A new nationwide survey commissioned by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) and conducted by McLaughlin & Associates has revealed a significant disconnect between public perception and actual crime data involving illegal immigrants. Despite years of border chaos and rising crime rates, a majority of voters still believe illegal aliens are less likely to commit crimes than U.S. citizens.
In the April 29, 2025 survey of 1,000 likely voters, only 33.3% said illegal immigrants commit crime at a higher rate than American citizens. By contrast, 41.6% said they do not, and 25.1% said they weren’t sure.
Breakdown by Demographics
The divide is sharpest along political and ideological lines:
Republicans (57.9%), conservatives (54.5%), and white voters aged 41–55 (40.6%) are the only major groups who believe illegal aliens commit more crimes.
Democrats (64.8%), liberals (69.7%), young adults aged 18–29 (only 19% said “yes”), and Black Americans (58.4%) are most likely to believe the opposite.
These beliefs stand in stark contrast to hard data and mounting evidence.
