Crime Prevention Research Center   Dear Diogenes: Democrats and the news media keep claiming that immigrants commit crimes at "far lower than the crime rate among native-born Americans." A new survey we commissioned by McLaughlin & Associates on April 29, 2025, reveals that this effort has had an impact: 41.6% of voters believe that illegal immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than U.S. citizens, compared to 33.3% who don't. An op-ed that I wrote at Real Clear Politics goes through the data showing the high crime rate of illegal aliens. There is also some new data suggesting that crime in Colorado plummeted after the Trump administration deported illegals. My op-ed on Joe Biden's shocking now declassified plan for dealing with "non-criminal" domestic terrorists has continued to get attention. I discussed the details on One America News, as well as John Solomon Reports (worth listening to) and Strictly Speaking with Bob Frantz.  Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson on the Sinclair Broadcast Network had me on this last Sunday to discuss problems with the FBI's various crime data. Sinclair broadcasts on 185 television stations. I hope you agree it turned out well. Our research on active shootings that compared civilians carrying permitted concealed handguns with police has continued getting coverage, with discussions on St. Louis' giant KFTK-FM and Armed American Radio. There are a couple of interesting stories. Democrats are claiming that Congress' move to strike the $200 tax on the gun suppressors will make it so people won't hear criminals using guns. Either they know almost nothing about guns, or they are incredibly dishonest. With a suppressor, AR-15s or .45 caliber handguns are as quiet as a jackhammer is at close range. A 9mm handgun is as silent as a chainsaw.  The news media coverage of the Palm Springs bombing of an IVF clinic was quite biased. How many know that instead of the bomber being a pro-lifer as much of the media covered it, the environmentalist actually wanted "a war against pro-[human] lifers." There was a dramatic shooting attack in Seattle that a concealed handgun permit holder stopped, and we have updated our list of defensive gun uses by people legally carrying concealed handguns for January 2025. If you haven't already seen it, please watch our new video with John Stossel, which covers our new research showing errors in the FBI's active shooting reports. We need help getting our research out. It doesn't do us any good to do all this work if people don't see it. If you have friends you think might find our emails interesting, please encourage them to sign up by sending them the link here. Thank you very much. We need your support to continue doing the work that we do. I don't think that there is any organization with as small of a budget that regularly produces as much as we do. Thank you very much. .
