new report based on data from the U.S. Department of Justice suggests that crimes committed by illegal migrants cost U.S. taxpayers at least $166.5 billion, and the severity of those crimes greatly exceeds that of typical American norms.
The report was written by Dr. John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center and is based on data from the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ), according to The Tennessee Star. . . .
Out of the total crimes committed by the migrants on the docket, 14,944 – or 2.25 percent – are homicides; 20,061 are sexual assaults, 105,146 are assaults, 126,343 are traffic offenses, and 60,268 are burglaries, larcenies, or robberies, according to Dr. Lott’s research.
The financial cost of crimes committed by the illegal aliens on the NDD is estimated at $166.5 billion, with the largest share of $153.8 billion coming from murder, according to Lott’s report.
“The estimate of over $160 billion in costs from criminal illegal aliens is very likely an underestimate of the true costs. It assumes the average criminal coming into the country commits only one offense similar to what he committed in his home country. We are also not counting the costs of half of criminal illegal aliens,” Lott wrote. . . .
Data from the Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly suggests that crimes committed by illegal immigrants cost U.S. taxpayers at least $166.5 billion and the severity of those crimes greatly exceeds that of typical American norms.
The report was written by Dr. John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center and is based on data from the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ). In September, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) revealed in a letter to U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) that as of July 21, 2024, there are 662,566 illegal immigrants with criminal histories on the Non-Detained Docket (NDD), which means they are living freely in the U.S.
Of the 662,566 illegal immigrants, a total of 435,719 on the docket are documented to have criminal convictions in their home countries; that is 65 percent. Another 226,847 or 34 percent, have pending criminal charges.
FBI crime statistics show that in 2023 the rate of convicted killers in the NDD along is more than 13 times higher that of the rate of reported homicides when compared to American crimes. According to Dr. Lott’s research, out of the total crimes committed by the illegal immigrants on the docket, 14,944 are homicides; 20,061 are sexual assaults; 105,146 are assaults; 126,343 are traffic offenses; and 60,268 are burglaries, larcenies, or robberies.

Lott based on data provided by the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ) suggests that not only have the crimes committed by illegal migrants cost U.S. taxpayers at least $166.5 billion, but the severity of those crimes is much higher than American norms.
Earlier this year, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) revealed in a letter to U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX-23) that as of July 21, 2024, there are 662,566 illegal migrants with criminal histories on the Non-Detained Docket, meaning they are freely living in the United States.
Within this subset of 662,566 illegal border crossers, a total of 435,719 on the docket – more than 65 percent – are documented to have criminal convictions in their home countries while another 226,847 have pending criminal charges.
Out of the total crimes committed by the migrants on the docket, 14,944 – or 2.25 percent – are homicides; 20,061 are sexual assaults, 105,146 are assaults, 126,343 are traffic offenses, and 60,268 are burglaries, larcenies, or robberies.
FBI crime statistics show that in 2023 in the United States, about 0.16 percent of reported crimes were for homicide/non-negligent manslaughter – meaning that the rate of convicted killers in the Non-Detained Docket alone is more than 13 times that of the rate of reported homicides when compared to American crimes.
Lott’s report in RealClear Investigations noted that the 662,566 migrants on the Non-Detained docket make up just 9 percent of the estimated total of 7.4 million illegal migrants that have been released into the U.S. “These criminals disproportionately entered the U.S. during the Biden administration,” he wrote.
The financial cost of crimes committed by the illegal aliens on the docket is estimated at $166.5 billion, with the largest share of $153.8 billion coming from murder, according to Lott’s report which reviewed cost estimates for each crime.
The estimated financial figure, Lott’s report notes, factors in “medical care/ambulances, mental health care, police/fire service costs, social/victim services, property loss/damage, reduced productivity (at work, home, and school), and nonmonetary losses (fear, pain, suffering, and lost quality of life).”
Lott’s analysis concludes that the estimated financial cost of illegal migrant crime may be much more, considering many crimes – including kidnapping, embezzlement, extortion, smuggling, weapon offenses, and traffic offenses – do not have cost estimates.
“The estimate of over $160 billion in costs from criminal illegal aliens is very likely an underestimate of the true costs. It assumes the average criminal coming into the country commits only one offense similar to what he committed in his home country. We are also not counting the costs of half of criminal illegal aliens,” Lott wrote. . . .
According to John Lott, the historical statistician who heads up his Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), more than 21 million Americans have a concealed-carry permit. But what must be frustrating to a man intimately acquainted with and dependent upon reliable numbers is the fact that that estimate is likely much too low.
The reason: 29 states now allow “Constitutional carry,” which means a law-abiding citizen is free to carry a firearm without first getting permission from the government to do so. And that means he doesn’t show up in the numbers Lott uses in his annual report on the topic.
Lott explained:
While concealed handgun permit data is a better measure of changing gun ownership rates than NICS checks [background checks] or [opinion] polls, it clearly underestimates the true number and growth of people who can legally carry concealed handguns. [And] the scale of that underestimation is increasing over time. . . .

Illegal migrants allowed to live freely in the U.S. under the Non-Detained Docket (NDD) have a homicide rate 13 times higher than the national average, according to a report by Dr. John R. Lott. The study, based on U.S. Department of Justice data, highlights the financial and societal impact of these crimes, estimating costs to taxpayers at $166 billion. . . .
