MEXICO'S BIGGEST EXPORTS TO AMERICA: CRIMINALS and DRUGS

Are They Sending Their Best?

Democrats and the press won’t let us forget what Trump said following his descent down the escalator at Trump tower, when he announced his candidacy for President of the United States.  He was scorned for what he said.  After all, only a racist could utter those unforgivable words. Democratic candidates have joined in the chorus and haven’t hesitated to  remind us any chance they get.  Those now infamous words are:
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.  They’re sending people that have lots of problems, They’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
For the  purpose of our discussion here, let’s focus on the part of his statement regarding drugs, crime, and rapists.  Trump believes these are serious concerns that truly contribute to an unsafe environment for the most vulnerable among us.  For this reason, Trump has spent a great deal of his political capital on stopping the flow of illegal traffic crossing our southern border and has encountered roadblocks from Democrats and the press throughout this entire process. 
Sen. Cory Booker has said, “On day one, I will make sure that number one, we end the I.C.E. policies and the Customs and Border policies that are violating the human rights.”  Sen. Elizabeth Warren said: "Offer a home to refugees. That is who we are. That's our values. That's part of what we do."  Julian Castro said, “So instead of building a wall or closing the border, we should choose compassion instead of cruelty.” Sen. Kamala Harris said: “We welcome refugees and bring people out of the shadows.” 
Clearly, these candidates do not consider immigration to be a security issue. Trump does, and let’s look at some of the reasons why. Rape, drug sales, murder… Such crimes have been committed by illegals again, and again, and again, and again. One of these men, who raped a 16-year-old girl at knife point, is the father of 10 children, six of whom are under the age of 18. In another case, two illegal immigrants raped an 11-year-old girl.  What do all these men have in common?  They all are illegal immigrants and all their crimes were  committed in a single Maryland county which happens to be a de facto sanctuary county.
No, illegal immigration is not always a victimless crime, as many want you to believe. One source, AFAIRus.org, has tabulated numerous other crimes.  For the month of July, 2019 they included:
  • Baudilio Salomon Diaz Ambrocio, a 17-year-old Guatemalan native, so violently raped a 7-year-old girl in Marietta, Georgia so brutally that she required hospitalization and surgery. Diaz Ambrocio entered the U.S. in March 2018 and was subsequently released as an unaccompanied minor to a sponsor on the basis of a promise to appear for a November 6 hearing.
  • An illegal from Guatemala, 20-year-old Cesar Chavez (a.k.a. Cesar Augusto Chavez-Niz) sexually assaulted and attempted to rape a 12-year-old girl following Independence Day fireworks near her home in Marietta, Georgia. According to news reports, she was able to get free several times but Chavez was unrelenting, even holding her against a vehicle and hugging her from behind, touching her chest and thighs and kissing around her mouth and neck. Charged with false imprisonment and child molestation, he remains in jail in ICE custody.
  • On July 16, Marvin Oswaldo Escobar-Orellana shot and killed Rossibeth Flores-Rodriguez and her 11-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son. Escobar-Orellana was a guest in the residence of the family in Des Moines, Iowa. Escobar-Orellana is a twice-deported illegal alien from Guatemala.
  • On July 22, Los-Angeles-based members of the brutally violent MS-13 gang were arrested and charged with a series of horrific murders which included hacking victims to death with machetes and ripping their hearts out of their chests. At least 14 gang members were illegal aliens -- 13 from El Salvador and one from Honduras. “In multiple cases, the illegal aliens were ordered to be removed, petitioned to bring relatives to the U.S., were granted or denied work permits, attempted to get asylum, and claimed to be the victims of crimes.”
  • On July 18, Andres Fuentes-Castro, a citizen of El Salvador, was arrested on three counts of first-degree rape against a child between 2014 and 2016. Fuentes-Castro was initially arrested in 2007 during a traffic stop in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. However, he was released because of his Temporary Protected Status, which he ultimately failed to update. He also did not return home to El Salvador once his status expired in 2010.
This is only part of an archive assembled by AFAIRus.org of serious crimes  committed by illegals during the month of July 2019.  Prior to that, they tabulated 26 similar crimes for January through June of this year -- with six more months left in the year.
In February, The Washington Post reported:
Incidents of smugglers avoiding checkpoints do occur. In December, near an immigration checkpoint in Arizona -- that is, at a location within the United States  -- CBP officers spotted a vehicle that appeared to be attempting to avoid the stop. They pursued; the vehicle allegedly held 65 pounds of meth, and the driver was arrested. 
When a 17-year-old man like Baudilio Salomon Diaz Ambrocio is released and rapes a seven-year-old little girl, I would ask Senator Booker whose “human rights have been violated?”  When 14 members of an MS-13 Gang kill and chop the hearts out of their victims, I would ask Senator Warren, Is that “who we are?”  When Andres Fuentes-Castro repeatedly rapes a child for two years, I would ask Kamala Harris, should we welcome all “refugees and  for whom is it “a humanitarian and a family issue?” When a 20-year-old Guatemalan native man attempts to rape a 12-year-old girl, I would ask JuIian Castro where compassion comes in. I would ask them all if they thought these Latin American countries are only sending us their best.
Now, am I, too, a racist for asking these questions? Don’t even go there. You see, I have a beautiful little 10-year-old  Ethiopian granddaughter living in my home. She was adopted and brought here legally.  The thought  of her being treated the way some of these animals have treated other little girls her age, is unbearable.  Move over, Donald Trump, because I have to join you.  I agree -- they are not always “sending their best.”  We should not be playing Russian Roulette by not knowing who is crossing our borders or overstaying their visas.



