Americans murdered at the hands of illegal immigrants have left communities throughout the United States on edge as more than 1.4 million people have avoided deportation orders amid the country’s border crisis. Of that 1.4 million, only about 13,000 are behind bars. As of July 2023, an estimated 11.7 million illegal immigrants resided in the U.S., according to the Center of Migration Studies of New York. “It took decades of neglect and bad public policy, coupled with four years of unprecedented illegal immigration, to get here,” Steven Camarota, the director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital. Former Border Patrol Council head Brandon Judd told Fox News Digital the number didn’t come as a surprise.
