Is there a wave of migrant crimes as Trump says? The data does not support his accusation. Despite the former president's campaign rhetoric, expert analysis and available data show that, beyond horrific high-profile incidents, there is no evidence of an immigrant-driven crime wave in the United States.
The Justice Department report found that there was no evidence that the authorized immigrant population at city level has an impact on homicide rates. The campaign claims, without evidence, that these statistics hide the serious problem of immigrant crime.
