Crime statistics are showing a concerning trend with illegal immigrants. It turns out that at least in New York, illegal immigrants commit crimes at about four times the rate of the overall population. And this could bring trouble for them, given that the Trump administration is now saying it will focus deportation efforts on people who commit additional crimes after illegally entering the country.
We’ll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.

| 0:00.0 | New crime statistics are showing a concerning trend with illegal aliens and the incredible amount of crime they're actually committing. |
| 0:08.0 | Also, meanwhile, it seems the issue of illegal aliens who've gotten commercial driver's licenses, which is also illegal, is a much bigger issue than we could have ever imagined. |
| 0:18.0 | Also, on another topic, the Chinese Communist Party has been aggressively |
| 0:21.6 | carrying out operations for transnational repression, meaning exporting its laws outside of China, |
| 0:27.4 | including here in the United States. This has involved very aggressive attacks on human rights, |
| 0:32.2 | dissidents, human rights activists, basically anybody who's critical of the CCP. And the Chinese Communist Party is turning |
| 0:39.5 | to even more nefarious methods, including putting hits out on people. I'll be talking about |
| 0:46.1 | these topics and a lot more today. I'm the Epic Times Senior Investigator reporter Joshua |
| 0:50.5 | Philip, and you're listening to Crossroads. |
| 1:05.1 | All right, everyone, first off, crime stats are out, and we're getting a clear picture of what's really been happening in this country. |
| 1:07.1 | At least in New York, it turns out illegal aliens commit crimes at about four times the rate of their overall population. |
| 1:15.6 | Now, just the news says this. |
| 1:17.6 | New data shows that in the state of New York, a self-designated sanctuary state, illegal immigrants make up only 3.38% to 4.15% of the state's population. I'd actually argue on whether that's |

| 1:34.2 | illegals who are incarcerated, they are overrepresented in prison and jail populations by a factor |
| 1:40.4 | of roughly three to four times. It says, furthermore, the Empire State has, according to the |
| 1:45.3 | Department of Homeland Security, released 6,947 illegal immigrants since January 20 this year, |
| 1:53.2 | while still holding roughly 7,100 such individuals in its prisons and jails. Meaning, |
| 2:00.1 | it's like three to four times the population, |
| 2:02.7 | if you go by like, you know, criminals and so on. But they're also letting a lot of them out, |
| 2:08.9 | meaning the number could actually be a lot higher. Meaning, and not all of them, but this is a large |
