Description

January 2021 marked the beginning of an illegal immigration boom in the United States, which has led to a drastic increase in violent crime across the country. In many cases, the criminal aliens were present not in spite of federal, state, or local policy but because of intentional policy choices advanced by the left.



Heritage’s new data visualization tool, “Border Insecurity and Lax Law Enforcement Lead to Preventable Crime,” showcases the very real harm being caused to Americans across the country by open border and soft-on-crime policies. Drawing from this tool, our program will highlight the policy choices that have led to countless preventable crimes, as well as proposed solutions to keep Americans safe.
