VDARE.com began tracking Immigrant Murder Syndrome in 2007, after the Virginia Tech Massacre (perp: a Korean immigrant, Seung-Hui Cho, above). We define Immigrant Mass Murder as

A murder committed in America, by an immigrant—or member of an immigrant community.

But in any case, it’s a murder that would never have happened in America, but for mass, non-traditional immigration.

Note that, with this definition, we are scrupulously trying to exclude mass murderers who are just visiting—like, most controversially, the 9/11 hijackers, most of whom were abusing tourist visas...

... we do include some American-born children of immigrants such as Major Nidal Hassan, born to Jordanian immigrant parents, perpetrator of the 2010 Fort Hood Massacre. This is a question of judgment, but in several cases, for example the 2015 San Bernardino Massacre, the perpetrators actually include both immigrants and “immigrant-stock” American-born...

The American Left is engaged in a systematic and clearly conscious effort to suppress bad news about the post-1965 immigration disaster until it has succeeded in swamping the Historic American Nation and Electing A New People. Thus when a Vietnamese father murders his four children by throwing them off an Alabama bridge, the news stories will say “Alabama Man”.

Finding out that the killer in a mass murder is an immigrant typically requires detective work—often involving reading the foreign press, which is less inhibited and positively interested in news of its emigrants. Sometimes the truth only comes out much later, perhaps at trials. [2 charged with murder in deaths of 6 family members in Chicago, By Emanuella Grinberg and Sheena Jones, CNN, May 20, 2016]. And sometimes it never comes out at all.

This is related to the MSM policy of “not reporting race.” Because the MSM Political Correctness enforcers are obsessed with “racism,” they’ve decided not to say anything bad about immigrants, no matter how badly they act, but always to highlight anything that can make the immigrants look like victims.

Absurdly, it is quite common to see immigrant-on-immigrant crime headlines that look like this: “Man sentenced for brutal rape and murder of 23-year-old Chinese immigrant.” [ABCNY, April 27, 2011] That was the murder of Yu Yao by Carlos Cruz in Queens, NY. Both victim and killer were immigrants: Cruz was a Mexican illegal, and Yao was a legally present Chinese.

The headline could equally have read “Immigrant Sentenced For The Brutal Rape And Murder Of Queens Woman.” But it never does...

Immigrant Mass Murder Syndrome is also related to:

  • Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Terrorism scholar Daniel Pipes has some success in establishing in the MSM the term “Sudden Jihad Syndrome”, describing the phenomenon “whereby normal-appearing Muslims abruptly become violent.” In many cases, “Sudden Jihad Syndrome” is a subset of Immigrant Mass Murder Syndrome, to which, mysteriously, the MSM seems much more resistant...

Why are there so many Immigrant Mass Murders? Like Sir Isaac Newton, we make no hypotheses: we simply offer the facts.

But some patterns clearly offer themselves:..

It is now indisputable that mass Muslim immigration is incompatible with Western society. It should be halted, and the Muslim communities that have established themselves expelled....

556 murders, over 1500 wounded...
