Donald Trump: Countries ‘Emptying Their Prisons’ into U.S. Thanks to Biden’s Open Border

Former President Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden on Saturday for leaving the nation’s southern border “wide open.”

Trump said during his rally in Cullman, Alabama:

In a matter of mere months, Biden has thrown our southern border wide open. When I left office, we handed the new administration the most secure border in U.S. history and they turned it into the greatest border disaster in American history, probably anywhere in the world.

Trump continued:

You know they’re emptying their prisons out into our country? And I’m not just talking about Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico. I’m talking about Middle Eastern countries. Yemen, people are coming in from Yemen. Our country will really be in trouble. We’ll really be in trouble.

NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 02: Ethinic Yemenis and supporters protest against President Donald Trump’s executive order temporarily banning immigrants and refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Yemen on February 2, 2017 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. At least 1,000 Yemeni-owned bodegas and grocery-stores across the city shut down from noon to 8 p.m. today to protest the order. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Under my administration, we ended the ridiculous Catch and Release. You catch somebody, you find out they’re a criminal and you release them immediately into our country. We ended asylum fraud, we deported record numbers of criminal aliens, we negotiated historic agreements with Mexico and Central America to stop illegal immigration. And we built all of that wall that I just talked about. But we had a stay in Mexico policy. You can’t come into our country, I’m sorry. Stay in Mexico. Biden ended it, he ended it. But you know what happened? Yesterday we won in court and a very wise judge said we’re allowed to have stay in Mexico. Thank you, judge.

Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is pleading with the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) to halt reinstatement of Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, Breitbart News reported Saturday.

“Late Friday evening, Biden’s DOJ applied to Justice Samuel Alito, requesting that SCOTUS block reinstatement of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as Remain in Mexico, until the case makes its way to the court — a process that could take more than a year,” the article read.

Meanwhile, the nation’s television networks have nearly stopped covering Biden’s unpopular mass migration crisis at the southern border, according to a study from Rich Noyes at the Media Research Center (MRC).

“The illegal immigration influx along the U.S. southern border has worsened every month since President Biden took office, but the liberal broadcast networks have essentially stopped covering the crisis,” report stated.

Twice Deported Sex Offender Charged with Child Rape in Tennessee

A previously deported Mexican national is in a Tennessee county jail awaiting charges related to the alleged rape of a child. Immigration officers reportedly deported the subject twice following violent crimes including charges for drugs, domestic assault, and molestation of a child.

Gallatin, Tennessee, police arrested 38-year-old Pedro Ambriz on August 4 for the alleged rape of an underage girl. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers reportedly deported the Mexican national on at least two occasions, according to a report by WKRN.

Local law enforcement officials in Gallatin did not disclose many details about the alleged rape of an underage girl. They did, however, report on his immigration, deportations, and criminal records.

Gallatin Police Lt. Lamar Ballard told the local news outlet that Ambriz has at least five aliases and used at least three different dates of birth to attempt to hide his identity. He added that he considers Ambriz to be a flight risk and they are making keeping him behind bars a top priority.

“Yes, if this individual flees, and we have charges, or we are able to gather more charges, and he is in Mexico that makes it very difficult for us,” Lt. Ballard told reporters. “It’s very difficult, because you don’t know who you are dealing with. It’s hard to track the history of these individuals, who use aliases and different dates of birth.”

Breitbart Texas reached out to the Sumner County Sheriff’s Office and learned that a court set his bond at $225,000. He remains behind bars in the Sumner County jail as of press time.

Ballard said ERO officers appear to have deported Ambriz twice. He added that Ambriz faced charges in 2019 for drugs and domestic assault. He added that Ambriz was deported “after an allegation of molestation of a child.”

He did not disclose if any of those charges resulted in convictions or what sentences were handed down. He told local reporters that Ambriz will be required to serve his full sentence if convicted. “That’s our goal. To make sure he pays for this crime,” he said.

Breitbart Texas reached out to Lt. Ballard for additional information about the alleged child rape. We also reached out to ICE officials for additional information regarding Ambriz’s deportation and immigration history. An immediate response was not available.

