2/5 When @RepMcClintock said a few years back that 1,800 people are killed annually by illegal immigrants, @PolitiFact rated the claim as FALSE because @AlexNowrasteh said that annual arrests don’t prove that this amount of murders took place in the year of the arrests.
Arrests in a given year indeed don’t prove when the crime was done, but since the Feds have a stream of 1,900+ annual murder arrests, it either means those murders took place all in 1 year and Feds simply process 1,900 a year. Or more likely it reflects an average annual murders!
4/5 At the time, @AlexNowrasteh said “1,800 murders by illegal immigrants is insanely and outrageously high. Illegal immigrants, about 3.75% of the population, did not commit 10.4% of murders in the US.”
Those 1,900 annul arrests keep happening. When did ths murders take place?

5/5 Besides @AlexNowrasteh. Don’t blame 15 million illegal immigrants for the 1,900 annual murders by illegal immigrants. Almost all those perps are from the same few countries and are young males. It does not involve the mere status of being illegal. cc @tommcclintock
