I looked this up, it seems that it is actually based not on hard statistics, but the testimony of one person before a Senate commitee
Further, it does not refer to warrants issued, but only to outstanding warrants (it will be easier to find and detain citizens).
Other evidence suggests that it is actually around half of outstanding LA warrants are Mexican nationals who fled the US.

Beware the selective use of statistics.  There are plenty of genuine reasons to oppose illegal immigration without basing an argument on dodgy stats.