Obama-Appointed Judge: Prosecuting Previously Deported ‘Latinx’ Illegal Aliens Is Unconstitutional, ‘Racist’

MISSION, TEXAS - DECEMBER 11: U.S. Border Patrol agents detain undocumented immigrants caught near a section of privately-built border wall under construction on December 11, 2019 near Mission, Texas.

The federal law that criminalizes illegal reentry to the United States is unconstitutional because it is “racist” against “Latinx” illegal aliens, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday.

Judge Miranda Du, appointed by former President Obama in 2012, ruled in favor of a previously deported illegal alien from Mexico, Gustavo Carrillo-Lopez, who filed a motion to dismiss an indictment against him for illegal reentry, claiming it is discriminatory.

Specifically, Carrillo-Lopez argued that Section 1326 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) has racist origins and is therefore in violation of the equal protection guarantee of the Fifth Amendment.

Du granted Carrillo-Lopez’s motion and ruled that the law criminalizing illegal reentry is unconstitutional because she claims it is “racist” against “Latinx” illegal aliens, though she admits there is “no publicly available data” showing federal prosecutors target Hispanic illegal aliens over illegal aliens from other regions of the world.

Du writes:

Because Carrillo-Lopez has established that Section 1326 was enacted with a discriminatory purpose and that the law has a disparate impact on Latinx persons, and the government fails to show that Section 1326 would have been enacted absent racial animus—and as further discussed below—the Court will grant the Motion. [Emphasis added]

Because Carrillo-Lopez has demonstrated that Section 1326 disparately impacts Latinx people and that the statute was motivated, at least in part, by discriminatory intent, the Court finds that he has. Finally, the Court reviews whether the government has shown that Section 1326 would have been enacted absent discriminatory intent. Because the government fails to so demonstrate, the Court finds its burden has not been met and that, consequently, Section 1326 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fifth Amendment. [Emphasis added]

Carrillo-Lopez argues, convincingly, that Section 1326 disparately impacts Mexican and Latinx defendants. While no publicly available data exists as to the national origin of those prosecuted under Section 1326, over 97% of persons apprehended at the border in 2000 were of Mexican decent, 86% in 2005, and 87% in 2010. [Emphasis added]

The case could go before the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, but only if President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) appeals Du’s ruling. If not, Republican attorneys general would have to intervene in the case to ensure it is appealed in court.

Should the case be appealed, either way, and the Ninth Circuit affirms Du’s ruling, the case would have to be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) on appeal.

The latest DOJ data indicates that in Fiscal Year 2019, nearly 25,500 previously deported illegal aliens were prosecuted for illegally reentering the U.S. In Fiscal Year 2018, almost 24,000 were prosecuted.

The case is U.S. v. Gustavo Carrillo-Lopez, No. 3:20-cr-00026 in United States District Court for the District of Nevada.

Arrests of Convicted Sex Offender Migrants by Border Patrol Jump 171 Percent in 2021

Arrests of migrants with previous convictions for sexual offenses jumped 171 percent during the first 10 months of Fiscal Year 2021, according to a report from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Agents apprehended 423 criminal aliens with convictions for sexual offenses as of July 31.

An Arrests of Individuals with Criminal Convictions report published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection reveals that Border Patrol agents arrested 423 migrants with previous convictions for sexual offenses. This is the highest year recorded during the six years included in the report.

The arrest of 423 migrants in 10 months represents an increase of 171 percent over the Fiscal Year 2020 entire year’s report of 156 arrests. And, the 2020 arrests are up from only 58 during Fiscal Year 2019.

CBP officials told Breitbart Texas on Thursday that the report includes migrants with convictions of sexual offenses both in the United States and in other countries. Many of these migrants were convicted of sexual offense crimes in the United States and were subsequently deported following the completion of court-ordered sentences. The report also does not distinguish between sexual offenses committed against adults or children.

Breitbart Texas reports extensively on the arrest of migrants with criminal histories that include sexual offenses. These reports also include the arrests of previously deported child sex offenders.

On August 18, Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector arrested multiple previously deported sex offenders, Breitbart reported. Those included two men arrested in the Laredo Sector with previous convictions for indecency with a child–sexual contact and sexual assault.

