You got that exactly the wrong way round. Here's one set of numbers from the CATO institute: https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/illegal-immigrant-murderers-t

  First of all, the link you provided mixes illegal migration with legal migration, a classic trick trying to downplay the effects of illegal immigration. Second, it compares murder rates only, in the state of Texas, a state well known to have extreme amounts of legal guns. You can hardly generalise from this data.

    > First of all, the link you provided mixes illegal migration with legal migration No it doesn't. I chose that article specifically because it provides figures for native-born citizens, legal immigrants and illegal immigrants: > Over the 10-year period from 2013 to 2022, the homicide conviction rate in Texas for illegal immigrants was 2.2 per 100,000, compared to 3.0 per 100,000 for native-born Americans. The homicide conviction rate for legal immigrants in Texas was 1.2 per 100,000. I accept that the figures in other countries may not work out the same way as figures in the USA.

      I would not trust these numbers either way, because they are from a think thank with a very specific agenda.
