Two thoughts on this. First, you appear to be comparing all homicides to homicide convictions. I'm not sure what the national conviction rate is but it brings that number down.
Second, if those unsolved murders, I would suspect that illegal aliens would represent a disproportionate number, given that they are more difficult to find and can easily return home to escape conviction.
Even accounting for that though, it's still a relatively small amount in total but I have no idea what those rates would be like proportionately.

- parineum 2y agoIt's significantly easier to flee to where you are a citizen than it is to flee to where you need a passport. Maybe "easily" wasn't the right phrase but significantly easier, especially in a mental/personal sense.
