The report, spanning from June 2011 to September 2024, paints a disturbing picture of the impact of illegal immigration on public safety.

According to the report, over 443,000 criminal noncitizens were booked into local Texas jails during this period. Of these, a staggering 314,000 were confirmed to be in the country illegally. These individuals were charged with more than 546,000 criminal offenses, resulting in over 200,000 convictions.

Yeah, there’s a reason even Kamala Harris is (quietly) admitting that we need a wall.

The Toll on Texas Communities

The crimes committed by these illegal residents span a wide range of offenses, including homicide, assault, burglary, drug-related crimes, kidnapping, theft, obstructing police, robbery, sexual assault, and weapons charges. Each of these crimes represents a victim who should never have been subjected to such trauma.

“Thousands of crimes that should not have occurred and thousands of victims that should not have been victimized because the perpetrator should not be here,” a statement from the Texas Department of Public Safety reads.

The Texas Department of Public Safety emphasizes that these figures represent the minimum number of crimes associated with illegal noncitizens charged with state offenses. The true impact may be even more significant, considering that federal crimes and offenses committed by legally residing foreign nationals are excluded from this data.
