Because Trump and Musk are anxiously trying to strip this information from government websites because it contradicts their narrative on “Illegal Immigrants”, we are offering it here for you to find and read.
Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate
Lower Than U.S.-Born Citizen Rate
Analysis of Texas arrest records indicates a consistent trend across violent, drug,
property, and traffic offenses between 2012 and 2018.
September 12, 2024
An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated
the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study
found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born
U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for
property crimes.

The question of how often undocumented immigrants commit crimes is not easy to answer.
Most previous research on crime commission by immigrant populations has been unable to
differentiate undocumented immigrants from documented immigrants. As a result, most
studies treat all immigrants as a uniform group, regardless of whether they are in the country
legally.
The estimates in this study come from Texas criminal records that include the immigration
status of everyone arrested in the state from 2012 to 2018. These data enabled researchers to
separate arrests for crimes committed by undocumented immigrants from those committed
by documented immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens. (For more detail on the study’s data
sources and methodology, see the sidebar “
What Makes the Texas Data Unique?”)
The researchers tracked these three groups’ arrest rates across seven years (2012-2018) and
examined specific types of crime, including homicides and other violent crimes.

these arrest rates as proxies for the rates of crime commission for the three groups.
