Seven illegal aliens are among 19 men arrested for allegedly committing child sex crimes in Bay County, Florida.

This week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced the results of a nationwide sting called Operation Cross Country XIII which saw 126 suspects, accused of child sexual abuse and human trafficking, either identified or arrested as well as 68 suspects accused of trafficking.

As part of the operation, 19 men were arrested in Bay County. According to Fox News’s Adam Shaw and Bill Melugin, seven of those men are illegal aliens:

• 32-year-old Jesus Rangel De La Cruz
• 37-year-old Nery Antonio Bonilla Galvez
• 25-year-old Flavio Cruz
• 36-year-old Jose Arizmendi
• 26-year-old Robinson Andres Mancheno Monar
• 18-year-old Carlos Mejia Ruiz
• 23-year-old Shemar Pearson

One of the illegal aliens arrived on a B-2 tourist visa but failed to depart in 2021 as part of the terms of the visa. Likewise, another one of the illegal aliens arrived on a J-1 exchange visitor visa but also overstayed after failing to leave the United States in 2021.

Fourteen of the 19 men arrested in Bay County are accused of traveling to engage in sexual activity with a minor while five are accused of possession of child pornography.

The operation ultimately located 200 sex trafficking victims, including 59 missing children. The operation took place in a two-week period in July.

“Sex traffickers exploit and endanger some of the most vulnerable members of our society and cause their victims unimaginable harm,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. “This operation, which located 59 actively missing children, builds on the tremendous work the FBI has undertaken over many years to rescue minor victims and arrest those responsible for these unspeakable crimes.”

A majority of Cubans want to leave their country, according to an anonymous poll published by the independent pollster agency Cubadata on Monday.

Cubadata’s poll shows that 57.5 percent of Cubans intend to leave Cuba. Another 25.3 percent answered that they were unsure about it, and only 17.2 percent said they were not considering leaving their country.

The poll’s sample was gathered across all of Cuba’s provinces between March 23 and April 8. The vast majority of respondents, 77.4 percent, ranged between 22 and 55 years old. About 45 percent anonymously stated that they worked in Cuban state offices. 

When asked, “Has any member of your family or close acquaintance emigrated from Cuba during the last 12 months?” 85.2 percent answered yes; 18.5 percent answered no.

Cubadata also asked the respondents what are, in their opinion, the top three reasons that drive Cubans to leave their country. The most-voted options were Cuba’s economic crisis, with 23.3 percent of the votes; followed by food shortages at 17.6 percent; and lack of any future in Cuba, with 16.5 percent.

Other reasons provided were the shortages of medicine and/or poor healthcare services, lack of job opportunities, lack of freedom, political persecution, and insecurity and violence.

The ongoing deterioration of Cuba’s living conditions, lack of basic human rights, and continued state repression — all consequences of more than six decades of communist rule of the island nation — have caused what is now considered the worst migrant crisis in Cuban history. More than 450,000 Cubans — almost four percent of Cuba’s entire population — have attempted to enter the United States between 2021 and 2022, according to Miami-based Havana Consulting Group President Emilio Morales.

The continued mass migration of Cubans fleeing from the communist Castro regime and the inhumane living conditions it has imposed on them is now a crucial contributing factor to Cuba’s steep population decline, in addition to low birth rates and growth in the elderly population.

Authorities from the Castro regime’s statistics and information office admitted in May that, as a result of the nation’s continued decline, Cuba’s population could drop from 11 million in 2023 to fewer than 9 million by 2054. Castro regime officials have deemed it “unlikely” that the downward population trend can be reversed.

In its survey, Cubadata also asked respondents how much they agreed with their relative or acquaintance’s decision to leave Cuba. About 68 percent answered that they “totally” agreed with the decision, and 18.6 answered that they agreed, against 3.2 percent who said that they did not agree and 2.6 percent who “totally” disagreed.

The pollster agency also asked, “If you have considered emigrating, what would be your main reason?” Forty-two percent answered that “there is no future” in Cuba, with 25.6 percent citing the nation’s economic crisis as the main reason.

Lastly, Cubadata asked respondents what country they would choose to go to, and 43.1 percent answered the United States, 13 percent answered Europe, and 9.6 percent said: “any destination where a possibility arises.”

The independent outlet Cubanet published a video on Monday showing a large group of desperate Cuban citizens attempting to obtain a plane ticket to Nicaragua — presently the only Latin American country where Cuban citizens do not need any visa to enter its territory.

“Between the misery, hunger, and poverty in this country, most Cubans are lining up outside [Venezuelan-state-owned airline] Conviasa in the Miramar business center to get their ticket to Nicaragua,” a Cuban citizen explains in the video.

“They are so desperate that they are crazy to leave the country and get out of this island, where there is nothing.”

Those who do not have the resources to fly out of Cuba often opt to make the dangerous journey out of the country by sea through makeshift boats. Cubans who flee their country by sea are often referred to as balseros, or “rafters.” More than 28,000 Cuban rafters reportedly reached Florida in the first eight months of FY2023.

Immigration Attorney Willy Allen told the news website Cibercuba in June:

It is impressive the number of rafters who continue to enter U.S. territory, which shows that the Cuban immigration crisis has not been solved through [the Biden Administration’s] humanitarian parole, the alternative to seek asylum with the CBP One application or the increase of visas issued at the embassy in Havana.

