On CNN Chris Cuomo, Ana Navarro, and Steve Cortes trade claims about research on crime by illegal aliens versus native-born Americans. While Cuomo and Navarro claim that there is no research showing illegal aliens commit crime at a higher rate than native-born Americans, Cortes cites research from John Lott with the Crime Prevention Research Center. A copy of the research that Cortes cites is available here. As our report notes, the studies that Cuomo thinks proves his point either rely on self-reported surveys of criminality (guess what: illegal aliens might be more reticent to report that they have already been in jail than Americans) or mixing legal and illegal aliens together.
