OPINION:
Police say that at least 12 illegal aliens pummeled two NYPD cops outside a taxpayer-funded shelter in Times Square on Jan. 27. Among five arrested, four were released without bail three hours later. Unrepentant Jhoan Boada, 22, waved his middle fingers as he left court.
The New York Post reports that a church-affiliated nongovernmental organization put these four suspects on a bus bound for California, three time zones from justice. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the sanctuary state’s Democratic governor, likely will welcome them with open arms and fresh freebies.
Rather than “thank you for having us,” the illegals’ message to America is “ f—- you!”
“Why aren’t they in jail right now?” Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York, demanded Thursday. “They brutally attacked a New York City police officer and a lieutenant. Our criminal justice system is upside down. It fails every day.”
This incident encapsulates life under the Biden Democrats: BINO (border in name only): rampant illegal immigration, disdain for law enforcement, far-left prosecutors who lionize criminals, pushover judges with bleeding hearts, illegal aliens fueled by entitlement rather than gratitude, and an ever-expanding sense of chaos.
The American people did not vote for this, nor did they ask for the crime explosion that President Biden and his border-hating Democrats have detonated.
This blast of lawlessness begins at the border, where everyone who has arrived without a passport has violated 8 US Code § 1325 — improper entry by alien. To be clear, every illegal alien becomes a criminal the moment he or she touches U.S. soil. For that alone, all 8.8 million illegal aliens whom Mr. Biden waved in should be booted immediately.
Former President Donald Trump’s promised mass deportations are his most tantalizing pledge. Once these people go home, they can apply for visas, wait their turn, and then enter legally — precisely as my mother and father did when they came from Costa Rica in 1962.
Tens of millions have entered America lawfully and then peacefully and patiently earned work permits, green cards and citizenship. Goody-grabbing illegal aliens insult these legal immigrants. The Biden Democrats’ tsunami of lawbreakers needs to wash back out and do things the right way. Period.
From the border, illegal aliens march north. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently arrested 171 illegal aliens in 25 cities. They were accused of “convicted of horrible, almost unspeakable crimes like assault against children, including sexual assault and murder,” ICE’s acting director, Patrick Lechleitner, announced Thursday. Among those arrested:
• A 53-year-old Salvadoran in Tacoma, Washington, convicted of felony child molestation and child rape.
• A 21-year-old Mexican in Chicago convicted of child pornography — victim under 13.
• A 32-year-old Mexican in Denver convicted of first-degree murder, with extreme indifference.
In fiscal 2023, ICE arrested 73,822 foreign criminals, averaging four suspected or proved offenses each, totaling 290,708 collective charges and convictions. These included 139 potential or confirmed terrorists and 3,406 indicted or guilty gang members. Among their crimes:
• Kidnapping (1,655).
• Homicide (1,713).
• Robbery (3,097).
• Sexual assault (4,390).
• Burglary (6,964).
• Weapons offenses (7,520).
• Assault (33,209)
To avoid further preventable carnage, the House voted 274-150 Thursday to deport illegals who drive under the influence. All 215 Republicans present (100%) backed this proposal, as did 59 Democrats (28.2%). But 150 Democrats (71.8%) — including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California — voted to keep illegal-alien drunken drivers cruising through the United States.
Mr. Biden and his co-conspirators welcome this massive invasion as Future Democrats of America. If the path to the Democrats’ new margin of victory involves a simultaneous collapse in law and public safety, then those cracked eggs will make up their winning electoral omelet.
However these illegals might vote, if they are not removed first, they might not outweigh the backlash that has erupted among U.S. citizens who are disgusted with the Biden Democrats’ evil, twisted, dangerous, and too-often deadly scheme to maintain power and control by any means necessary.
