In a sane country, the current “border czar,” Kamala Harris, would be 20 points behind former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. However, tens of millions of Americans have decided to embrace the insanity of keeping the same person who has overseen an invasion at our southern border around for an encore. What’s the definition of insanity? “Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Plus, "orange man bad."
If not for many of the country’s larger police departments no longer reporting crime data to the FBI, Americans would be getting an accurate picture of just how bad things have gotten under the Biden-Harris administration.
The biggest beneficiaries of the Biden-Harris open border have been criminal illegal aliens. Among the estimated ten million illegals who have crossed our border unabated, even guessing that a low percentage of them are criminals still means that hundreds of thousands of criminals have crossed into our country. And we are paying the price.
According to NBC News, law enforcement agencies nationwide are investigating over 100 serious crimes committed by only one group of violent illegals, members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
U.S. law enforcement and immigration officials have launched more than 100 investigations of crimes tied to suspected members of a violent Venezuelan gang, including sex trafficking in Louisiana and the point-blank shooting of two New York City police officers, according to two Department of Homeland Security officials.
The cases involving the Tren de Aragua gang show how hard it is for U.S. border agents to vet the criminal backgrounds of migrants from countries like Venezuela that won’t give the U.S. any help.
More than 330,000 Venezuelans crossed the U.S. border last year, according to Customs and Border Protection data, and Venezuela, like Cuba, China, and a handful of other countries, doesn’t provide any criminal history information to U.S. officials.
It is estimated that gang members are crossing into the country in large numbers, and in a majority of cases, there are no means to track them once they do. They are free to go anywhere in the country, and when they do show up, violent crime seems to follow.
Two members of Tren de Aragua are facing the death penalty for murdering a former police officer in South Florida last year:
Two alleged members of the dangerous Venezuelan ‘Tren de Aragua’ gang face the death penalty for the 2023 kidnapping and murder of a man in the city of Doral, in Miami-Dade County, whose apartment was ransacked by armed men.
Julio Cesar Hernandez Montero, 27 years old, and Yurwin Salzar Maita, 23, appeared by court order in county court Tuesday, where prosecutors charged them with first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing 43-year-old Jose Luis Sanchez Valera.
In addition to these charges, Assistant State Attorney Gabriela Alfaro told Judge Laura Cruz that the state will prosecute the co-defendants for robbery, home invasion, vehicle theft, kidnapping, and burglary.
While the mainstream media focuses on alleged cat-eating Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, crime is running rampant throughout the U.S.
Meanwhile, in New York City, CNN reported a member of Tren de Aragua in the country illegally shot two NYPD officers:
In New York, police say Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata, a 19-year-old from Venezuela, shot two police officers last week. Castro-Mata entered the country illegally last July, a member of Immigration and Customs Enforcement told CNN. The Venezuelan has tattoos associated with Tren de Aragua–which court documents for a suspected gang member in Georgia describe as five-pointed crowns, five-pointed stars, and teardrops–the New York Police Department told CNN.
So, as crime in the United States grows, it is dropping in Venezuela, due in no small part to Tren de Aragua and other criminal gangs relocating north.
The crime issues have also found their way west, where Tren de Aragua has given its members a “green light” to attack police officers.
At the same time, the gang has reportedly established a significant presence in parts of Colorado, Fox News reported. They were reportedly given a “green light” to fire on or attack law enforcement in Denver.
There have also been reports of the gang taking over at least two apartment buildings in Aurora.
As many Republicans and others have warned, the criminal gangs are involved in more nefarious crimes, such as child prostitution, the Daily Mail reported.
A bombshell report details the criminal organization's complete control over the Whispering Pine Apartments in a Denver suburb.
Vacant units had reportedly been used to host “parties” where the gang provided “drug and child prostitution,” according to the apartments’ manager, who added that the gangster said “minors are a good source of money.”
NBC News reported that sex trafficking is one of Tren de Aragua’s primary means of bringing in money. In Louisiana, women who were victimized and trafficked by the gang said they were forced “to have sex with four men a day”:
In a federal affidavit, two of the women described how they were trafficked by three alleged gang members who had entered the U.S. within the past year. All three suspects had been intercepted by Border Patrol after they entered Texas illegally but then had been released into the U.S.
The women say the alleged gang members arranged for them to fly from El Paso, Texas, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Once they were in Baton Rouge, the women were taken to a Ross retail clothing store to buy clothes. They were then taken to an apartment building, where they were allegedly forced to have sex with four men a day.
Tren de Aragua also operates so-called “stash houses” in several other states, CNN reported in June:
Officials arrested two suspects–both Venezuelan nationals–at the location, Albert Herrera Machado, 23, and Osleidy Vanesa Chouria-Diaz, 26. Agents later arrested another Venezuelan, Josmar Jesus Zambrano Chirinos, 23, identified in the complaint as a leader of the sex trafficking operation being conducted by the Tren de Aragua in the U.S. Zabrano was “operating stash houses” used for human trafficking in Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, New Jersey, and Florida, according to the criminal complaint reviewed by CNN.
While most Democrats, including Biden and Harris, deny there is a problem with criminal gangs coming into the country unabated, Republicans have taken notice, including Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX). He has repeatedly warned about the dangers posed by Tren de Aragua, noting they have “been known to rape children.”
“For months, I have sounded the alarm about Tren de Aragua and the threat this gang poses to Americans,” Gonzales said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. “It’s graphic, but this gang has been known to rape children, murder, and commit nearly every other crime under the sun. We know that Tren de Aragua has expanded operations in Mexico, and some gang members have made their way into the United States.”
One would think that in a normal country, our leaders would attempt to put a stop to the scourge of illegals entering the country. Instead, the Biden-Harris administration is doubling down on putting out the welcome mat, Breitbart News reported earlier in September.
The administration and the Mexican government agreed to a plan to provide buses for illegals to travel from two southern Mexico cities to the U.S. border. They will receive meals and security during travel from those cities to a destination in the U.S. where they have made appointments for “asylum” under the CBP-One app. The buses will depart from Villahermosa and Tapachula and travel to the U.S.
Now, all violent gang members from Central and South America only need to get to one of those Mexican cities, and they will be provided free transportation courtesy of the U.S. and Mexican governments to come to the United States to commit crime at will.
Gangs like Tren de Araguala, MS-13, and others have been given carte blanche to enter the United States, and Americans are paying the price. Meanwhile, the “border czar,” Kamala Harris, could possibly get elected president. That should send a chill down the spine of every American who cares about the safety and security of their family, especially their children.
