I like her point... but is it accurate.
Large grain of salt with any "data" from social media.

(5,034 posts)Of course, I knew the outcome already. Most killed were probably domestic partners, relatives or friends.

(5,034 posts)Here in Maryland and the closer states, we've had more than just a few 3550-year-old sons who've killed their fathers while still living in the homes they grew up in. Very odd behavior. All whites that I've seen.

(94 posts)Interestingly according to FBI crime stats murders were down 11.6% in 2023. So much for GOP rantings about crime waves.

Regardless: 24,803 homicide suspects were white.

(1,746 posts)So you're ok with her posting bullshit lies?
wolfie001
(5,034 posts)I guess you missed my post near the top. Quick, cursory check. You should do it. Most white males are responsible people of course. What she was saying in the original post is that the # of immigrant murders are miniscule and it's been blown way out of proportion by white racist republicans. I mean, come on. You know that.

(723 posts)You need to do a custom timeframe from 1/23-12/23. You went with the default of 5 years.
The website is kinda wonky and defaults to 5 years for some reason.

(723 posts)For the 29 figure, its from U.S. Customs and Border Protection:
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics/criminal-noncitizen-statistics-fy2023
This table organizes nationwide convictions of criminal aliens by type of criminal conduct. Because some criminal aliens may be convicted of multiple criminal offenses, total convictions listed below exceed the total arrests noted in the table above.
Conviction Type FY17 FY18 FY19 FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23YTD
Homicide, Manslaughter 3 3 2 3 60 62 29
For homicides by white men:
https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/crime-trend
You need to make sure you select a custom timeframe of 1/23 - 12/23. Not her exact number but close.
White - 6,333
Not Specified - 2,945
Unknown - 2,105
American Indian or Alaska Native - 251
Asian - 183
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander -50
Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Other Pacific Islander - 0
Multiple - 0

(1,746 posts)I corrected the yearly stats. The CBP is erroneous. There's no way that in some years immigrants only killed 2 or 3 people. I linked in another post where one person killed that many in a single incident.
hardluck
(723 posts)I have a hard time believing 29 is the correct number. That said, I was just posting where she got it from. Still working so havent had a chance to do a deep dive on that statistic.
BeerBarrelPolka
(1,746 posts)Please look into it. I checked something. In 2019, there 1.65 million immigrants in Chicago area alone. There is no way on planet earth that on 2 or 3 or 29 immigrants only committed murders in the whole country. I simply cannot buy that.
Thanks again.
WarGamer
(17,149 posts)In Texas alone, there were 90+ immigrant murders just in 2022.
So 29 nationally in 2023... laughable.
NOTE: It's a FACT that immigrants have LOWER crime rates than citizens...
But that's no excuse for false data.
BeerBarrelPolka
(1,746 posts)That replied to me:
(They are measuring the number of immigrants arrested by CBP)
So really the number is meaningless because like you wrote, the number is laughable in the nationwide scope.
WarGamer
(17,149 posts)So yeah... the data is being manipulated to send disinformation.

(1,746 posts)I have to call that into question because those numbers are simply too low. For example, I just did one quick Google search and found this about an illegal immigrant who killed 2 people in 2020 alone.
https://www.foxla.com/news/undocumented-immigrant-orange-county-teens-killed-early-release
So I can't buy those Homicide/Manslaughter numbers.
Edit:
Here's one from 2019:

Wiz Imp
(5,177 posts)Keep in mind they count people, so the actual number of people killed may be a little higher if any one person killed more than one other person.
BeerBarrelPolka
(1,746 posts)I'm just say the numbers are wrong. Not directed towards you, but we'd be living in a fantasy world if we think only 3 people a year are killed by immigrants in a country of 330 million people. That happens in a weekend here in Chicago by drug dealers alone. Something is WAY off.
Wiz Imp
(5,177 posts)The numbers are not wrong. They definitely measure what they claim to measure. I think you misunderstand what they are measuring . (They are measuring the number of immigrants arrested by CBP)
https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/no-evidence-4000-people-are-killed-yearly-by-undocumented-immigrants-2024-09-27/
Texas is the only state that logs immigration status in its arrest records, and several studies use data from the Texas Department of Public Safety to examine criminality among immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
Two studies found that undocumented immigrants in Texas commit homicide at significantly lower rates than their U.S.-born counterparts.

(1,746 posts)FBI stats are nationwide which is what the lady in the OP was making note of in the white man stat. It's the stat that I was using as well. Yes, the border patrol stat is correct for border patrol, but is incorrect for national rates. So she was using an apples vs oranges comparison. Furthermore, she stated immigrants, not "illegal" immigrants. That is even a broader range. That's why I was calling it out.
WarGamer
(17,149 posts)In fact... immigrants have lower crime rates than native born Americans... which is cool.
But the 29 thing is somewhere between BS, misinformation and disinformation in the context that tweet implied.

(48,866 posts)It says immigrants killed 29 Americans.
