MURDOCK: Biden Turns Border Into Crime Scene

U.S. Customs and Border Protection [Public Domain]

NEW YORK — Joe Biden’s “come one, come all” promises and policies have turned the U.S.-Mexico border into a humanitarian catastrophe, a public-health calamity, and a national-security crisis. Biden also has transformed America’s southern frontier into a gigantic crime scene.

The border criminals include every illegal alien who invades America without permission. They undermine U.S. sovereignty, fleece beleaguered American taxpayers, and mock millions of immigrants who arrive legally. Foreigners who breach the border without passports violate 8 U.S. Code § 1325(a) — Improper entry by alien. Border Patrol encounters with such illegals soared from 36,687 in February 2020 to 100,441 in February 2021 — up 173 percent.

Even more nefarious are apprehensions of aliens with criminal convictions. President Donald J. Trump slashed these from 4,269 in FY 2019 to 2,438 in FY 2020 — down 42.9 percent. Customs and Border Protection reports that for FY 2021 to date (October 1, 2020, through last February 28) that number swelled to 4,140 — up 69.8 percent.

“Here we are, not even halfway through FY 2021, and a year’s worth of criminal aliens [compared to FY 2019] already have been encountered by the Border Patrol,” Jessica M. Vaughan, Director of Policy Studies with the Center for Immigration Studies, told me. “That’s alarming, and suggests that the criminal aliens feel empowered by Biden’s welcome-wagon policies.”

These criminals have ugly rap sheets.

In Texas’ Rio Grande Valley Sector, “a Salvadoran man with a prior conviction for murder was discovered,” CBP’s Chief Patrol Agent Brian Hastings revealed March 27 via Twitter. For FY 2021 to date, “RGV agents have arrested over 861 criminal aliens, to include 63 gang members and 92 sex offenders.”

Even scarier than these specific arrests are the border-wide convictions for other illegals captured this fiscal year:

Homicide – three

Illegal weapons possession and trafficking – 140

Sexual offenses – 210

Burglary, robbery, larceny, theft, and fraud – 308

Assault, battery, and domestic violence – 484

Driving under the influence – 715

Illegal drug possession and trafficking – 816

Convictions across these seven categories totaled 1,672 in FY 2019. Trump cut them to 1,309 in FY 2020 — down 21.7 percent. FY 2021 to date: 2,676 — up 104.4 percent.

Others got away.

Biden’s human-trafficking bonanza is huge business for seriously bad guys.

“We just come here to earn our daily bread, like everyone else,” a smuggler who calls himself “Lily” told Univision on March 26. Standing in the shallow Rio Grande, beside the small boat that he uses to ferry illegals across the river from Mexico to America, “Lily” adds, “In all honesty, there are way too many people. Believe me. With the benefits your new president is now granting, people found the courage to come.”

And how much “bread” do these traffickers collect per alien escorted? CBP figures suggest that 100,441 illegals typically paid some $4,096 each to surge the border in February. This averages $14.7 million per day, $411.5 million that month, or a cool $5.365 billion per year. This illicit sum exceeds the 2020 sales revenues of Hyatt Hotels ($5.02 billion), Western Union ($5.29 billion), and Harley Davidson ($5.36 billion). Traffickers likely pay no taxes.

“It’s so lucrative that the smugglers will not easily be deterred from doing this business,” Jessica Vaughan worries. “More and more will want to get into the act, bringing people from all over the world; and the more money they make, the more money they will have — to bribe officials, hire and pay more employees, and acquire weapons, vehicles, and technology to evade law enforcement.”

If those who seek better lives in America visited U.S. embassies, acquired visas, and landed at American airports, most of this chaos and mayhem would go unperpetrated. Instead, this new administration has engineered the conditions under which international hoodlums prey on, profit from, and even kill other human beings.

In just two months, a “nice guy” named Joe Biden has distinguished himself as the trans-border criminal’s best friend.

  1. Maybe this article is true but is missing one very important point … Letting these poor oppressed people come here out of horrible conditions, make the Dim’s feel good about themselves. What happens to americans or America means nothing.

