There has been debate over the accuracy of certain illegal immigration statistics. However, after thorough research and federal testimony, many of these figures hold true. These statistics reveal the severe impact illegal immigration has on various aspects of American society, from welfare systems to crime rates.

Despite claims that illegal immigrants are only taking jobs Americans won’t do, these numbers tell a different story—one of substantial financial and social burdens.

Key Statistics on Illegal Immigration (from the 2006 INS/FBI Statistical Report):

  • Murders by illegal immigrants: 12 Americans are murdered daily by illegal aliens, totaling over 21,900 murders since September 11, 2001.
  • DUI-related deaths: 13 people per day are killed by illegal immigrants driving under the influence, resulting in 4,745 deaths annually.
  • Warrants for murder: In cities like Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Albuquerque, the majority of murder warrants are for illegal aliens (95%, 83%, and 86%, respectively).
  • Gang membership: Over 50% of gang members in Los Angeles are illegal immigrants.
  • Births to illegal immigrants: More than 380,000 babies were born to illegal immigrants in 2005, with 97.2% of the costs covered by U.S. taxpayers.
  • Welfare and unemployment: Illegal immigrants receive a significant portion of public assistance, with over 58% on welfare, 43% receiving food stamps, and 41% collecting unemployment benefits.
  • Detention center populations: In states like California, Arizona, and New Mexico, a large percentage of inmates are Mexican nationals here illegally (24.9%, 40.1%, and 48.2%, respectively).
  • Population growth: Over 70% of U.S. population growth is attributed to illegal immigration, with an estimated cost of $68 billion annually.

These statistics highlight the long-term consequences of illegal immigration, from financial strain on social systems to public safety concerns. With such overwhelming data, it’s critical to consider the broader impact of illegal immigration and the importance of enforcing laws to protect the nation’s integrity and resources.
