In 1994, famed-radio-host-to-be Michael Savage, an epidemiologist by training, wrote a manuscript titled Immigrants and Epidemics. In it, he pointed out that illegal aliens were bringing dangerous diseases into the United States. Yet despite Savage having long been a successful, published author, the work was rejected. The powers-that-be wanted such truths suppressed. And it appears, too, that the same cover-up is occurring with illegal-alien crime.
As with Savage’s deep-sixed sagacity, this is not a new story. But it is getting renewed attention. As American Thinker (AT) wrote last Thursday:
Every day, all over America, illegal aliens, legal immigrants, and naturalized Americans from a rogue’s list of countries to our South and from the Middle East kill, rape, rob, and defraud us, almost with impunity. Yet, if you try to prove it by citing reliable government statistics, you can’t. The left works hard — it may be its most important job — to ensure you can’t find out exactly how bad things really are across America.
The bottom line: almost no states or the federal government track crimes using reliable indicators of someone’s country of origin, immigration status, or citizenship status.
In fact, AT points out, many Democrat-run states have actually enacted laws prohibiting such data’s collection. They don’t want the public to know the reality of illegal-alien crime.
Their rationale is no mystery. Upon being naturalized, today’s immigrants vote Democratic by healthy margins. As for illegal aliens, they’d break Democratic by an even greater percentage upon achieving legal status. (It has been established, too, that such people sometimes cast votes even while illegal.) Moreover, illegals also count as U.S. population during censuses. They thus serve to give the states in which they’re squatting more representation in Congress — and hence more power. And they’re concentrated in Democratic-run states, with leftists purposely attracting them via the carrot of taxpayer-funded largesse.
In a nutshell, statists use illegal migration to import an electoral army that will grow their power. And they don’t want their army put in any kind of bad light.
There is, however, at least one state that does keep comprehensive records on illegal-alien crime: Texas. And by extrapolating its data, we can glean insight into the problem’s nationwide magnitude. More on that momentarily.
Signs of the Crimes
On the micro level, that magnitude’s indicators are everywhere. For example, it was just reported that in Fairfax County, Virginia, 75 percent of this year’s murders have been committed by illegals. The problem predates 2026, too. As Red Right Daily reports:
Fairfax County has seen a series of violent crimes over several years involving individuals identified by federal authorities as being in the country illegally. The cases are serious — murders, gang-related killings, domestic violence, repeat offenders.
Then, in April 2025, Fox News informed that in New York City,
206 illegal immigrants, the majority of whom have “egregious criminal histories to include manslaughter, rape, assault, drug trafficking and sex assault against minors,” were apprehended as part of [a federal operation].
Next, in 2024, City Journal told us that
after years of a migrant border “surge” — with countless asylum-seekers inadequately vetted and then allowed to enter the U.S. — state law-enforcement agencies now warn that immigrant gangs have seized control of many drug- and human-trafficking networks and have unleashed robbery sprees across the nation.
And last year, The New American reported that during Donald Trump’s second administration’s first 100 days, 66,000 illegals were removed. Seventy-fivepercent were dangerous criminals, too. Even now, with deportation numbers at approximately 600,000, about 40-60 percent of the expelled had criminal convictions or pending charges.
