office.
Breitbart News emailed Mr. Todd and his show to ask why the
government’s own data, and a great deal more information, which would have
disproven Mr. Todd’s sweeping declaration, was omitted. A staff aid to
Mr. Todd replied: “no comment.”
The 2011 U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report
documents crimes committed by foreign alien nationals inside the United States.
It counts as an alien any immigrant who has not been “naturalized” – that
is, any alien who has applied for and been conferred with citizenship after
being brought into the United States from their home country. Therefore,
even this report would not include the criminal offenses of the millions of
immigrants inside the U.S. who have converted their green cards into
citizenship papers, about 19.3 million. So, for instance, the elder
Boston Bomber, the recent Chattanooga Shooter, and other immigrant terrorists
naturalized by the federal government would be counted by the government
as citizen crimes, not alien crimes.
The report tallies approximately 3 million
arrest offenses attached to the incarcerated criminal alien
population. Of these offenses, half a million were drug related, 70,000
were sexual offenses, 213,000 were for assault, 125,000 were for larceny/theft,
and 25,000 were for homicides. Based on the GAO’s sample of criminal
aliens, they estimated that their study population of 249,000 criminal aliens
was arrested about 1.7 million times, averaging about 7 arrests per
criminal alien.
By definition, not one of these crimes would have occurred
absent the immigrant who committed it – in other words, without admitting these
individuals, there would have been at least 70,000 fewer sexual assaults,
25,000 fewer slayings, 125,000 fewer robberies, and so forth.
According to the GAO report, just looking at the federal
prison population, of 51,000 criminal aliens incarcerated in federal
prison in December 2010, 68 percent were citizens of Mexico, and almost 90
percent were from one of seven Latin American countries: Mexico, Colombia,
Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic. Mr. Todd
and his research staff apparently also did not see the recent U.S. Sentencing
Commission data that showed that although illegal aliens only
account for 3.5 percent of the U.S. population, they accounted for 36.7 percent
of federal sentences in Fiscal Year 2014.
Mr. Todd and his research staff were also apparently not
aware that, in 2009, 57 percent of the 76 fugitive murderers most wanted
by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) were foreign-born (either illegal
aliens or aliens given visas).
Perhaps even more shocking, but not mentioned by Mr. Todd or
his staff, is that although six times more U.S. residents are
U.S.-born than foreign-born, foreign-born are responsible for four-times more
terrorism convictions. Or, put another way, 13.5% of the population is
responsible for 64% of terrorism convictions. The vast majority of
the foreign-born present in the United States are
granted entrance as part of our nation’s historic dispensation of millions
of visas to foreign workers, their families, and lifetime immigrants seeking
permanent settlement inside the United States.
However, even these statistics documenting the
relationship between terror convictions and the foreign-born
population undercounts the affect of immigration on terrorism because the
children of immigrants charged with terrorism — who would not be in the United
States but for immigration — would count as native crimes.
Additionally, these statistics do not account for the role of immigrants responsible
for radicalizing “homegrown” jihadis; consider, for instance, that the Islamic
Society of Boston — a mosque whose terror network has been
well-documented and evidenced in attacks ranging from the Boston bombing to the last year’s Oklahoma beheading — was
founded by immigrants.
Moreover, Mr. Todd and his research staff were apparently
also not familiar with the acclaimed work of Manhattan Institute Scholar
Heather Mac Donald, who has published extensively on this topic. In an
exclusive quote to Breitbart News, Mac Donald observes:
What’s telling is that there’s not a single amnesty proposal
that has ever required a clean criminal record from the targets of amnesty.
[Amnesty advocates] inevitably wink at two misdemeanor convictions– and to get
a misdemeanor condition you have to work pretty hard in your criminal
offending. That’s an acknowledgement on the part of advocates that they’re not
dealing with a completely crime free population, otherwise it should be no
sweat to require a clean criminal record.
The media also relies on some confused data sets when
discussing alien versus native crime rates. For instance, studies cited by
the media consider all crimes committed by the children of illegal aliens to be
native crimes — not foreign crimes. The same goes with all aliens in general:
their children’s crimes are counted as native crimes, not as result of
immigration policy. The media also typically does not draw distinctions for
country of origin, economic status, or any other useful information considering
the immigrant population. So, when discussing immigrant crime rates, the
media would average together both the criminal record of a billionaire investor
from Canada and an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador. And when
discussing native crime rate, the media would average together the U.S-born
child of an MS-13 gang member with a 10th generation American whose ancestors
fought in the War of 1812.
This is important because (as Mac Donald has explained in previous writings)
data from the pro-immigration Migration Policy Institute has shown that
“between the foreign-born generation and their American children, the
incarceration rate of Mexican-Americans jumps more than eightfold,
resulting in an incarceration rate that is 3.45 times higher than that of
whites”– yet not one of these crimes would be attributed to the consequences of
immigration policy by Mr. Todd or his research staff.
Census data shows that incarceration rates amongst U.S-born
Hispanic men are 157 percent higher than the incarceration rates of white men.
In 2008, Heather Mac Donald wrote:
California, with one-quarter of the nation’s immigrants and
its greatest concentration of Mexicans and Central Americans, is the bellwether
state for all things relating to unbridled Hispanic immigration, including
crime. The Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study, conducted by sociologists
Alejandro Portes of Princeton and Rubén G. Rumbaut of the University of
California, Irvine, followed the children of immigrants in San Diego and Miami
from 1992 to 2003. A whopping 28 percent of Mexican-American males between the
ages of 18 and 24 reported having been arrested since 1995, and 20 percent
reported having been incarcerated—a rate twice that of other immigrant groups.
Anyone who speaks to Hispanic students in immigrant-saturated schools in
Southern California will invariably hear the estimate that 50 percent of a
student’s peers have ended up in gangs or other criminal activities.
Academically, there are several reasons why statisticians
would need to look at second- and third-generation offending rates from certain
immigrant groups to gain a sense for policymakers of the intersection between
immigration from poor countries and crime rates. For one, most criminals
have high rates of recidivism, but if an alien commits a crime, they are
eligible for deportation — reducing the opportunities for recidivism in the first
generation compared to the second and third. Also, most crimes are committed by
males between the ages of 16 to 24, but most foreigners tend to immigrate
outside that age range.
It is also easier for aliens to evade conviction as they can
flee the jurisdiction or the country altogether. These, and other
factors, require looking at second- and third-generation immigrant families to
determine how immigration from certain regions of the world impacts community
crime.
The numbers reveal a wide racial divide regarding violent
crime.
Blacks make up about 11% of the city’s population but account
for 38% of all homicide victims and 29% of suspects, according to the
statistics. By contrast, whites make up 30% of the population but account for
just 6% of homicide victims and 2% of suspects. Latinos make up 47% of the
population and constitute 50% of homicide victims and 66% of suspects.
Ann Coulter has repeatedly made
a broader point not addressed by Mr. Todd on his program — that the proper
number of crimes we should be satisfied with immigrants committing is zero
yet, instead, we bring in millions of immigrants “from countries with far worse
crime rates than our own.”
U.S. Census data shows that the overall population of
immigrants is at an all-time high of 41.3 million. As
many as 8 million immigrants have entered the United States since President
Obama came into office, including 2.5 million illegally
(either by crossing the border or overstaying an admissions ticket). Those
who came legally — that is, those who were given a visa by the federal
government — have federal permits to take jobs and collect benefits, something
illegal immigrants do not have. Visa-based immigration is, therefore, the
primary way corporations substitute foreigners for Americans.