      1. SORRY, BUT I THINK THAT WILL TURN ON THEM AND THEY ARE SMARTER THAN WE THINK AND THEY WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR A DEMOCRAT

          1. And the Dim’s know it. If they thought for one second that the illegal votes they are importing would go republican, they would build a wall so big you could see it from space.

      1. Semper Fi and thanks for your service. Seems to me all are criminals but some worse than others. ’58-62

        1. EXACTLY!! They are all here ILLEGALLY so THAT in itself MAKES them ALL CRIMINALS. But the BAD ones are TERRORISTS!!!

          1. Correction to above. Some illegal immigrants do not see our country as sovereign, but a country to take back. They do not think they are illegals.

          2. It is important to understand what many of them understand about the United States and what they have been told/indoctrinated. Remember when a huge computer company in the US was purchased by a foreigner? What happened? The business was literally moved South. The merchandise was used in the schools throughout their nation. The children for several generations learned that their country was taken from them in shady deals including the Louisiana Purchase. So, from their point of views, we in several states are living in their country. Many do not want honk that they are illegals.

          3. Auto spelling confusing: main point to the message: Generations of children learn and believe what they are taught. The education taught south of the border in Spanish is that the United States was once Mexico. They are not taught that the citizens of that topography did not want to be oppressed by the Mexican government and in their struggle for freedom they joined the US. It’s all in the teaching. That is why we citizens need to take back control of the education curriculum of our children. We need to know what is being taught to our youngsters.
            Many flooding our borders believe that they are taking back their own country.
            If fact it was reported that a 5 year old with a Mexican flag here told a border patrolman. “This is my country.”

    1. Just remember one thing, and that is there is no border crisis with the Joe or the democrats. How can it be a crisis if it is what you plan to do? A crisis is something unexpected and this is not unexpected but encouraged. So let’s stop calling this a border crisis, but a planned event and is a success as well

    2. We assume that they live under horrible conditions where they come from. For many of them that is not true. Those that choose to join gangs and be part of the drug/ trafficking industry, yes, They live terrible lives. Or if they end up trafficked. They came from countries where the governments are more oppressive. I have few were freedoms like the ones we are about to give up.
      But look at them. They are not emaciated. They mostly look pretty healthy. They have been told that there is pie in the sky in the United States and everything is free. They believe they would not have to work so hard for things in the United States. And they are very disillusioned…they find that an easy life it’s not true. If they were tracked, to find their opinions later on, many would say that “I wouldn’t come here for anything!”The lifestyle stressors are very difficult. The American lifestyle is not a Mañana lifestyle. It’s not easy going. The streets are straight with too much concrete with very little country for their children to play. No place to walk except sidewalks. It’s highly competitive for higher paying jobs for those who don’t speak English. Taxes in basic goods are high. rents are high, food , gas, car insurance cost a lot of money. The realities once here are not pie in the sky.
      The trend once settled here is to send money back to their relatives and to build homes for their retirement in their mother country.. most of their relatives back home wouldn’t come here for any pie in the sky. They know better. We are told that they are miserable languishing in their mother countries.

    3. You think letting every SCUMBAG TERRORIST into this country that can make it, makes the LIBS FEEL GOOD?? NO, it gives the LIBS MORE TERRORISTS to MURDER CONSERVATIVES!!!

    4. Sorry Kevin but your hypothesis is incorrect. Democrats don’t give a rat’s patoodie about feeding good about themselves. All they care about is POWER. They see the illegals as Democrat voters That is their sole motivation.

      What Democrats KNOW and DEPEND on is uneducated and uninformed people. That describes the vast majority of illegals coming to America. Bright, informed, and educated people DON’T vote Democrat. They know what corrupt, lying, self-serving hacks they really are.

  2. What’s it going to take to change minds…,, when a representative loses a relative or spouse that gets killed by an illegal alien?!