Illegal Immigrant Indicted In Federal Court After 9 Deportations


The United States Attorney's office in the Eastern District of North Carolina announced on Wednesday that two illegal immigrants have been indicted in federal court on separate illegal re-entry charges.  
According to a press release sent out by U.S. Attorney Robert Higdon, a 28-year-old Mexican national named Eduardo Lopez-Hernandez was indicted after being apprehended in Wayne County. Lopez-Hernandez has been previously deported nine times. He has been charged with illegal re-entry four times. 
A 62-year-old Mexican national named Miguel Salgado-Naranjo was also arrested in Johnston County after allegedly being deported for selling cocaine. According to the press release, if convicted, he "would face maximum penalties of 20 years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and a term of supervised release following any term of imprisonment." 
These indictments come just weeks after North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper vetoed a state bill requiring local police to cooperate with federal authority such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"This bill, in addition to being unconstitutional, weakens law enforcement in North Carolina by mandating sheriffs to do the job of federal agents, using local resources that could hurt their ability to protect their counties," Cooper told media
Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary McFadden also spoke out about the bill. "I recognize that other sheriffs and communities may have differing views and policies about immigration," McFadden said. "However, we all can agree that HB370 usurps the power of every sheriff and local community to set their own policies."
Earlier this summer, ICE directly blamed McFadden for endangering American lives after the federal authority tracked down an alleged illegal alien child rapist who was released from custody by McFadden. 
"This is yet another example of a clear public safety threat being released onto the streets of Mecklenburg County rather than into ICE custody due to the current sheriff’s policy on ICE non-cooperation,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Atlanta Field Office Director Sean Gallagher said at the time.
 "The Mecklenburg County sheriff’s decision to restrict cooperation with ICE serves as an open invitation to aliens who commit criminal offenses that Mecklenburg County is a safe haven for persons seeking to evade federal authorities, and residents of Mecklenburg County are less safe today than last year due to these policies," he added.



Four Suspected Sinaloa Cartel Meth Labs Seized in Northern Mexico

Mexican security personnel in the northern state of Sinaloa seized four clandestine methamphetamine labs which are believed connected to the Sinaloa Cartel in the past week. Since 2018, officials busted more than 25 similar labs in the state.