Sex Offenders, Gang Members Arrested After Crossing Texas Border

Border Patrol agents and CBP officers in South Texas arrested multiple deported sex offenders, a fugitive accused of rape, and two MS-13 gang members. The arrests come as agents in Texas-based border sectors face a massing surge in migrants illegally entering the United States.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer assigned to the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge in Laredo, Texas, on August 18 observed a vehicle approaching for inspection and entry into the U.S. The officer referred the driver to a secondary inspection area for investigation, according to information received from CBP officials.

During a secondary inspection, officers conducted a biometric background search and identified one man as Jose Jorge Romanis Beltran, a 28-year-old Mexican national. The search of the criminal databases uncovered an active felony warrant from Bernalillo County, New Mexico.

The fugitive is wanted on a charge of rape — strong-arm, officials stated. New Mexico law defines “strong-arm” rape as the use of force by the attacker without the use of a weapon.

CBP officers confirmed the active arrest warrant and arrested the fugitive. They turned the Mexican national over to the Webb County Sheriff’s Office where he will await extradition to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office in Albuquerque.

Border Patrol agents assigned to the Hebbronville Station on August 15 arrested a group of 11 migrants on a farm located southwest of Mirando City, Texas, according to information obtained from Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials. During processing, the agents identified one of the men as Israel Hernandez-Valente, a 42-year-old Mexican national.

A criminal database search revealed a previous conviction for Indecency with a Child, Sexual Contact in 2017, officials stated.

Two days earlier, Laredo South Station agents arrested a group of ten migrants in south Laredo. During processing, the agents identified one of the men as Juan Martinez-Martinez, a 33-year-old Mexican national. Court records indicate Martinez-Martinez has an extensive criminal history. His criminal record includes a conviction in Arkansas for Sexual Assault in 2009, the report revealed.

Agents turned both men over to U.S. Marshall’s Service deputies to await prosecution for illegal re-entry after removal. If convicted, the two men could face up to 20 years in federal prison.

Further south along the Texas border, Rio Grande Valley Sector agents apprehended two members of the hyperviolent transnational criminal gang, MS-13.

McAllen Station agents working the border near Mission, Texas, on August 14 apprehended a group of migrants after they illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico, officials reported. During processing, agents identified one of the men as a 44-year-old Salvadoran national who is a confirmed MS-13 gang member. A records check uncovered a conviction by a California court in 1996 for murder. That same year, he received a conviction for being an accessory to a felony. For those crimes, he received sentences of three years each and was later deported. In 2005, a federal court convicted him of illegal re-entry after deportation. For that, he received a sentence of 71 months — nearly double that of the sentence he received for murder by the California court.

On August 16, Falfurrias Station agents found another MS-13 gang member while patrolling the ranches near the U.S. Highway 281 immigration checkpoint. Agents confirmed he is an MS-13 gang member who had previously been deported from the U.S.

“U.S. Border Patrol has arrested 8,531 criminal migrants this fiscal year,” Border Patrol officials stated. “RGV agents apprehended more than 1,700 of those migrants.”

Nolte: Dangerous Joe Biden Delivers Border, Economic, Coronavirus, Crime, and Overseas Chaos

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 25: U.S. President Joe Biden talks to reporters during the first news conference of his presidency in the East Room of the White House on March 25, 2021 in Washington, DC. On the 64th day of his administration, Biden, 78, faced questions about the coronavirus pandemic, …

While we’re watching all the terrible chaos break out in Afghanistan, His Fraudulency Joe Biden and the Democrats are also serving up plenty of chaos right here at home.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t keep an eye on Afghanistan, not with thousands of American civilians trapped behind enemy lines after a jihadist takeover. But let’s do two things at once and remember all the chaos Joe Biden and the Democrat party are wreaking on the home front.

You know, when Donald Trump was president, all that chaos was mostly manufactured by the fake news media; that chaos was fabricated by a Deep State determined to use lies (like the Russia Collusion Hoax and the Ukraine phone call) to foment a coup. Granted, some chaos was created by Trump himself and his mercurial personality.

Still, the chaos we’re now seeing is all a result of Joe Biden and a feckless, hapless, and totally incompetent Democrat party — and it’s real, very real.

