Each month I report on the latest illegal border crossings. For example, I recently noted that Customs and Border Protection released data showing more than 176,000 lawbreakers crossed the southern border in January. More than 10 million illegal aliens, 340 terrorists and 27 tons of fentanyl have been welcomed into our country since Joe Biden took office. Not included in these numbers are the nearly two million additional illegals, known as “gotaways,” who have evaded border patrol officials.
Who are some of these illegal aliens, you may ask? Well, frankly, many are violent criminals. While Joe Biden likes to claim that the southern border is “secure” and has repeatedly stated that it was “not rational” to deport illegal immigrants, the brutal crimes committed by these lawbreakers just this week are heartbreaking and illustrate otherwise.
In Georgia, Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien from Venezuela, faces murder charges this week for the brutal murder of 22 year-old University of Georgia student Laken Riley. Rather than being deported, Ibarra was let go under Biden’s parole policies.
In Virginia this week, Renzo Mendoza Montes, another illegal alien from Venezuela, was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. He entered the country illegally last September but was released because of Biden’s immigration policies.
In Florida, Santo Felix Cruz-Ramos, an illegal immigrant, was arrested this week on charges of raping a woman.
That’s just this week!
There has been a wave of crime committed by illegal aliens for months. For example, a few weeks ago, I wrote about six illegal aliens who beat the hell out of two police officers in New York City. A 15-year-old illegal alien shot a tourist in Time Square in New York City in February. In Texas, an illegal immigrant was recently charged in a fatal hit-and-run death of a ten-year-old boy. A two-year-old boy from Maryland was murdered by a Salvadoran illegal alien last month. In Louisiana, a 14-year-old girl was raped by an illegal alien from Honduras. In Washington, D.C., three police officers were shot in January by an illegal alien from Jamaica.
As the New York Post points out, these criminals crossed our border with total impunity and then kept breaking the law with the same impunity. Joe Biden and the Fake News refuse to accurately report that these crimes are being committed by illegal immigrants. The truth is that Biden could immediately end his policy of catch and release. He could instruct border patrol agents to detain and deport illegals if he wanted to. He could stop welcoming these lawbreakers with open arms. Biden could end this invasion immediately if he chose to, but he refuses. His open border policies are directly responsible for these senseless and heinous crimes. Lives are being destroyed, families are devastated and communities across our nation are being crushed. Yet, Biden and the Fake News largely ignore these tragedies.
Two more points: first, I have been keeping close track of the numbers. Official data supports the number of illegals entering our country since January 2021 at 10 million. And as noted above, the number of “got-aways” is documented at two million. When combined, the total number of illegal aliens entering our country since January 2021 is about 12 million. I point this out because lately I have seen people tweet or comment that the number is seven million. That, of course is a national disgrace if true, but the more accurate number is 12 million illegal aliens. Combined with the illegal aliens here prior to 2021, we have about 40-45 million illegal aliens in our country.
Second, there is a troubling trend of illegal aliens from Venezuela, Guatemala, Brazil, Honduras, El Salvador and other countries because these countries are experiencing a decrease in violent crime in 2022. One theory is that the violent sociopaths from those countries are being released from prison and sent here. This trend will be important to monitor. (I am aware El Salvador has implemented criminal justice reforms that have made it one of the safest countries in Central America).
