A new report highlights the financial and societal costs of crimes committed by illegal migrants on the Non-Detained Docket (NDD). According to Dr. John R. Lott’s analysis of U.S. Department of Justice data, these crimes cost taxpayers $166.5 billion annually.
ICE disclosed to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) that 662,566 illegal migrants with criminal records were on the NDD as of July 2024. Among them, 435,719 had criminal convictions in their home countries, and 226,847 faced pending charges.

But, Democrats told us time and again that the crime rate for illegal aliens was much LOWER than for citizens!
Did the Democrats -gasp!- all lie repeatedly? https://t.co/sJknBNUpFM

The FBI’s 2023 crime data shows that migrants on the docket committed 14,944 homicides, 20,061 sexual assaults, and 105,146 assaults. Burglaries, larcenies, and robberies totaled 60,268 incidents, while traffic offenses accounted for 126,343 cases.
We need this now. They keep quoting statistics about migrant crime rate but what they don't seem to understand is that 1 murder by an illegal migrant is 100% avoidable as they are here illegally! https://t.co/znzLmm0jJI

Lott estimated that homicides alone cost $153.8 billion annually, making up the majority of the $166.5 billion total. He warned that these figures likely underestimate the full cost, as they assume each individual commits only one crime.

The analysis also highlighted its limitations, noting that half of the migrants on the docket were not included in the data. This omission suggests the overall impact may be significantly higher.

The report has sparked discussions about reforming the policies that allow individuals with criminal records to remain free under the NDD system.
