The trick word is "active." I'm sure that means unsolved. If they ran back to Mexico, then it remains unsolved. And, many of these cases build up.
Just for talking sake, IF there are 1,000 murders over some time period, and 40 % of them are by illegal Mexicans, THEN all but 100 of the 400 might remain unsolved. But nearly all of the black, white, American Hispanic murders that make up the 60 % are solved.
Therefore 100 / (100 + 5) => 95 per cent.
Although the crimes are alarming, the calculation of 95 per cent is perfectly reasonable. But quoting the number this way probably understates the amount of their true carnage (400 in the time period above).
Remember, these numbers keep building year by year. So the percentage keeps going up.

Thanks -- that makes sense. Throwing in the "active" aspect overemphasises the illegals' part in the overall homicide situation.