Afghanistan Chaos

The withdrawal in Afghanistan did not have to be this way. Biden did not have to break Trump’s deal with the Taliban for a May 1 withdrawal. Biden did not have to remove our troops before every American was safely evacuated. He did not have to leave behind billions of operational U.S. weapons for the Taliban to pick up. He did not have to choose Summer to withdraw when the Taliban are fully operational, instead of Winter when the Taliban are scattered around waiting out the cold weather at their respective homes.

As a result, we now have thousands of American civilians trapped in a terrorist hell being told by their own government that they are on their own.

Economic Chaos

Biden inherited a recovering economy and decided to strangle it with a lunatic amount of government spending that created record inflation. As a result, all the wage gains during the Trump years have been wiped out by an explosion in the cost of life’s most basic necessities: food, housing, and energy.

Gasoline alone is up a dollar a gallon, which is a brutal tax on the working poor.

Nevertheless, Biden keeps spending, kills oil pipelines, and refuses to allow oil exploration.

And now all signs point to a coming recession.

Border Chaos

Biden has opened up our southern border to anyone who wants to come in, regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated or infected. As a result, we currently have the worst southern border crisis in decades after Trump had pretty much solved the problem and stabilized it.

Coronavirus Crisis

According to the CDC’s own math, the  Trump vaccine is working about as well as anyone could have dreamed, and yet Biden has lost total control of the messaging. As a result, masks, panic, and the economic devastation that comes with the panic have returned.

The fear-porn peddlers have turned a nothing breakthrough issue for the vaccinated into a false crisis that says the vaccine doesn’t really work.

What an unforced error.

Crime Crisis

Violent crime is up, and in many cases, way up, in almost every major Democrat-controlled city. But, again, this is another thing that did not have to happen. But after Democrats embraced the domestic terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter, emptied prisons, basically legalized rioting, and ended bail, all the gains against violent crime over the last two decades have been erased.

Overseas Chaos

It’s not just Afghanistan. After years of Middle East stability under Trump (including peace treaties), rockets are again being fired into Israel, Islamic terrorists are emboldened by Biden’s capitulation in Afghanistan, as are the Chinese and Iranians.

The world is much less safe than it was seven months ago, and America is not only less safe, it is less free.

The Days of “Catch and Release” May Be Numbered
Judge moves “to prevent the continued systemic violation” of the law

Washington, D.C. (August 17, 2021) - A Center for Immigration Studies analysis examines the decision by a federal judge to block the Biden administration’s termination of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), better known as “Remain in Mexico”. The court made clear that the administration has three choices: Detain illegal migrants, remove or expel them, or send them back across the border. Crucial to the judge’s decision was section 235(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which requires that aliens be detained until they are granted asylum (or other relief) or are removed.

Andrew Arthur, the Center’s resident fellow in law and policy and author of the analysis, said, “If Judge Kacsmaryk’s 'Remain in Mexico' order stands (and it should), the days of 'catch, release, and disperse into the interior of the United States' at the Southwest border are numbered. And the migrant surge there will subside, because if they cannot be free in the United States, few migrants will make the trip to begin with.”

MPP was implemented in January 2019 in response to the surge of aliens coming to the border for whom there was not sufficient detention space and allowed DHS to return non-Mexican migrants caught entering illegally or without proper documentation back to Mexico to await removal hearings. They were then paroled into the United States long enough to apply for asylum, while the Mexican government agreed to provide them with protection for the duration of their stays there.

The Biden administration terminated MPP despite the continued lack of detention space – there are about 2,500 “family unit” spaces, but more than 308,000 migrants in “family units” (FMU) have been apprehended at that border this fiscal year. Just short of 288,000 of these families have come in the six months since the inauguration.

MPP removed the enticement of a quick passage for migrants — mainly from the Northern Triangle — to this country with the expectation of entering illegally with weak and/or fraudulent asylum claims. In January 2019, DHS found that 90 percent of asylum claims by nationals of the Northern Triangle countries were denied.

Their cases nonetheless clogged the immigration court system, making it much more difficult for aliens with valid persecution claims to be granted asylum.

