Deaths Attributed to Illegal Immigration Highlighted in Report

According to a report from grassroots organizations against mass immigration, illegal immigrants have been linked to the deaths of at least 1,411 individuals over the past quarter-century. This urgent issue, as pointed out by Bill Geen, founder of the American Legal Immigration PAC, tends to go unnoticed by the general public, primarily due to fragmented news coverage.

Agnus Giboney, an advocate whose son was killed by a previously deported illegal immigrant, emphasized that the only coverage about these incidents often lacks comprehensive statistics. She noted, “Since 2000, perhaps 20,000 people have died because of illegal immigrants involved in crimes and accidents.” Her wish is for cities across the U.S. to begin tracking crime statistics more rigorously, as that would offer clarity on the sources of such violence.

Recently, the influx of new immigrant names has triggered updates to the already growing list maintained by ALIPAC, with the total deaths noted extending beyond the initial statistics shared. Comparatively, another individual’s list has recorded 1,280 deaths attributed only to illegal immigrants since 2018, based on credible government reports and news sources.

Olin, another advocate for this cause, expressed concerns over a lack of thorough reporting on immigration statuses when fatalities occur, suggesting approximately 90% of the suspects in these deaths might be illegal immigrants. He highlighted that drunk driving was responsible for a significant portion of these incidents, impacting many Latino victims, including undocumented individuals.

While ALIPAC focuses on American and legal immigrant fatalities, there appears to be resistance from law enforcement and media to disclose the immigration status of suspects. “We have evidence that many names were recorded only through firsthand accounts,” Geen commented. He asserted that “the lack of enforcement for existing immigration laws has devastating consequences for American citizens.”

Olin further criticized government reluctance to collect critical data, especially within “sanctuary states” where asking about immigration status is restricted. He noted that the American public remains largely uninformed about these casualties, particularly in comparison to high-profile cases involving immigration activists.

The absence of detailed tracking by federal authorities on those killed by immigrants remains a point of contention, as statistics from other areas, such as workplace fatalities and pedestrian accidents, are meticulously maintained. While some government reports hint at foreign arrest statistics related to murder, the full scope of fatalities linked to immigration remains unclear.

Advocates are calling for Congress to formally recognize these deaths and create a memorial for the victims. This could serve as a critical reminder of the human consequences of immigration policies that critics view as ineffective. According to Geen, adopting such measures would underscore the urgent need for systematic changes in immigration enforcement.