  3. JUST SAY NO! NO TO CROSSING THE BORDER. NO TO UN ACOMPANIED MINORS. NO FOOD. NO CLOTHING. NO SHELTER. IMEDIATE TRANSPORTATION BACK ACROSS THE BORDER FOR MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN. CRIMINAL ALIANS GO TO GUANTANAMO!

    FINISH THE WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    JOE BIDEN THE MENTALLY CHALANGED ZOMBIE PRESIDENT; TURN YOURSELF INTO AN INSANE ASILUM WHERE YOU BELONG.

    REMEMBER THERE IS NOTHING PROGRESSIVE ABOUT THE PROGRESSIVES, THEY ARE COMMUNISTS!!!!

    1. No to transportation but a forced march with planes and helicopter overhead and vehicles on front and sides with orders to shoot to kill all who step out of line .

  4. Joe opened up the ENTIRE SOUTHERN BORDER just for ONE REASON and that reason was to start the MASSIVE OFFICIAL VOTER RECRUITING SEASON FOR BIDEN and his PUPPETEERS — Biden doesn’t give a DAMN about these people —except for THAT ONE REASON ……. We The People AREN’T FOOLS Biden..

    1. We The People AREN’T FOOLS Biden.” I’m not to sure about that? Joe and the democrats are getting away with it. The one issue you have to remember is that this is not a crisis but a well planned operation and it is working. When it is a planned event it is not a crisis.

      1. Spot on! Planned since the 1970s. Insidiously. Now in our faces. The perceptions of crisis is only for the losers. Tragically, the losers are populations of the world. Our planet has had “Dark Ages.”

    2. No. There are many reasons! No matter if or if not, the newcomers who mostly cannot speak English will bog down more infrastructures imaginable, the summing down of America, reduce overall wages, destroy school systems and make a population totally controlled by a government of elites. They want a banana Republic to be controlled. They have no use for Constitutional government, a 2 party system, Christianity… we Americans have lived so well, so blessed that we don’t see it coming!

  5. End the anchor baby scam. Anchor babies cannot be properly defined as citizens because their parents are illegal aliens. They are children of lawlessness. Illegal alien parents do not deserve for their anchor babies to be citizens of the host country.

  6. Then PUT A STOP to BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY!! It was FRAUD that PUT HIM THERE!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

    1. Steadfast, focused grassroots actions. Legal and ethical. Lots of tireless work ahead to save our country. Find like minded people and organizations. Contribute. Doggedly, one action, one call, one meeting at a time. Take care of yourselves, your families and neighbors. Each and every day, be grateful unto God, and pray.

  7. Unfortunately, the border is Biden’s nightmare unleashed on the good American patriots. At this point, probably nothing can be done. With the stroke of a pen this POS has brought America down. Our enemies did not have to do a thing, not one damn thing. This sack of manure will probably get the Pulitzer Prize, or something.

  8. Having a degree in Social Science tells me that One Day, we will have to Eliminate these Imported Dems., OR Be Eliminated by them!

  9. Biden has now turned our southern border into a complete shithole. It’s criminal what he’s done. Every single one of the criminals sitting in Washington DC should be physically removed and put on trial for the damages they’ve done to our country.

  10. By the way, look at all these people coming into our country without wearing masks or carrying Covid passports as several airlines are going to make us citizens do. The Biden administration allowing hundreds of thousands coming across our borders this year with no vetting tells us everything we need to know about their evil narratives and means. We may face more lockdowns due to scary variants… scary me now!!!! By the negligence on the border, Dems in this administration tells us that they know Covid is a hoax.

  11. it is sure a shame what the “new administration” is being allowed to do to our country… There are too many “events” both in the past and occurring now … the fornication of #45’s presidency at every turn … Bengazi … Origin of Covid … $3.00 gallon gasoline … the border ….. Judicial Watch is “investigating” … Hey Take some of this crap to court … it all sux … everyone wants $$$$$$ …..

    1. I belong to Judicial Watch and get their newspaper each month. It is unbelievable what they have found out. But try and get the government to act.