The Office of the Secretariat of the Mexican Navy (SEMAR) announced the seizure of four labs within the surrounding areas of Culiacán. Officials discovered 1,014 gallons of liquid methamphetamine, 774 gallons of liquid amphetamine, and a large quantity of precursor chemicals.
The raids were carried out on August 27 and 30. The four laboratories were dismantled and seized items were turned over to investigative personnel from the state prosecutor’s office.
This seizure fits in a series of large lab raids in Culiacán, which is home base for the Sinaloa Cartel. In June, security elements discovered a clandestine lab in rural Alcoyonqui, resulting in the seizure of 220 to 330 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and 1,717 gallons of precursors.
Breitbart Texas reported on multiple labs recently seized in the area. Those included a case earlier in July when security personnel discovered a plant connected to the Sinaloa Cartel. Officials estimated the haul to be worth $170 million.
In August 2018, Breitbart Texas reported on three busts totaling more than 120,000 pounds of methamphetamine. Additionally, officials carried out numerous meth, fentanyl, and heroin seizures along smuggling routes in northern Mexico.
In June 2019, the Mexican Navy also seized two tons of drugs in Puerto Libertad, Sonora, according to local reports.
This past Saturday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Calexico East port of entry seized more than 190 pounds of methamphetamine concealed inside the fuel tank of a charter bus.
On July 19, Border Patrol agents working in the Yuma Sector seized 100 pounds of methamphetamine. The load had an estimated street value of $229,000, according to a Homeland Security release.
The availability of high grade, low priced meth is blamed for the continued cartel-related street violence in Tijuana and Juárez as low-level dealers fight for market footholds.

Immigration, Citizenship, and the Federal Justice System, 1998-2018


By Mark Motivans


DOJ Office of Justice Programs, August 2019


https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/icfjs9818.pdf

Highlights: Based on fiscal years— The portion of total federal arrests that took place in the five judicial districts along the In 1998, 63% of all federal arrests were U.S.-Mexico border almost doubled from 1998 of U.S. citizens; in 2018, 64% of all (33%) to 2018 (65%) (table 6). federal arrests were of non-U.S. citizens Ninety-five percent of the increase in federal (figure 1 and table 4). arrests across 20 years was due to immigration Non-U.S. citizens, who make up 7% of the offenses (table 1). U.S. population (per the U.S. Census Bureau In 2018, 90% of suspects arrested for federal for 2017) , accounted for 15% of all federal immigration crimes were male; 10% were arrests and 15% of prosecutions in U.S. district female (table 9).

 

Rich part of Washington, D.C. goes tooth-and-claw to prevent new child-migrant shelter in its neighborhood

 

Putting on its Victorian gentleman suit (pace Tom Wolfe), the Washington Post's editorial board tut-tuts a rich part of Washington, D.C. and its political patrons, for pulling out all stops to prevent construction of a child-migrant shelter in its fancy environs.
MANY AMERICANS are rightly outraged by the Trump administration’s treatment of migrant children, who have been separated from parents and ill-treated by authorities. Democrats have been understandably eager to distance themselves from such policies — a stance that can result in knee-jerk opposition even to sensible practices in effect during the Obama administration.
That might explain the nearly uniform outcry from Washington-area politicians incensed at federal plans to build new shelters for migrant children in Northern Virginia and the District . The shelters, state-licensed and similar to scores across the county in operation since before President Trump took office, would help move migrant children out of squalid, cramped Border Patrol stations near the U.S.-Mexico border. They would provide a way station for unaccompanied minors while federal officials seek to place them with U.S.-based relatives or foster families.
But local politicians, nearly all Democrats, have balked at cooperating with federal authorities on any immigration matter. They have denounced the proposed new shelters with objections that smack of NIMBYism masquerading as humane concern for children. This month, the administration of D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) enacted emergency rules that blocked a planned federal shelter.
Just some misplaced never-Trumpism, maybe with a whiff of NIMBYism?
Actually, the area has been plagued by some of these child migrants, getting its name in the news more than once for its gruesome murders. Here's one of them, courtesy of, sure enough, the Washington Post:
Edwin Rios, 18, of Southeast Washington has been charged with murder in the killing of Ariana Funes-Diaz, 14, Prince George’s County police announced Friday.
Funes-Diaz was slain April 18 by MS-13 gang members who feared that she would go to police about a kidnapping and robbery that had occurred in the District, prosecutors said.
Funes-Diaz was lured to a tunnel in Riverdale, Md., where she was forced to strip and then was beaten with a baseball bat and cut with a machete in an attack that was recorded on camera, charging documents state.
Her body was abandoned in the woods for a month before police found it in a creek near where she was attacked, police said.
Three others have been charged as adults in the case: Joel Escobar, 17, of Northeast Washington; Cynthia Hernandez-Nucamendi, 14, of Lothian; and Josue Fuentes-Ponce, 16, of Bladensburg.
The case sparked wider national attention after the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency rebuked Maryland officials, saying they had released Escobar and Fuentes-Ponce at the close of an unrelated case without notifying federal immigration authorities.
Those are some child migrants authorities are getting a new shelter pipeline set up for. 
The map here says that Prince George's County in Maryland is about six miles from the Takoma district in Washington, D.C. where the resistance is.
It's indisputable that bringing in more unvetted migrants mean there are going to be more of these killings going on, something that might just affect property values and the quality of life in this tony district.
Here's a local NBC news report on what's going on in that area, keying off that same gruesome MS-13 murder commited by some illegal child migrants. I have transcribed (and boldfaced) some choice snippets:



