So we’ve had practically all of MAGA going wild over a completely false rumor that legal Haitian refugees have been stealing and eating pets. A useful reminder that the whole narrative of a migrant crime wave is based on nothing; crime has actually been falling pic.twitter.com/illAMY2qnd

Politicians may claim there is an “immigrant crime wave,” but the data proves that is a myth. https://t.co/ofXCHEEMIf

In 2023, 15,300 people apprehended at US borders had a prior criminal conviction.

This number of arrests represents 0.7% of all border apprehensions by Border Patrol in 2023.
A person can be arrested multiple times in a year, so arrests may outnumber people. #Debate2024
