Report: Criminal Aliens Are Beneficiaries of Biden Immigration Policies

For the past three years, the Biden administration has asserted that its immigration policies prioritize addressing criminal aliens more effectively than the Trump administration. However, a Center for Immigration Studies analysis comparing ICE criminal data from fiscal years 2017-2019 to 2021-2023 finds that criminal aliens have been top beneficiaries of the Biden administration’s immigration agenda.

Contrary to the administration’s promises, official data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) show a significant decline in arrests, prosecutions, and removals of criminal aliens under the Biden administration compared to the Trump administration.

The report, authored by Jon Feere, the Center’s Director of Investigations and a former ICE Chief of Staff, reveals alarming statistics:

57 percent decrease in arrests of criminal aliens
68 percent decrease in at-large arrests of criminal aliens
44 percent decrease in detainer requests issued on criminal aliens
67 percent decrease in deportations of criminal aliens
55 percent decrease in immigration-related criminal convictions

The report further exposes the impact on public safety by examining total numbers of offences on the records of aliens arrested (many committed more than one crime). The findings: a 63 percent decrease in larceny records, a 57 percent decrease in stolen vehicle records, a 55 percent decrease in burglary records, a 48 percent decrease in assault records, a 47 percent decrease in robbery records, a 34 percent decrease in kidnapping records, and significant decreases in all other criminal record categories reported by ICE.

Notably, compared to the first three years of the Trump administration, the Biden administration’s policies have led to a 56 percent decrease in the total number of criminal offenses on the records of aliens arrested.

Feere states, “The Biden administration’s failed policies have proven that taking large numbers of criminal aliens off our streets requires a robust, broad approach to enforcement. Their gutting of immigration enforcement has been a win for criminal aliens and a disaster for public safety. If Congress wants to put an end to the lawlessness, it must significantly increase resources for interior enforcement and demand that taxpayer funds are spent in a manner that gets results.”

Background

Postings from Brisbane, Australia by John Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) -- former member of the Australia-Soviet Friendship Society, former anarcho-capitalist and former member of the British Conservative party.

Why is "La Raza" the one Spanish term that is NEVER translated in the American mass media? Because translating it would make it a lot less respectable. It means "THE RACE" -- The mixed Hispanic "race" of Mexico. Racism is fine South of the Rio Grande only, apparently.

The "line" of this blog is that immigration should be SELECTIVE. That means that:

1). A national government should be in control of it. The U.S. and U.K. governments are not but the Australian government has shown that the government of a prosperous Western country can be. Up until its loss of office in 2007, the conservative Howard government had all but eliminated illegal immigration. The present Leftist government has however restarted the flow of illegals by repealing many of the Howard government regulations.

2). Selectivity should be based on "the content of a man's character, not on the color of his skin", as MLK said. To expand that a little: Immigrants should only be accepted if they as individuals seem likely to make a positive net contribution to the country. Many "refugees" would fail that test: Muslims and Africans particularly. Educational level should usually be a pretty fair proxy for the individual's likely value to the receiving country. There will, of course, be exceptions but it is nonetheless unlikely that a person who has not successfully completed High School will make a net positive contribution to a modern Western society.

3). Immigrants should be neither barred NOR ACCEPTED solely because they are of some particular ethnic origin. Blacks are vastly more likely to be criminal than are whites or Chinese, for instance, but some whites and some Chinese are criminal. It is the criminality that should matter, not the race.

4). The above ideas are not particularly blue-sky. They roughly describe the policies of the country where I live -- Australia. I am critical of Australian policy only insofar as the "refugee" category for admission is concerned. All governments have tended to admit as refugees many undesirables. It seems to me that more should be required of them before refugees are admitted -- for instance a higher level of education or a business background.

5). Perhaps the most amusing assertion in the immigration debate is that high-income countries like the USA and Britain NEED illegal immigrants to do low-paid menial work. "Who will pick our crops?" (etc.) is the cry. How odd it is then that Australians get all the normal services of a modern economy WITHOUT illegal immigrants! Yes: Before the pandemic, you usually COULD buy a lettuce in Australia for a dollar or thereabouts. And Australia IS a major exporter of primary products.

6). I am a libertarian conservative so I reject the "open door" policy favoured by many libertarians and many Leftists. Both those groups tend to have a love of simplistic generalizations that fail to deal with the complexity of the real world. It seems to me that if a person has the right to say whom he/she will have living with him/her in his/her own house, so a nation has the right to admit to living among them only those individuals whom they choose.