"to get a better understanding of how MS-13 has evolved and why we're seeing so many gruesome crimes..."
...
'Two of the city's four murders last year -- MS-13."
...
"More than five years ago, we were given a special invitation travel with law enforcement to El Salvador to learn about the MS-13 gang and its ties to our area."
...
"Since the time that we went to El Salvador till now, would you say the gang has a larger presence in our area or a smaller presence?"
"Large."
"What would you attribute that to?"
"Recruitment.
...
"And he says kids are entering the gang at a much younger age. You've seen in our area MS-13 gang members as young as nine years old."
"Starting the process. But you look at them and say 'innocence.' (Inaudible) may not know right from wrong, but the gang knows that. So they'll take that for their benefit."
...
"They feel or they believe that a juvenile can commit the same violence as an adult would such as a stabbing or a decapitation but they think nothing is going to happen to them in the judicial system. So that's why the target is juveniles."
...
So many gruesome crimes? Gangs increasing? Recruitment younger and younger? Child migrants here alone looking for some "family"? Gangs know child decapitators won't get punished? With that sort of thing going on, you can bet the migrant center is going to be a bonanza for gang recruitment and a new wave of gruesome crimes. Funny how these asylum seekers always seem to end up in U.S. areas where those gangs they're supposedly fleeing are right there waiting for them.
The 2001 "missing intern" Chandra Levy murder, even closer to Takoma than Prince George's County, by the way, was also done by one of El Salvador's illegal immigrants.
Now the battle is couched in "concern" for the comfort of illegal child migrants along with opposition to President Trump, even though, as the Post notes, the policy is Obama's. And the crocodile tears are flowing.
The Post rightly notes that if the child migrant center is not built, the kids are going to be waiting in squalid detention camps down at the border and then end up somewhere in maybe the Southwest instead, a place that has long complained about border crime and the problem unvetted migrants bring. In fact, leftist elites have always been sheltered from this kind of thing, happy to let the whole issue of unvetted foreigners getting in without enforcement to be the border's problem, up until Trump at least. The migrant community that rich Washington D.C. has encouraged for its cheap gardeners and maids -- and "can't live without" -- as the Daily Beast says, has always been insulated from the real problems of allowing all unvetted comers into the coontry. Well, now the place for the child migrant shelter is being rightly placed in an affluent part of Washington so they can live with the consequences of their choices, too.
It sounds like President Trump or whoever he's got on the federal side trying to build this shelter is combining proximity to the Salvadoran illegal immigrant community - Washington's largest - with a little taste of the medicine these liberals would like to inflict on the border regions and poorer parts of the country.
I can't think of a better place to put that shelter. Let them live with the result of their own hypocrisy.

DOJ: 64% of Federal Arrests in 2018 Were of Non-U.S. Citizens








Listen to the Article!

