Biden's Border Crisis Is Encouraging Record Crime from Illegal Aliens, Mexican Drug Cartels

President Joe Biden's open border has continuously worsened, with no end in sight. The only thing that will save this country and protect Americans again is to elect a Republican in office who will come in and shut down the border on day one.

So, let's look at the havoc Biden's open border policies have caused for the United States.

During a House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emergency Management and Technology hearing this week, a Long Island, New York official sounded the alarm on how illegal migrants are having to commit crimes to pay back dangerous Mexican drug cartels.

Republican Bruce Blakeman said that law enforcement is facing the heavy impacts of illegal immigration and that they can't keep up with the massive amount of crime migrants are committing daily.

The New York official suggested the reason illegal aliens are committing crimes at such a fierce rate is so that they can pay back Mexican drug cartels that helped smuggle them into the U.S. to begin with.

Blakeman details more below:

We have seen an increase in crime, basically because you have these organized gangs that are part of the drug cartels from Mexico and other countries who have come to the metropolitan area. They're residing primarily in New York City, and they do cross-border crime … I think common sense people realize that the problem is that we don't know who's coming in. We can't control the numbers, and they are committing crimes. They are also creating burdens on our young people that are devastating. In the United States, over 65,000 young people have overdosed on fentanyl. Where is it coming from? It's coming from south of the border, and many of it is coming from Chinese nationals. I read today that there were 24,000 Chinese nationals that were detained at the border. Those are the ones that were detained. How many got through? We need to secure our borders to make sure that we know who is in this country … this is taking away resources that we desperately need to take care of our own citizens.

Blakeman explained how illegal migrants come to the U.S. owing cartels a large sum of money after being transported over the border by them. He said that if they don't pay back their debt, the migrant's "families would be seriously harmed if not killed in their native country."

As a result, illegal migrants engage in crimes such as burglary and shoplifting, burdening the local police departments.

According to data, cartels have made a record amount of money over the last two years. In 2021, deadly cartels raked in an estimated $13 billion just from human trafficking and smuggling alone.

Biden's Leftist policies have encouraged tens of millions of illegal aliens to travel across the southern border, offering a lucrative business venture for cartels who make thousands of dollars on every person they smuggle into the U.S.

Background

Postings from Brisbane, Australia by John Ray (M.A.; Ph.D.) -- former member of the Australia-Soviet Friendship Society, former anarcho-capitalist and former member of the British Conservative party.

Why is "La Raza" the one Spanish term that is NEVER translated in the American mass media? Because translating it would make it a lot less respectable. It means "THE RACE" -- The mixed Hispanic "race" of Mexico. Racism is fine South of the Rio Grande only, apparently.

The "line" of this blog is that immigration should be SELECTIVE. That means that:

1). A national government should be in control of it. The U.S. and U.K. governments are not but the Australian government has shown that the government of a prosperous Western country can be. Up until its loss of office in 2007, the conservative Howard government had all but eliminated illegal immigration. The present Leftist government has however restarted the flow of illegals by repealing many of the Howard government regulations.

2). Selectivity should be based on "the content of a man's character, not on the color of his skin", as MLK said. To expand that a little: Immigrants should only be accepted if they as individuals seem likely to make a positive net contribution to the country. Many "refugees" would fail that test: Muslims and Africans particularly. Educational level should usually be a pretty fair proxy for the individual's likely value to the receiving country. There will, of course, be exceptions but it is nonetheless unlikely that a person who has not successfully completed High School will make a net positive contribution to a modern Western society.

3). Immigrants should be neither barred NOR ACCEPTED solely because they are of some particular ethnic origin. Blacks are vastly more likely to be criminal than are whites or Chinese, for instance, but some whites and some Chinese are criminal. It is the criminality that should matter, not the race.

4). The above ideas are not particularly blue-sky. They roughly describe the policies of the country where I live -- Australia. I am critical of Australian policy only insofar as the "refugee" category for admission is concerned. All governments have tended to admit as refugees many undesirables. It seems to me that more should be required of them before refugees are admitted -- for instance a higher level of education or a business background.

5). Perhaps the most amusing assertion in the immigration debate is that high-income countries like the USA and Britain NEED illegal immigrants to do low-paid menial work. "Who will pick our crops?" (etc.) is the cry. How odd it is then that Australians get all the normal services of a modern economy WITHOUT illegal immigrants! Yes: Before the pandemic, you usually COULD buy a lettuce in Australia for a dollar or thereabouts. And Australia IS a major exporter of primary products.

6). I am a libertarian conservative so I reject the "open door" policy favoured by many libertarians and many Leftists. Both those groups tend to have a love of simplistic generalizations that fail to deal with the complexity of the real world. It seems to me that if a person has the right to say whom he/she will have living with him/her in his/her own house, so a nation has the right to admit to living among them only those individuals whom they choose.
