There is no evidence of an increase in murders committed by undocumented immigrants, as multiple studies indicate they commit violent crimes at significantly lower rates than native-born U.S. citizens. [1, 2]
Researchers, including a comprehensive longitudinal analysis from the Cato Institute, have historically found that homicide conviction rates for undocumented immigrants are consistently lower than or comparable to those of native-born Americans. Nationwide, overall violent crime rates—including homicides—have trended downward, and research from the Migration Policy Institute shows unauthorized immigrants are less likely to commit felonies than the U.S.-born population.