By Terence P. Jeffrey | August 22, 2019 | 5:13 PM EDT

(CNSNews.com) - Approximately 64 percent of the arrests that the federal government made in fiscal 2018 were of non-U.S. citizens, according to a report released today by the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics.
That represents a dramatic change from just two decades ago, when approximately 63 percent of federal arrests were of citizens and only approximately 37 percent were of non-citizens.
According to the data for fiscal years 1998 through 2018 that the BJS released today, federal arrests of non-U.S. citizen first surpassed federal arrests of citizens in fiscal 2008.
“In 1998, 63 percent of all federal arrests were of U.S. citizens; in 2008, 64 percent of all federal arrests were of non-U.S. citizens,” said the BJS report (“Immigration, Citizenship, and the Federal Justice System, 1998-2018”).
Although immigration and immigration-related offenses accounted for the vast majority of non-U.S. citizen arrests, non-citizens were also over-represented among those arrested for non-immigration offenses, according to the report.
“The five crime types for which non-U.S. citizens were most likely to be prosecuted in U.S. district court in 2018 were illegal reentry (72 percent of prosecutions), drugs (13 percent of prosecutions), fraud (4.5 percent), alien smuggling (4 percent), and misuse of visas (2 percent).”
“Non-U.S. citizens, who make up 7 percent of the U.S. population (per the U.S. Census Bureau for 2017), accounted for 15 percent of prosecutions in U.S. district court for non-immigration crimes in 2018,” said the report.
“In 2018,” it said, “non-U.S. citizens accounted for 24 percent of all federal drug arrests and 25 percent of all federal property arrests, including 28 percent of all federal fraud arrests,” said the report.
Table 4 in the report lists the number of federal arrests by the country of citizenship of the individual arrested for the fiscal years from 1998 through 2018.
The table shows that the largest total number of federal arrests in any of those years came in the latest year, fiscal 2018, when the federal government made 195,771 arrests.
That was up 88.5 percent from the 103,866 total arrests that the federal government made in fiscal 1998.
Of the 195,771 that the federal government arrested in fiscal 2018, 125,027—or 63.9 percent—were non-U.S. citizens.
That was up 233.5 percent from the 37,486 non-U.S. citizens the federal government arrested in fiscal 1998.
At the same time that the federal government was arresting 125,027 non-U.S. citizens in fiscal 2018, it was arresting 70,542 U.S. citizens.
That was up 10.0 percent from the 64,137 U.S. citizens the federal government arrested in fiscal 1998.
Of the 125,027 non-U.S. citizens that the federal government arrested in fiscal 2018, 78,062 (or 39.9 percent) were from Mexico; 39,858 (or 20.4 percent) were from Central America; and 7,107 (or 3.6 percent) were from other regions.
In the years since fiscal 1998, the most dramatic increase in the number of non-U.S. citizens arrested annually was among those from Central America.
From fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2018, the number of Mexicans arrested annually by the federal government grew from 28,388 to 78,062. That was an increase of 49,674—or 175 percent.
From fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2018, the number of Central Americans arrested annually by the federal government grew from 1,171 to 39,858. That was an increase of 38,687—or 3,303.8 percent.
From fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2018, the number of individuals from other regions arrested annually by the federal government declined from 7,927 to 7,107. That was a drop of 820—or 10.3 percent.

DOJ: Feds Arrested More Mexican Nationals than Americans in 2018

The total number of federal arrests of Mexican nationals living in the United States now exceeds the total number of federal arrests of American citizens, federal data reveals.

A new report by the Department of Justice (DOJ) finds that in 2018, the number of Mexican nationals arrested for federal crimes exceeded the number of American citizens who were arrested for federal crimes by about 8,000 arrests.
For example, more than 78,000 federal arrests of Mexicans were made last year. Compare that to the roughly 70,500 federal arrests made of American citizens the same year. Over 20 years, the number of federal arrests made of Mexican nationals in the U.S. has soared by 175 percent while federal arrests of Americans grew by only 10 percent.
Likewise, the number of federal arrests of non-U.S. citizens is nearly double the arrests of Americans. In 2018, law enforcement officials arrested more than 125,000 non-U.S. citizens for federal crimes — a 234 percent increase since 1998.
Central Americans in the U.S. have had the largest increase in federal arrests over the last two decades. In 1998, only about 1,200 Central Americans were arrested for federal crimes. Fast-forward to 2018, when nearly 40,000 Central Americans were arrested for federal crimes. This indicates an increase in federal arrests of more than 3,300 percent over the last 20 years.


