Multiple Sex Offenders, Fugitives, Gang Members Arrested After Crossing Southwest Border
Border Patrol agents along the southwest border with Mexico arrested multiple criminal aliens and gang members during the past week. Those arrested after illegally crossing the border include sex offenders, child sex offenders, an accused murderer from Mexico, and dangerous gang members.
Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings tweeted a report that his agents arrested two sex offenders and eight gang members during the past week. The arrests occurred after migrants illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Texas.
One migrant, a Salvadoran national, received a conviction in 2019 from a Colorado court for sexual contact without consent. The court sentenced the man to two years in prison. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers deported the man following his confinement.
Also on May 31, McAllen Station agents arrested an Ecuadoran migrant. A records check revealed convictions for sexual abuse, assault, criminal use drug paraphernalia and multiple DUIs.
The Rio Grande Valley Sector agents also arrested eight gang members. The gangs represented in the arrests include MS-13 and 18th Street gang members. One has a criminal history of simple and aggravated homicide.
Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted a report of a Honduran migrant arrested near Eagle Pass, Texas. During processing, Eagle Pass South Station agents discovered the man has a conviction for indecency with a child involving sexual contact.
Big Bend Sector Chief Patrol Agent Sean L. McGoffin tweeted photos of two criminal arrests made this week. Those include a U.S. citizen who is now charged with Aggravated Felon in Possession of Firearm and a Mexican national identified as a member of the Paisa Gang. The gang member now faces federal felony charges for illegal re-entry after removal.
Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Chris T. Clem reported Melton Station agents arrested a Mexican national on Tuesday night. A records check uncovered a 2001 conviction by a California court for rape. One day earlier, Yuma Station agents arrested a Salvadoran man with a criminal history that includes a conviction by a Texas court in 2004 for murder.
Yuma Station agents made another significant arrest on Sunday night when Yuma Station agents arrested a Mexican national with a conviction from a Wisconsin court in 2009 for Sexual Assault of a Child and delivery of cocaine.
El Centro Sector also made significant arrests this week when they found two men with convictions for sexual offenses, Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino tweeted.
In total, agents from these sectors stopped ten criminal aliens and at least nine dangerous gang members from making their way back into the U.S. interior.
Between October 1, 2021, and April 30, 2022, Border Patrol agents arrested nearly 6,000 criminal aliens who illegally re-entered the U.S. They also arrested nearly 400 migrants with gang affiliations, according to reports obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Former Bush Officials: Amnesty for Illegal Aliens ‘Vital to the Future’ of American Economy
Former officials who worked in the George W. Bush administration are calling on Republicans and Democrats to provide amnesty for illegal aliens, suggesting the policy is “vital to the future” of the American economy.
Chuck Conner, Bush’s former agriculture secretary, and Douglas Baker, Bush’s former senior director for border and transportation security policy, are lobbying lawmakers to back the Farm Workforce Modernization Act — an amnesty that would give green cards to as many as 2.1 million illegal aliens who work on United States farms.
In an op-ed for Fox News, Conner and Baker wrote:
As former officials who served in the Bush administration, we see an urgent need to address the labor shortage in the agricultural industry by fixing our immigration system. That would allow farmworkers to contribute to the economy free from uncertainty and fear and keep food on the tables of America’s families at lower costs. [Emphasis added]
Last year, the House of Representatives passed the Farm Workforce Modernization Act on a bipartisan basis. The bill was a compromise solution that would permit undocumented farmworkers to earn legal status through continued employment in the agricultural sector and would make critical reforms to the H-2A agricultural guest worker program, including streamlining the application process, and allowing for year-round temporary agricultural workers. [Emphasis added]
…
When the Senate passes a bipartisan immigration solution for the agricultural sector, it will not only address a looming crisis, but it will send a message to millions of farmers and ranchers during a period of tremendous uncertainty in rural America. Let’s not get stymied by the partisan gridlock in Washington. A bipartisan immigration solution for farmworkers represents a unique opportunity to make progress on a priority that is vital to the future of agriculture and our economy. [Emphasis added]
Last year, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce lobbied lawmakers to pass the farm amnesty, stating that the policy is “critically important to the business community.” The Chamber this year has lobbied for a plan that would double legal immigration levels and give amnesty to most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal alien population.
The lobbying for the farm amnesty comes as major lawsuits and trials are underway that reveal severe labor abuses in the nation’s legal immigration system.
Late last year, the Department of Justice released a 54-count indictment against 24 individuals, many of them illegal aliens, with operating a “modern-day slavery” scheme that utilized the H-2A visa program to traffic foreign workers into U.S. farm jobs — allegedly raping, kidnapping, and threatening them in the process.
Most recently, a Florida-based company was accused of operating a Missouri farm that imported foreign H-2A visa workers to cut labor costs, denying them pay, and housing them in an old jail. Last year, a handful of black Americans filed suit against United States farms along the Mississippi Delta for allegedly replacing them with imported H-2A visa workers from South Africa.
In 1997, slightly more than 16,000 foreign H-2A visa workers were imported to take American agriculture jobs. By 2021, that number had exploded to more than 258,000. About 93 percent of all H-2A visas are awarded to Mexican nationals.
Annually, more than 1.2 million legal immigrants are awarded green cards, and another 1.4 million foreign nationals are given visas to take U.S. jobs. In addition, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are added to the U.S. population every year.
Today, 11.7 million Americans remain jobless and nearly five million more are underemployed. All want full-time employment with high wages and competitive benefits.