To ensure that the administration complies, the judge ordered it to provide him, on the 15th of every month, monthly totals of aliens encountered at the Southwest border, the number expelled under Title 42 or the INA, its total detention capacity and usage rate, the total number of applicants for admission, the total number of applicants for admission who were paroled, and the total number of applicants for admission who were released on parole “or otherwise”. (Emphasis in original.)


 

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant

Welfare

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/04/study-more-than-7-in-10-california-immigrant-households-are-on-welfare/

 

More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.

The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.

Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.

All four states with the largest foreign-born populations, including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of native-born households in Texas are on welfare.

In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born households use welfare.

President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

As Breitbart News reported, the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.

Texas Sheriff’s Deputies Rescue Suffocating Migrants from U-Haul Truck

RefugioRescue
RCSO
2:17

On Monday, a dispatcher working for the Refugio County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) answered two 911 emergency calls coming from a local convenience store. The distressed callers described cries for help and banging noises coming from the back of a U-Haul cargo rental truck.

Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched and located the truck. The deputies found 34 migrants trapped inside the cargo compartment. According to the RCSO deputies, the passengers were suffering from severe dehydration and risked suffocation. The rear of the truck was extremely hot and unventilated, affording the migrants little air to breathe.

The group of 34 migrants consisted of mostly adult males, but the deputies noted some minors in tow. Due to the condition of the migrants, RCSO deputies summoned their county EMS and Volunteer Fire Department. The deputies also called for law enforcement backup and medical assistance from neighboring Victoria County.

Refugio County deputies transferred custody of the 34 migrants to Border Patrol for processing. The driver of the cargo truck was arrested and now faces charges of Smuggling of Persons with Serious Bodily Injury and/or Likelihood of Death as well as Smuggling of Persons Under 18 Years of Age.

The charges, under Texas law, are considered second-degree felonies and carry a term of imprisonment ranging from 2-20 years, as well as a fine not to exceed $10,000. The charges can be upgraded to first-degree if serious bodily injury or death occurs.

Refugio County is located along the Texas Gulf Coast, 46 miles north of Corpus Christi. The county seat is more than 180 miles from the U.S.-Mexico Border.

The Del Rio Sector of the Border Patrol is reporting a dramatic increase in the number of rescues since October, more than 1,850 overall. The number represents a 1,400 percent increase over 2020. The rescues, like other metrics reported by the agency, are increasing this year at a phenomenal pace and will most likely break any standing record.

The number of rescues represents a small portion of the overall apprehensions in the sector this year. As of July, the Del Rio Sector reported 182,593 migrant encounters since October. The rescues account for slightly over 1 percent of the total. In the agency, a rescue is counted when a migrant suffers serious injury, requires life saving medical treatment, or is in life-threatening peril during an encounter.

In the previous week since Monday, the sector is reporting 85 rescues related to heat or traumatic injuries on freight trains. Migrant apprehensions on rails have also increased substantially within the sector.

The agency has a long history of preparing for situations that require agents to respond to migrants needing life-saving care no matter the surroundings.

In 1998, the Border Patrol created an operational component aimed at reducing migrant deaths along the southwest border. The BORSTAR unit, short for Border Search, Trauma and Rescue, is comprised of Border Patrol agents who are provided with specialized training in swift water rescue techniques, air medical deployment, and mountain rescues.

Rank-and-file Border Patrol agents, although lacking in the specialized training to conduct rescues, account for many saves annually. Most are prepared to administer first aid, control bleeding, and perform CPR. They enter waterways to prevent migrant drownings, treat for temperature related illnesses, and in some cases, carry migrants out of remote areas when they are too injured to walk.

The accuracy of the metric is at risk of being impacted, however, by the enormity of the challenges facing the agency. As the Border Patrol struggles to process, feed, and care for the largest influx of migrants in decades, routine patrols in most areas of the southwest border have been reduced to all-time lows. In the Del Rio Sector, most areas are void of any significant Border Patrol field presence.

As the Border Patrol is forced to reduce patrols, the number of rescues may tend to flatten as no agents are in remote areas—potentially leading to more discovered bodies in exchange.
