When George Floyd died in a conflict situation in 2020, a spontaneous and passionate global movement celebrated him and used his death to demand changes in the police and criminal justice system. appeared. The movement was successful and resulted in the worst crime wave in a generation.
Last week, Laken Riley, a young nursing student from Georgia, was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. Where are the cries for “Justice for Laken”? Where’s the accidental political movement using her memory to stop an invasion at the border?
The crime wave we are facing is unimaginable, but it is also entirely avoidable.
Even if George Floyd truly died at the hands of police officers and not from a drug overdose, his death is not evidence of widespread racist police violence.The police don’t kill black people Immoderately. The same may not be said about the pervasive and entirely avoidable trend of illegal alien violence.We’ve all seen footage of Venezuelan immigrants hit the police in New York City. We all saw Venezuelan criminals released from prison. flip the bird To the American people. What we saw was 4 venezuelan punks A man who robbed an American on a Chicago train.
We have long endured waves of underreported illegal alien crimes, but this wave of Venezuelan invaders is qualitatively the worst we have ever faced. .according to CWB ChicagoChicago police had arrested nearly 700 self-proclaimed Venezuelan nationals as of the end of November, up from 26 in 2022 and just six in 2021.
I would like to introduce Jose Antonio Ibarra (26), a Venezuelan national. illegally paroled Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security will issue this ruling in 2022, and he will be charged with killing Riley on UGA’s Athens campus after the nursing student’s severely beaten body was found in the woods. has been done.
Ibarra is the new face of Venezuela’s problems, but he is one of thousands.as fox news reportRecently arrived Torren de Aragua gang members are terrorizing cities such as New York and Chicago.
The Border Patrol reported about 335,000 encounters with Venezuelans in fiscal year 2023, in addition to the 470,000 people Biden granted temporary protected status to. Only 834 Venezuelans were deported in 2023, although this does not include the last two years of insecurity and “flights.”
The crime wave we are facing is unimaginable, but it is also entirely avoidable. Unlike other political causes born out of the outpouring of emotion caused by highly visible murders and deaths (like Floyd’s), this issue is a matter of concern if our government actually fulfills its obligation to protect its citizens from foreign threats. If so, it is a 100% correctable problem. .
Consider the magnitude of what we are facing. According to ICEAs of fiscal year 2023, there were a whopping 6,199,629 foreigners (mainly illegal aliens, but also criminally legal aliens) registered on the “non-detained” list. These are people who are targeted for deportation by ICE, which likely means that the vast majority have criminal records in addition to immigration violations. Of these, only 37,000 are currently in detention. That means more than 6 million criminal aliens who are dangerous enough to attract the attention of ICE will remain in the country indefinitely without being deported.
How prevalent is the crime problem? In fiscal year 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency, as we continued our efforts to deport people, some of the people arrested by ICE were: This included undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
- More than 1,800 murder-related crimes;
- kidnapping of 1,600 people;
- 3,800 robberies;
- 37,000 assaults;
- 10,000 sexual crimes.
In total, there are more than 374,000 convictions and pending prosecutions, an average of four per illegal alien. These are just a few of the authorities with very limited resources, many of which are protected by sanctuary cities. And of course, that was before Biden allowed more than 7.2 million people into the country.
If conservatives don’t see Laken Riley’s death as a George Floyd moment, then there’s nothing worth fighting for. That means Republicans will have to veto funding in this weekend’s budget bill without a provision to defund border raids. However, it would also mean that the state would begin to take responsibility for deportation.
The Constitution itself allows the nation to fight aggression. But even if it were not, the Constitution is not a suicide pact. With 6.2 million undetained illegal aliens targeted for removal by even the Biden administration’s ICE, states cannot afford to sit idly by while federal authorities do nothing.
Every day, millions of time bombs are planted among people who should not be here. The suspect in Laken Riley’s murder was arrested by the New York City Police Department in September and charged with “causing injury to a child under the age of 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.” ICE statement. As is the case in all sanctuary cities, Mr. Ybarra was released by the NYPD before being taken into custody.
Jose Antonio also has an older brother, Diego Ibarra, who is also an example of Biden’s lax border policies.He was arrested three times for various crimes in Athens, Georgia between September and December 2023. but was released every time.
The first time an illegal alien is arrested for a crime must be the last time he commits a crime in this country.This is a sanctuary city problem, but it’s also a sanctuary nation problem. But ICE often refuses to arrest people who have committed only “low-level crimes,” such as drunk driving or theft. Given that federal authorities refuse to deport, it is incumbent upon states to determine the citizenship status of all individuals arrested and to ensure that deportable aliens are not released onto the streets. More justice is needed for Laken Riley and countless others like her.
