Illegal migrant crime stories keep coming
Following Pres. Joe Biden's two actions on the border this month, stories about illegal aliens committing violent crimes seem to dominate the headlines
Following Pres. Joe Biden's actions on illegal immigration at the U.S. southern border and then amnesty for half a million illegal aliens already in the country that took place this month, stories about illegal aliens committing violent crimes seem to be dominating the headlines.
Tragically, children have been the victims in several recent cases.
FOX News’ Bill Melugin followed up with details on the Nungaray case, verifying they men involved were illegal aliens from Venezuela.
Melugin wrote that per sources, “26-year-old Franklin Jose Pena Ramos crossed illegally into El Paso in May, was caught by Border Patrol, and was released into the U.S. with a Notice to Appear/NTA, and “21-year-old Johan Jose Rangel Martinez crossed illegally into El Paso, TX in March, was caught by Border Patrol, and was released into the U.S. on an unknown basis.”
On June 21, the Washington Examiner published a report about a then 16-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras who was released into the United States after crossing the southern border under the Biden administration in April 2022.
The Washington Examiner article says Junior Manuel Dubon Benitez, now 18, pleaded guilty in Iowa for the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl.
These kind of violent crimes, which often include rape, are not unlike the crime statistics being reported in European countries that have seen massive numbers of migrants enter them.
According to statistics released by the German Federal Criminal Police Office, six in ten violent crimes were committed by migrants. Violent attacks in Germany recent months have made international headlines, including a knife attack by a migrant that left a police officer dead. It’s gotten so bad that Chancellor Olaf Scholz is threatening to start deporting “criminals from Afghanistan and Syria again,” per the Associated Press.
France has also seen its share of knife attacks by migrants in the past year.
More To The Story
Youth Crime in the United States, including in North Carolina, has risen sharply since the pandemic, including crimes committed by juveniles who have crossed illegally into the U.S.
On June 8, during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Senior Health and Human Services (HHS) official Robin Dunn Marcos told the committee the agency does not request criminal records from the countries of origin when vetting unaccompanied alien children (UACs).
The Committee issued a report on June 17 detailing Marcos' testimony and outlining how the UAC program is used for gangs to import its members as well as recruit new ones and how the UAC policies have had devastating impacts that include theft rings and murder of U.S. citizens. The report also shows how UAC encounters have skyrocketed alongside the mass influx of illegal immigrants averaging over 2 million a year since Biden took office.
Marcos works in the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which is the arm of HHS that entered into a contract in Greensboro, North Carolina to use the former American Hebrew Academy campus to house up to 800 juvenile illegal migrants. As of March of this year, that campus, now referred to as the Greensboro Influx Care Facility (ICF), was activated but residents in the area tell me that no children have been seen on the campus so far.

Bonus immigration-related news item
On June 20, Project Veritas dropped a video showing a State Department consular official describing how the Biden administration's open border policy is aimed at importing "leftists" from South America into the U.S. to "change the demographics of the United States."
The consular official is quoted as saying, “Traditional, standard Americans are not leftists. Latin Americans are all leftists. This is just to try and change the demographics [of the United States]."
The video also contains other government officials talking about the billions in taxpayer dollars that have been sent to South American countries to "train them up," as well as millions to Pakistan for "gender" issues like training more women there to be police officers.
Part of the video includes State Department Country Coordinator Dan Fitzgerald describing the "root strategy" and how his department sends money ($4 billion over the last four years) to certain illegal migrant origin countries in hopes of helping people "feel like they can stay there" instead of crossing into the U.S.
Fitzgerald said with a laugh it has helped some but now "the migrants are coming from elsewhere," like Venezuela.
