Summary

Bill O'Reilly analyzes migrant crime statistics and policy responses following President Trump's Tuesday address. He challenges Democratic claims that migrants commit crimes at lower rates, citing data gaps, sanctuary policies, and specific examples of drug trafficking in San Francisco and fraud in Minnesota.

Insights
  • Official migrant crime statistics are incomplete due to Texas-only data sources and sanctuary policy non-reporting in at least 11 states, making national comparisons unreliable
  • State-level non-cooperation with federal law enforcement creates enforcement gaps that allow criminal networks to operate with impunity
  • The debate over migrant crime statistics obscures the underlying policy question: should countries tolerate any criminal activity from undocumented foreign nationals
  • Local prosecution failures compound federal enforcement challenges, particularly in sanctuary jurisdictions
Trends

Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. On this Thursday, crime is back. Undocumented migrant crime. President Trump made a huge deal about it in his address on Tuesday. The Democratic response was an oldie. Migrants commit crimes at a lower rate than U.S. citizens. So what? Even if that claim is true, which it is not, why would any country accept criminal activity from foreign nationals who have no legal right to be in that country in the first place? That's nuts. In the USA, the migrant crime stat is taken from Texas data, not FBI national statistics. Also, at least 11 states do not report migrant crimes under sanctuary policies. Here's the most vivid example I can give you. The drug trafficking in San Francisco, an enormous problem, is controlled by Honduran illegal aliens. Not only does the city fail to prosecute most drug dealers, the state of California will not cooperate with federal law enforcement to even arrest the Honduran pushers. Talk about a get out of jail free card. Same thing happened in Minnesota with the Somali thieves. No state cooperation or even investigation into the billion-dollar fraud exposed by a freelance journalist. So Democrats, please spare us the propaganda about migrant criminals. It's insulting. Back after this. That is the Morning O'Reilly Update. More analysis later on.
