In a stunning revelation to Texas state senators, Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw provided some jaw-dropping statistics that reveal the toll illegal immigration is having on the state.

“If we just look at those individuals that are booked into Texas jails for non immigration violations from 2011 to this date, there have been 174,000 criminal aliens that have been responsible, in their criminal career, for 460,000 different violations,” McCraw said, WOAI reports.

These arrests are for felony and serious misdemeanor violations, according to McCraw.

The arrests include “935 homicides, 4,899 sexual assaults, 13,000 burglaries, 34,000 thefts, 54,000 drug charges, 55,000 assaults and 3,700 robberies,” he said.

Of the arrestees, “the very immigrants that the Department of Homeland Security has claimed are their ‘number one priority’ for removal from the country,” the news site says, 115,000 have been convicted of serious crimes.

And make no mistake, McCraw says, they were illegal aliens.

“They were here illegally at the time of the arrest,” he said. “We can confirm that.”

The shocking stats come as Gov. Greg Abbott has vowed to cut off state funds to cities that have a “sanctuary” policy.

The Dallas News reported in early November:

Gov. Greg Abbott told Texas sheriffs, including Dallas County’s Lupe Valdez, that if they don’t honor federal immigration detainers, he will withhold grant funding for their departments.

Abbott sent all Texas sheriffs a letter Wednesday making good on a threat he issued last month to take punitive actions against Valdez after she implemented a new policy under which people who committed minor offenses aren’t held for up to an additional 48 hours for agents of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.

“As Governor, I simply will not allow CJD grant funding administered by this office to support law enforcement agencies that refuse to cooperate with a federal law enforcement program that is intended to keep dangerous criminals off Texas streets,” Abbott said in the letter, according to the News.

“Criminal aliens, trans national gangs, cartel operatives, do operate in Texas and they do constitute a threat,” McCraw told state senators.

“At the end of the day, we are far safer if they can be removed.”
