One of the Left’s favorite talking points on immigration is the claim that illegal aliens commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans. That claim is highly debatable. More importantly, it’s irrelevant. What open border advocates refuse to acknowledge is that every crime committed by an illegal alien never should have happened. American citizens are suffering because left-wing politicians refused to secure the border and refused to enforce our immigration laws. Democrats claim they want criminal illegal aliens deported but then support “sanctuary city” policies that protect criminals from deportation. They release criminals rather than turn them over to federal immigration police. They’re doing everything they can to prevent criminal aliens from being deported. But the media never tells you that. Here’s something else the media won’t tell you. Tennessee officials keep track of and report the number of crimes committed every year in the state by illegal aliens. The figures for 2025 were just released, and they are shocking.
