Left’s Split Reaction to Police Shootings, Migrant Crime Progressives treat each cop killing of unarmed black men as a national crisis; but then they insist illegal migrant wrongdoing is rare By Brendan Kirby \| Sunday, August 26, 2018 lifezette.com EXCERPT: The Data Are Unambiguous The data tell another story, however. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statistics indicate that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested 1,886 criminal aliens in fiscal year 2017 who either had pending homicide charges or convictions. In that same period from October 2016 to September 2017, according to a database maintained by The Washington Post, the sum total of unarmed black people shot to death by police? Sixteen. In fact, in that fiscal year, the total number of people killed by police was 971. That includes people of all races and criminals who were shooting at the cops or threatening them in some other way. David Cross, who closely monitors crime data in Oregon, said 136 illegal immigrants as of July were in prison in his state, alone, on homicide charges. Two of them had been convicted of killing police officers, he said. Cross, a spokesman for Oregonians for Immigration Reform, said Warren and other progressives suffer from “cognitive dissonance” when it comes to the issue. “Their belief system does not match what’s going on … People just aren’t willing, sometimes, to believe the reports,” he said. In one way, comparing criminal alien crimes to police shootings is apples to oranges. The illegal immigrant population, after all, greatly exceeds the number of police officers. But even after controlling for that fact, homicides by noncitizens are far more common. There are roughly 750,000 sworn police officers in the United States. That works out to a rate of 2.13 per 100,000 officers who killed an unarmed black person in fiscal year 2017. Using the common estimate of 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, the 1,886 homicide-related arrests work out to a rate of 17.15 per 100,000.