DOJ: Federal Arrests of Foreigners More than Tripled in Last 20 Years

DOJ: Federal Arrests of Foreigners More Than Tripled in Last 20 Years



As Breitbart News reported, though non-U.S. citizens represent just seven percent of the total U.S. population, they accounted for 15 percent of all federal arrests and 15 percent of all prosecutions for non-immigration related crimes in 2018. This indicates that non-U.S. citizens were about 2.3 times as likely to be arrested or prosecuted for non-immigration related crimes.
For non-immigration offenses, the total of federal arrests for non-U.S. citizens between 1998 and 2018 increased nearly eight percent, and between 2017 and 2018 rose almost ten percent.
Non-U.S. citizens were most likely to be prosecuted for illegal re-entry, that is illegal aliens who have been previously deported, drugs, fraud, alien smuggling, and misuse of visas.
A 2018 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report discovered nearly all illegal and legal immigrants in U.S. federal prisons are from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Guatemala.
Between 2010 and 2015, the average annual cost to incarcerate criminal illegal and legal immigrants slightly decreased — as the criminal alien population slightly decreased as well — from $1.56 billion to about $1.42 billion. That cost is paid for by American taxpayers who are forced to offset the costs of mass immigration to the country.
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the overwhelming majority arriving through the process known as “chain migration,” whereby newly naturalized are able to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country. Between 2005 and 2017, chain migration, alone, brought nearly 10 million foreign nationals to the U.S.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND CRIME

The stunning numbers the Left cannot refute.



January 3, 2018
  


On December 21, 2017 the Department of Justice issued a press release, “Departments of Justice and Homeland Security Release Data on Incarcerated Aliens—94 Percent of All Confirmed Aliens in DOJ Custody Are Unlawfully Present.”

The initial statistic cited in the title of that DOJ press release shows that there is a truly significant distinction to be drawn between aliens who are lawfully present in the United States and aliens who are illegally present in the United States, either because they have entered the United States illegally or they have violated the terms of admission after entering the United States via the inspections procedure at ports of entry.

The press release begins with the following statement:

President Trump’s Executive Order on Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to collect relevant data and provide quarterly reports on data collection efforts. On Dec. 18, 2017, DOJ and DHS released the FY 2017 4th Quarter Alien Incarceration Report, complying with this order.  The report found that more than one-in-five of all persons in Bureau of Prisons custody were foreign born, and that 94 percent of confirmed aliens in custody were unlawfully present.

Although immigration anarchists have consistently manipulated language, engaged in tactics of bullying and intimidation and, when all else failed, flat-out lied about every aspect of immigration, the Trump administration is providing the truth.

The DOJ press release, upon which my commentary today is based, lays out the cold, hard and unequivocal facts. It is significant to note that the title of the press release included the phrase, “confirmed aliens in DOJ custody” because all too frequently aliens who face deportation make false claims to United States citizenship to avoid being deported.  Therefore there may even be more deportable aliens in federal custody, while the actual number of such aliens in local and state custody are unknown and unknowable particularly in Sanctuary Cities and Sanctuary States.

Here is an excerpt from the press release that provides some quick statistics and a paragraph that addresses the lack of information about aliens in city and state facilities.

A total of 58,766 known or suspected aliens were in DOJ custody at the end of FY 2017, including 39,455 persons in BOP custody and 19,311 in USMS custody. Of this total, 37,557 people had been confirmed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be aliens (i.e., non-citizens and non-nationals), while 21,209 foreign-born people were still under investigation by ICE to determine alienage and/or removability.

Among the 37,557 confirmed aliens, 35,334 people (94 percent) were unlawfully present. These numbers include a 92 percent unlawful rate among 24,476 confirmed aliens in BOP custody and a 97 percent unlawful rate among 13,081 confirmed aliens in USMS custody

This report does not include data on the foreign-born or alien populations in state prisons and local jails because state and local facilities do not routinely provide DHS or DOJ with comprehensive information about their inmates and detainees—which account for approximately 90 percent of the total U.S. incarcerated population.

For decades, the truth has been carefully kept from Americans by globalist politicians from both political parties.  They have been far more concerned about doing the bidding of the globalist special interest groups that fund their campaigns, than they have been about the threats that open borders and immigration anarchy pose to public safety and national security.

On April 19, 2016, towards the end of the Obama administration, the House Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security conducted a hearing on the topic, “The Real Victims of a Reckless and Lawless Immigration Policy: Families and Survivors Speak Out on the Real Cost of This Administration’s Policies.”

I wrote about that hearing in an article which also included links to statements made by Rep. Trey Gowdy, the Chairman of the subcommittee, who opened the hearing with his statement that set the tone for what would follow. Breitbart.com used one of Rep. Gowdy's statements as the title for their article, “Trey Gowdy: More Illegal Immigrants Convicted of Crimes At Large in the U.S. Than The Population of Pittsburgh.”

