Lott: New data on migrant crime rates raises eyebrows, alarms

By John R Lott Jr., Commentary  | Daily Signal The new data on all the criminal noncitizens coming into the U.S. is shocking. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement checks the background of illegal aliens it has in custody. But the ICE administration’s letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, shows that as of July 21, ICE let 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 people with pending criminal charges back in their home countries into the U.S. Of those cleared by ICE, 13,099 have convictions for homicide, and 1,845 were facing criminal charges. Some 9,461 have convictions for sex offenses (not including assault or commercialized sex), and 2,659 face pending charges. The convictions include other crimes, such as assault (62,231), robbery...

Data dump shows 650,000 migrant criminals, suspects free in Biden-Harris’s America

By Neil Munro  | Breitbart President Joe Biden’s administration is allowing up to 650,000 criminal migrants and suspects — including at least 13,099 migrant murderers and 222,141 migrants facing criminal charges — to roam through American communities, according to a dramatic data dump by a House Republican. “The data says that, among those not in detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals,” reported Fox News, which got the information from Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX). The letter from ICE to Gonzalez says: Your letter requests the number of noncitizens on ICE’s docket convicted or charged with a crime. As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’...

Harris heads to southern border looking to flip script on immigration criticisms

By Paul Steinhauser  | Fox News Vice President Harris stops in battleground Arizona on Friday to hold a campaign event along the U.S. southern border with Mexico as the Democrat presidential nominee works to turn the issue of immigration and border security from a liability into a strength. Harris has faced frequent attacks from her Republican opponent, former President Trump, and his allies who argue she's weak on border security, an issue that many Republicans see as the vice president's political Achilles' heel. Harris has faced intense criticism over the surge of migrants across the nation's southern border during the first three years of President Biden's administration. The Trump campaign, on the eve of Harris' first border visit as a presidential nominee, called i...

Double dip on city’s ‘non-sanctuary’ status ‘political grandstanding’ Colorado Springs residents say

By Breeanna Jent | The Gazette Residents on Tuesday criticized a second resolution reaffirming that Colorado Springs is not a "sanctuary city" for migrants crossing U.S. borders as divisive, hateful and an example of political grandstanding. Though the resolution is symbolic and not legally binding, it sends a strong message that migrants are not welcome, opponents said. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE GAZETTE

How NYC ‘sanctuary’ status allows bloodthirsty migrant gang Tren de Aragua to thrive in Big Apple’s shelters

By Joe Marino, Jennie Taer, Craig McCarthy and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon | New York Post The Big Apple’s migrant-friendly “sanctuary city” status has allowed the vicious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to flourish in local migrant shelters, hamstringing cops and keeping immigration agents in the dark, law enforcement sources tell The Post. The gang has infiltrated the shelter system to build a criminal enterprise that peddles drugs, guns and women in the five boroughs — but the restrictive policy largely bars the NYPD from policing the facilities and prohibits the city from tipping off federal immigration agents about dangerous illegal immigrants, the sources said. “It was an unintended consequence of this administration’s policies,” a source with US Immigration and Customs Enfor...

Border patrol: Kids as young as 8 are drugged, trafficked into the U.S. by smugglers posing as parents

By Christina Coulter  | New York Post Border Patrol agents are warning that kids as young as 8 are being drugged and smuggled into the US by traffickers posing as their parents or family members — and nobody knows how common the horrifying practice is. Authorities have rescued children caught up in two different instances of such smuggling in recent weeks — including one instance in which the alleged traffickers had birth certificates for multiple kids to whom they weren’t related, according to the Border Patrol. Border Patrol sources have told The Post they’ve observed increasing numbers of smugglers posing as family units in order to “recycle” children. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Here’s how a Venezuelan gang was able to infiltrate the U.S. and wreak havoc in major cities

By Wallace White | Daily Caller A notorious Venezuelan gang is extending its tentacles into the U.S. on the back of the Biden-Harris administration’s border crisis, and experts say that immigration authorities have no way of identifying the criminal group’s members before they hit American soil. The gang, known as Tren de Aragua, has made headlines in recent weeks with its criminal activities in multiple states, according to multiple reports. Yet, border authorities have virtually zero tools to detect Venezuelan migrants’ affiliations with the gang, as the U.S.’ diplomatic relationship with the beleaguered country is effectively on ice, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “We have next to no vetting for the Venezuelans who are entering the country, because we have no re...

Fed Chair Jerome Powell says immigration surge boosted unemployment rate

By Michelle Wells | Fox Business Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday that immigration is helping push the unemployment rate higher as they enter the labor force and look for jobs. Powell was asked about whether the level of job creation in the economy, which has been a little more than 100,000 on average for the last three months, is alarming and if the labor market can continue slowing down through fewer job openings as opposed to job losses. "On the job creation… it depends on the inflows," Powell said. "So if you're having millions of people come into the labor force, and you're creating 100,000 jobs, you're going to see unemployment go up. So it really depends on what's the trend underlying the volatility of people coming into the country." "We understand the...

Lara Trump details how ‘military-age men’ use children to cross border

By Jamie Joseph | Washington Examiner Republican National Committee Co-Chairwoman Lara Trump detailed a tactic she said illegal immigrants are using to cross over the border, which involves using “the same child” repeatedly for different crossings. Trump recently toured the southern border to see the border crisis herself, during which she “learned a lot.” She explained that the number of women who are sexually assaulted while crossing the border is close to over 50%, a “much higher” number than what is reported. “I learned a term ‘recycled child,’ that’s a child that the Border Patrol sees four, five, six, maybe even seven times,” Trump said on Fox News’s Hannity. “The same child coming over the border with different military-aged men so that those men ca...

Gaines: Progressive press slathers bias on Venezuelan gang story

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Complete Colorado I feel sorry for the residents of the Aurora apartment complex dealing that have ended up in the national spotlight as part of the Venezuelan gang story as of late.  Besides living in what seems like crappy conditions, they have all unwittingly become a bone to be fought over.  I agree with Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, as he recently told the Colorado Sun, when he says that he feels this whole situation “… has been exploited for political gain.” What Mayor Coffman, and many others, may have missed (or perhaps ignored) is the progressive media also taking advantage of the situation, even though it’s right up front for all to see.  For example, the Sun titled its article “Is racism fueling claims about a Venezuelan g...
