Democrat politicians are ok with this as long as the fraudulent votes keep them in power! Trump is fixing this!","uri":"https://www.threads.com/@kevingolwitzer/post/DZdwAqiHLRk","authorHandle":"kevingolwitzer"},"verdict":{"verdict":"False","confidence":95,"summary":"The central claim that 60% of U.S. murders were committed by undocumented immigrants is entirely fabricated and contradicted by all available research, which consistently shows undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans. The claim about non-citizen 'fraudulent votes' keeping Democrats in power is also unsupported by evidence, as non-citizen voting in U.S. elections is extremely rare. Trump has indeed pursued aggressive immigration enforcement actions since returning to office, but the premise he is 'fixing' is built on false statistics.","claims":[{"claim":"60% of murders last year in the United States were committed by illegal aliens","assessment":"No national data supports this figure. Multiple authoritative sources—including the Cato Institute, National Institute of Justice, Washington Post, and Reuters—confirm that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born Americans. Texas, the only state that tracks arrests by immigration status, found undocumented immigrants had lower homicide arrest rates than U.S.-born citizens. The 60% figure appears to be entirely fabricated.","status":"False"},{"claim":"Fraudulent votes by non-citizens keep Democrat politicians in power","assessment":"Multiple studies and official reviews have found non-citizen voting is extremely rare. A 2024 Georgia review found only 20 non-citizens among 8.2 million registered voters (0.0002%). A Bipartisan Policy Center analysis of Heritage Foundation data found only 77 instances of non-citizen voting between 1999 and 2023. USCIS itself acknowledged that non-citizen voting in federal elections is 'extremely uncommon.' There is no evidence that non-citizen voting has meaningfully affected any election outcome.","status":"False"},{"claim":"Democrat politicians are ok with murders by illegal aliens","assessment":"This is a subjective characterization of political motives rather than a verifiable factual claim. No evidence is provided, and it rests on the false premise that undocumented immigrants commit a disproportionate share of murders.","status":"Unsupported"},{"claim":"Trump is fixing this","assessment":"Trump has indeed taken significant executive actions on immigration in 2025-2026, including deportation orders, border enforcement measures, and repealing prior enforcement priorities. The White House claims over 605,000 deportations and 1.9 million self-deportations. However, whether these actions constitute 'fixing' the problem is subjective, and the underlying problem described in the post (60% of murders by undocumented immigrants) does not exist.","status":"Mixed"}],"caveats":"The post's core statistical claim (60% of murders) is so far from any credible data that it is difficult to interpret charitably. The claim about non-citizen voting is a long-debunked talking point. The assessment of Trump 'fixing' immigration is inherently subjective and depends on one's policy views.","sources":[{"title":"The truth about illegal immigration and crime - The Washington Post","url":"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/29/truth-about-illegal-immigration-crime"},{"title":"Fact Check: No evidence 4,000 people are killed yearly by undocumented immigrants - Reuters","url":"https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/no-evidence-4000-people-are-killed-yearly-by-undocumented-immigrants-2024-09-27"},{"title":"Illegal Immigrant Incarceration Rates, 2010–2024 - Cato Institute","url":"https://www.cato.org/briefing-paper/illegal-immigrant-incarceration-rates-2010-2024-demographics-american-imprisonment"},{"title":"Undocumented Immigrant Offending Rate Lower Than U.S.-Born - National Institute of Justice","url":"https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/undocumented-immigrant-offending-rate-lower-us-born-citizen-rate"},{"title":"Voting By Noncitizens is a Non-Issue - Fair Elections Center","url":"https://fairelectionscenter.org/voting-by-noncitizens-is-a-non-issue"},{"title":"Four Things to Know about Noncitizen Voting - Bipartisan Policy Center","url":"https://bipartisanpolicy.org/article/four-things-to-know-about-noncitizen-voting"},{"title":"The Trump Administration's 2025-26 Changes to Immigration Law - NYC Bar Association","url":"https://www.nycbar.org/reports/the-trump-administrations-early-2025-changes-to-immigration-law"},{"title":"Secure the Border – The White House","url":"https://www.whitehouse.gov/priorities/border-immigration"}]},"communityNote":"False.
