America’s Changing Landscape: Migration, Crime, and Europe’s Parallel Path

Since the 1990s, the United States has seen a growing influx of migrants from Islamic nations, many bringing values that clash with the nation’s traditional foundations. A troubling aspect is that a significant number enter illegally, an act that itself constitutes a crime under U.S. law, undermining the rule of order from the outset. Policies discouraging assimilation have compounded the issue, with some communities allegedly seeking to impose Sharia law, challenging the country’s cultural unity. Europe’s parallel struggles with migration and crime offer a cautionary tale, but we must approach statistics with caution, especially when they come from those intent on shielding lawbreakers.

In cities like Minneapolis, New York, and Paterson, New Jersey, candidates from diverse backgrounds are climbing political ladders, often with Democratic support. Minneapolis recently sidelined Omar Fateh, yet New York’s Zohran Mamdani enjoys backing from Governor Kathy Hochul and Senator Elizabeth Warren. In Texas, whispers of Sharia governance in certain enclaves fuel unease about integration. Analyst Leo Hohmann ties this to U.S. foreign policy, which has destabilized countries like Somalia, Syria, and Afghanistan, driving refugees—many entering legally under the 1980 Refugee Act signed by Jimmy Carter—into the U.S. This has paved the way for figures like Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, with over 1,000 Muslim candidates reportedly backed by the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) for local roles. For those entering illegally, however, the initial crime sets a precedent that demands scrutiny.

A recent judicial controversy spotlights these tensions. Judge Zia Mustafa Faruqui, a Pakistani-American and the first Muslim Magistrate Judge, faced backlash for his lenient handling of a case involving threats against former President Donald Trump. Former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro accused him of apologizing to the defendant and favoring those with illegal firearms, suggesting a bias that endangers public safety. Faruqui’s support for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) raises questions about whether unassimilated values are seeping into the judiciary, a concern that resonates with Europe’s debates over legal impartiality.

Europe’s migration experience provides a sobering comparison, though its data warrants skepticism. Eurostat reported 3,930 intentional homicides in the EU in 2023, up 1.5% from 2022, with women facing higher domestic homicide rates (4.1 per million) than men (2.2 per million). Property crimes rose, with thefts up 4.8%, robberies 2.7%, and burglaries 4.2%. The UK logged 73,000 rape cases in 2023, sparking outrage. Sweden saw 500 bombings and 124 homicides in 2020, per RealClearInvestigations, with some blaming immigration. Yet, a February 2025 DW study claims poverty, not migration, drives crime—a narrative suspiciously convenient for those protecting illegal entrants. Similar trends in Germany and Finland suggest integration failures, but statistics from pro-criminal advocates should be questioned.

In the U.S., crime data is equally murky. FBI figures for 2024 show a violent crime every 25.9 seconds, with a 10.3% drop from 2023 to 2024 despite rising migration. The Migration Policy Institute insists immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born citizens, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested 6,374 “criminal aliens” in FY 2025 (through July) for offenses like assault and drug trafficking. Texas highlights high-profile cases that stoke fears, though broad studies—often backed by those shielding illegals—downplay links to immigration. X posts reflect public alarm, but official stats from pro-criminal sources may obscure the truth about illegal entries.

The rise of cartels like Tren de Aragua, spreading nationwide since 2021 with advanced weaponry and drone tactics, adds urgency. ICE arrested 65 illegal aliens in Connecticut in 2025, tied to transnational crime, highlighting the risks of unchecked borders. Europe struggles similarly with organized crime, per Europol, where lax policies mirror U.S. failures. Illegal entry, a crime in itself, opens the door to such threats.

Critics argue that American elites—politicians, corporations, and media—have favored globalism over sovereignty, with the Refugee Act of 1980 as a catalyst. Calls to repeal it grow, but Europe’s experience shows that addressing crime requires rejecting data from those protecting lawbreakers. Poverty and integration matter, yet the initial act of illegal entry cannot be ignored.

Hope rests in enforcing laws, educating communities, and fostering integration while rejecting skewed narratives. Americans must demand accountability and distrust statistics from those hellbent on excusing criminals, learning from Europe’s missteps to safeguard the nation’s future.
