Hans von Spakovsky: Biden's border crisis – crime problem in Texas a bad omen for rest of US
 [FoxNews] Supporters of illegal immigration like to portray all of the aliens now flooding across the southern border as benign individuals simply seeking a better life. Many no doubt are, but the latest report from the Texas Department of Public Safety shows just how dangerous some of them are.That report outlines more than 573,000 criminal offenses committed by illegal aliens "over the course of their entire Texas criminal careers." And that’s surely just the tip of the iceberg, as the report only covers state offenses, not federal crimes, not crimes committed in other states, and not crimes committed by aliens in the country legally. But what a shocking catalogue of victimization of Texas residents it is. The report by the famous Texas Rangers shows that over 344,000 criminal aliens were booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011, and June 30, 2021, of which over 235,000 were classified as illegal aliens. The criminal offenses with which they were charged included: *1,245 homicides *66,924 assaults *17,456 burglaries *72,835 drug charges *980 kidnappings *33,335 thefts *4,155 robberies *7.076 sexual assaults *8,332 sexual offenses *49,408 obstructing police charges *8,317 weapons charges Keep in mind, as the Texas report says, that these figures "represent the minimum number of crimes associated with criminal illegal aliens" (emphasis added). Why? Because Texas is counting as illegal aliens only those who "previously had an encounter" with the Department of Homeland Security that "resulted in their fingerprints being entered into the DHS IDENT database."