At that same hearing Congressman Lamar Smith noted that although it has been estimated that illegal aliens account for about 3% of the U.S. population, they account for 30% of all murders -- making illegal aliens 10 times more likely to commit murder than anyone else. Adding that huge number of at-large criminal aliens to the huge number of criminal aliens who are incarcerated in prisons provides a measure of the true scope of the immigration crisis that can only be solved by ramping up efforts and resources to secure our nation’s borders and enforce our nation’s immigration laws from within the interior of the United States.

The blunt honesty of Chairman Gowdy and Representative Smith contrasts directly with the propaganda spewed by globalists such as Jimmy Carter, the originator of the Orwellian  term "undocumented immigrant." 

Beginning with Carter’s administration, the globalist immigration anarchists have embarked on a campaign of deceit.  Their goal was to erase America’s borders and flood America with a virtually unlimited supply of cheap and exploitable workers, an unlimited supply of foreign tourists and foreign students and ultimately new voters who would be indebted to the politicians who made their presence in the United States possible.

To further obfuscate the truth, Carter demanded that all INS employees substitute the term “immigrant” for the term “alien” even though the term alien is an integral part of the immigration laws of the United States and is defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act simply as “Any person, not a citizen or national of the United States.  Under his campaign of deceit, illegal aliens were be referred to as  “undocumented immigrants” as though all that these illegal aliens lacked was a piece of paper. The truth is that aliens who run our borders are not undocumented, they are un-inspected.

Here is a bit of clarity: the difference between an illegal alien and an immigrant is compared to the difference between a burglar and a houseguest.

Today so-called sanctuary cities betray America, Americans and immigrants and pose a clear and immediate danger to public safety and national security as their leaders resort to similar Orwellian propaganda to justify their dangerous illegal policies. Those cities should be referred to as “magnet cities” because they attract transnational criminals, fugitives and terrorists and flood the labor market with illegal aliens who displace American and lawful immigrant workers and undermine wages and working conditions.

This past year Congress conducted hearings about America’s gang crisis, particularly MS-13, once again disclosing the deadly impact of failures of immigration law enforcement.

Today immigration anarchists continue to tell lies. They say that if local police were to work in coordination with immigration law enforcement authorities that illegal alien victims of crime would be fearful of coming forward to report crimes committed against them.  

In reality, visas are available for illegal alien crime victims that would enable them to remain in the U.S. if they cooperate with police in identifying the criminals.  Other visas are also available for illegal aliens who, although not the victims of crimes, nevertheless provide actionable intelligence to law enforcement to combat criminals and terrorists and the organizations to which they may belong.

Throughout my career with the INS one of my key areas of responsibility was to use my authority as an INS agent to cultivate informants and cooperating witnesses within ethnic immigrant communities to assist in criminal investigations on the local, state and federal levels.

This was particularly true when I was assigned as the first INS representative to the Unified Intelligence Division of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) and subsequently promoted and assigned, as a Senior Special Agent, to the Organized Crime, Drug Enforcement Task Force. 

Indeed, this was one of the critical elements of my annual evaluation.

If advocates for Sanctuary Cities were truly concerned about “immigrants” why in the world aren’t they providing information about the visas that are available to illegal aliens who cooperate with law enforcement authorities?  The answer is self-evident- they don’t care about the immigrants, only about promoting their false narrative.

Another deceitful claim is that through implementation of “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” our authorities would be able to get all of the illegal aliens “out of the shadows” so we would finally know who is here.

In reality, terrorists might avail themselves of the opportunity to acquire new identities if their biometrics were not on file while those alien criminals fugitives and terrorist aliens who know that their biometrics are likely on file, would simply remain in the shadows.

CBP (Customs and Border Protection) has more than 60,000 employees, including inspectors at ports of entry and Border Patrol agents.  If, as immigration anarchists claim, it does not matter how aliens enter the United States, why do we need to continue to fund CBP?

The answer, of course, is self-evident.

President Trump understands the truth and is acting appropriately.  All rational Americans should be appreciative and supportive of his efforts to protect America and Americans.