[In Indonesian] John R. Lott Jr., presiden Pusat Penelitian Pencegahan Kejahatan dan mantan kepala ekonom di Komisi Hukuman AS di Washington, mengatakan kepada Fox News Digital bahwa Biden memutuskan untuk meringankan hukuman mati 37 terpidana mati federal, tidak semuanya. 40 masih belum jelas.
“Itu tadi pembunuh massal yang dia pindahkan hukumannya, namun ada orang lain yang melakukan pembunuhan lebih sedikit dan hukumannya belum diringankan, kata Lott. “Ketika saya membaca pernyataannya, tidak jelas bagi saya mengapa dia mengalokasikan kasus-kasus tersebut. seperti yang dia lakukan.”
“JIKA MENURUTNYA HUKUMAN MATI ITU SALAH, MAKA TIDAK JELAS BATASANNYA.”
Lott menambahkan bahwa presiden “bisa saja bermain-main dengan pendukungnya” dalam membuat keputusan untuk meringankan 37 hukuman tersebut, namun mencatat bahwa keluarga korban berbagi pernyataan mengungkapkan bagaimana kerabat mereka tidak diberi belas kasihan terhadap mereka yang kini dijatuhi hukuman seumur hidup, bukan hukuman mati. . . .
A recent report has unveiled alarming statistics regarding illegal migrants living freely in the United States, raising serious concerns about public safety.
According to a study conducted by Dr. John R. Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, illegal migrants on the Non-Detained Docket (NDD) have a convicted homicide rate that is an astonishing 13 times higher than that of American citizens.
The report, which draws on U.S. Department of Justice data, indicates that there are over 662,000 illegal migrants in the NDD, with more than 65 percent having criminal records from their home countries.
In total, nearly 436,000 individuals within this group have documented criminal convictions, while an additional 226,847 are facing pending charges. The severity of the crimes committed by these individuals is deeply concerning, particularly given the estimated financial impact on U.S. taxpayers, which Dr. Lott places at a staggering $166.5 billion.
Among the reported crimes committed by illegal migrants on the NDD are nearly 15,000 homicides and 20,000 sexual assaults. More shockingly, the study reveals that murders committed by these migrants alone account for an estimated financial cost of over $153 billion.
Dr. Lott pointed out that these numbers likely underestimate the true scale of the problem, as they assume each criminal commits only one offense similar to those in their home country.
He further emphasized the urgent need for policy reform to address this growing concern, particularly in light of such high rates of violent crime linked to non-detained illegal migrants. . . .
More than 8% of Americans have a permit to carry concealed despite an increasing number of states no longer requiring a permit to exercise such rights, otherwise known as constitutional carry, according to new a report from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC).
This marks the 11th consecutive year the report has been published, the latest iteration being authored by CPRC President John Lott, Professor Carlisle Moody and Rujun Wang. The authors found that 2024 was the second consecutive year in which there was a small decrease in permits—there was a total of 21.5 million permit holders, or 8.2% of America’s adult population.
But this is hardly the whole story.
“A major cause of the continuous decline is that 29 states now have Constitutional Carry laws after Louisiana allowed permitless carry, effective July 4, 2024,” the report states. “In other words, 46.8% of Americans (157.6 million) now live in constitutional carry states, with 67.7% of the land in the country (2.57 million square miles).”
As the report explains, because of the widespread acceptance of constitutional carry—a trend spurred by the NRA’s tireless advocacy for the right to carry—the 21.5 million number likely does not fully reflect the number of Americans legally carrying firearms for self-defense.
“Many residents still choose to obtain permits so that they can carry in other states that have reciprocity agreements, but while permits are increasing in the non-constitutional carry states, they fell in the four constitutional carry ones even though more people are clearly carrying in those states,” the report stated.
According to the report, more than 10% of adults in 16 states have carry permits, with Oregon falling out of that category in 2024. Indiana has the highest concealed-carry permit rate, at 23.1%, followed by Alabama (20.5%) and Colorado (17.7%). Five states—Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Texas—each have more than one million carry-permit holders. Alabama, which passed constitutional carry in 2023, fell below the one-million mark in 2024.
Also, according to the report, in 2024, women made up 29.1% of permit holders in the 14 states that provide data by gender. Seven states had data from 2012 to 2023/2024, and permit numbers in those states grew 111.9% faster for women than for men over that time period.
“From 2015 to 2021/2023/2024, in the four states that provide data by race over that time period, the number of Asian people with permits increased 219.2% faster than the number of whites with permits,” the report states. “Blacks appear to be the group that has experienced the largest increase in permitted concealed carry, growing 283.9% faster than whites.”
As the carry permit report shows, violent crime offenses have decreased as carry permit numbers have gone up.
“At the same time that there has been an exponential growth in permits, there has been a general linear decline in rates of violent crime offenses,” the report states. “Violent crime fell from 4.77 per 10 million people in 2007 to 3.64 per 10 million people in 2023, a 24% drop. Meanwhile, the percentage of adults with permits soared by threefold.”
According to the report, the increase in permits was relatively slow over the years, growing from roughly 2.7 million permit holders in 1999 to 4.6 million in 2007; however, the number of concealed handgun permits exploded during the Obama administration, with the Government Accountability Office estimating that there were at least 8 million concealed handgun permits in December 2011. By June 2014, that number had grown to 11.1 million. Now, 10 years later, the total stands at 21.5 million, which, as the report mentions, is undoubtedly an underestimate of the total number, due to outdated and missing data. . . .