“This is a profound crisis because it is the crisis of Cuban desperation.”

Hundreds of Migrants Drown as Joe Biden Dangles Open-Borders Welcome

Hundreds of migrants — including many women and children — are drowning in the Caribbean as they try to reach the American life dangled by President Joe Biden and his pro-migration deputies, according to a report in the Washington Post.

“The U.N. Missing Migrants Project estimates at least 349 people either disappeared or died in Caribbean waters last year, nearly twice as many as the year before,” the Post reported on July 27, adding:

That’s the highest toll since the agency began tracking them in 2014 and is probably an undercount, said Edwin Viales, a data and research assistant for the U.N. project. “In the bottom of the Caribbean Sea,” Viales said, “there are thousands of remains of migrants who remain unidentified.”

Cuban-born Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has enacted Biden’s Hunger Games-style policy. He repeatedly argues that the welcome policies are justified by “equity” between Americans and migrants and claims that Americans cannot fill the needed jobs in the U.S. economy.

Republicans “absolutely should be showing the public what the tragic consequences of these policies are” to both Americans and migrants, Jessica Vaughan, the policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart News, adding:

They absolutely should be putting a human face on the consequences of these [easy migration] policies; they need to talk about this disaster in terms of the humans who are suffering from it … [because] there are some some Democrat politicians who are hearing it from constituents … The only opinions that Biden and [border chief Alejandro] Mayorkas care about — if there are any that they care about — are their donors and the political allies that they may need to accomplish other parts of their agenda.

The Post showed the face of two dead migrants as it described the 2022 deaths of at least 17 Haitians when their 33-foot boat sank while crossing the 50-mile gap between the Bahamas and Florida.

The Bahamanian coastal patrol force rescued 25 migrants of the roughly 65 passengers, said the Post, adding:

Authorities laid the bodies of the [recovered] dead facedown on a tarp and took photos. One of those images reached the cellphone of [Haitian native] Lenise Georges as she sat in a Nassau church pew and listened to Sunday services.

There, on WhatsApp, was the body of her 43-year-old sister, Altanie Ivoy, a mother of three, in a pink zigzag shirt. Georges recognized her back and the shape of her arm, the elbow she’d known since they were children. Next to her, wearing red polka-dot pants, was Ivoy’s 1-year-old daughter Kourtney, who had just begun to say her first words. She was the only child on the boat.

The “migrants bear some responsibility for their own choices,” Vaughan said, adding:

But they are being enticed into these bad choices or dangerous choices by the [administration’s welcome] policy.

Biden and Mayorkas and their allies in the media would like [Americans] to believe that this kind of migration is like a force of nature and inevitable and that we simply have to accommodate it, and there’s nothing that can be done about it. Because they do not want to bear any responsibility for the consequences or even to limit it.

I don’t think it’s possible to shame Biden and Mayorkas and everyone else who is defending these policies. I don’t think they feel any shame over it. They’re going to keep doing it. They are diehards, like the sanctuary [city] mayors who — no matter how many people get harmed by a criminal who has been released by sanctuary policy —  [just rationalize it] as an unintended consequence of the policy or deflect and blame something else. They won’t accept responsibility for these policies.

Most progressives hide the U.S and foreign body count created by their welcome for illegal economic migrants, said Vaughan:

They’re either in denial about or indifferent to the human consequences and the human tragedies that result from their policies, or they think that it is outweighed by what they think is a benefit to the United States for allowing this illegal migration.

Many more migrants have died on the Darien Gap trail or in the rivers and scrubland along the U.S. border with Mexico.

Some Republicans also dismiss the migrants’ deaths. When George W. Bush was governor of Texas, for example, he waved away the deaths of migrants in southern Texas. “Hell, if they’ll walk across Big Bend [in Texas], we want ‘em,” he told advisers, according to author Jan Reid.

The greatest damage of the migration, however, is inflicted on ordinary Americans.

A massive number of Americans lost wages and decent housing because of the economic chaos caused by Mayorkas’s huge migration.

Roughly 70,000 Americans died in 2022 from the drugs imported by Mexican cartels. So far, Biden’s deputies have not pressured Mexico’s government to crack down on the cartels — although they have just negotiated a migration-management deal with Mexico.

Mayorkas and his allies defend the easy migration policies as safer for migrants than the alternative of being smuggled by the cartels. But Americans suffer more when Mayorkas welcomes more migrants through quasi-legal channels.

Moreover, Mayorkas has minimized the deportation of illegal migrants who take jobs. This enforcement loophole creates an incentive for myriad migrants to take expensive and often risky journeys to the United States border. For example, one of Mayorkas’s deputies told the Washington Post that water-born migration to Florida quadrupled in 2022.

“The wealthiest migrants rent boats and sail into Miami Beach undetected, wearing fancy watches and bathing suits,” the Post added.

Americans are not morally responsible for the migrants’ deaths, said Vaughan, because Biden’s deputies are defying the federal immigration law, even when testifying on the Hillills. “You have Mayorkas up there before Congress saying, ‘We have operational control [of the border] — as I define it.’ That’s a problem because he doesn’t get to define it; it is the law that defines it.”

“This is pure contempt for the law in an attempt to substitute his wishes for the law, no matter the consequences,” she added.
