U.S. Congressman Jerry Nadler (D–NY) claims it is “pure hogwash” that “this country is threatened by a great crime wave because of illegal immigrants.”
IN FACT, the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that the criminal records of non-citizens in U.S. prisons and jails contained 33,300 arrests/transfers for murders committed in the United States. Contrary to the media, illegal immigrants are far more likely to commit serious crimes than the general U.S. public.
