Illegal migrant crime cost $166.5 billion, three times the price of deportation – Washington Examiner
The article discusses a report from the Crime Prevention Research Center, which claims that crimes committed by 662,000 illegal migrants targeted for deportation have an associated cost of $166.5 billion. This figure is notably three times higher than the estimated cost of President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation plan. The assessment was based on the financial impact of these crimes on victims, referencing a pricing framework developed by the National Institute of Justice. John R. Lott Jr., the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, conducted this analysis, suggesting that it reflects just one crime per each individual on ICE’s non-detained list of offenders.
Illegal migrant crime cost $166.5 billion, three times the price of deportation
The cost of crime from 662,000 criminal illegal migrants sought for deportation has been pegged at three times the much-hyped price of President-elect Donald Trump’s “mass deportation” plan.
In an analysis from the Crime Prevention Research Center, the costs of crime from the top targets of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations was set at $166.5 billion. That number is based on the cost to victims, a price list developed by the National Institute of Justice.

Crime Prevention Research Center President John R. Lott Jr., who did the analysis for Real Clear Investigations, said the cost was based on just one of the crimes “each of the 662,566 ‘non-detained’ noncitizen offenders on ICE’s list” has been previously accused of.
“Murders account for almost $153.8 billion of the $166.5 billion in estimated criminal victimization costs. Another $6 billion involves sexual assaults/offenses, and an additional $5.2 billion comes from sexual assaults and sexual offenses,” he wrote.
“Half of the crimes these non-detained individuals commit don’t have cost estimates. These crimes include kidnapping, embezzlement, extortion, smuggling, traffic offenses, and weapon offenses,” he added.

Lott’s analysis compared that to the estimated price of Trump’s “mass deportation” plan. He set that at about $58.3 billion.
Other estimates have been higher and based on more illegal immigrants being removed, but Lott focused on those that the Trump team is expected to be focused on in its effort to deport migrants with the worst criminal records.
