Illegal immigrants in Georgia commit fewer crimes than citizens, new data reveals

Credited from: NEWSWEEK

  • Recent data from Georgia indicates that illegal immigrants are incarcerated at a lower rate than American citizens, accounting for just 3.3% of the prison population.
  • The Cato Institute analysis found that illegal immigrants are held at a rate of 399 per 100,000, compared to 478 per 100,000 for legal citizens.
  • Despite some high-profile crimes by migrants, this data counters the narrative presented by some Republican leaders, including President-elect Donald Trump.
  • The new crime report from Georgia follows a law aimed at increasing transparency regarding immigrant crime rates, with findings showing lower homicide rates among undocumented immigrants.
  • Experts argue that mass deportations may not effectively reduce crime, as it targets a less crime-prone population.
