The latest episode in the ongoing saga of the Biden administration’s border policies features former President Trump delivering a scathing critique of Vice President Harris and President Biden. According to Trump, their immigration policies are not just unsafe—they are actively dismantling the very fabric of American society. He believes they’re opening the floodgates to millions of illegal immigrants, a move he equates with handing over criminals to the United States on a silver platter.
Keen on making a point, Trump has argued that crime rates in countries like Venezuela are down precisely because those governments are sending their criminals our way. What a shocking revelation! Apparently, Harris’s goal is to populate the U.S. with those who have extensive criminal backgrounds, and not just your average wrongdoer. Among the alarming figures cited by Trump, there are over 13,000 convicted murderers—yes, that’s right, murderers—who have been allowed to cross the border illegally. This massive influx of lawbreakers is set to be one of the worst blunders in U.S. history, a trend that’s often attributed to the political calculation that these newcomers will cast their ballots in favor of Democrats.
While viewers might think the matter was put to rest on the day Harris decided to visit the border for a photo op, it turns out the scandal only intensified. The details emerged in a letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales, revealing that as of July 21, 2024, there were nearly 663,000 noncitizens with criminal histories listed on ICE’s national docket. Among them, the number of convicted murderers is staggering. For anyone wondering why crime rates might be spiking in American neighborhoods, these statistics offer a terrifying glimpse.

In the face of mounting evidence, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was quick to dismiss these figures when Fox News’s Peter Doocy questioned her about them. In her typical fashion, she waved off the troubling numbers as “misrepresented.” This response would be amusing if it weren’t so alarming, as it demonstrated either a profound lack of awareness or a deliberate attempt to obscure the truth.
Jean-Pierre pointed to explanations from the Department of Homeland Security, arguing that the data spans decades and includes individuals whose fates were determined long before the current administration took office. It seems the Democrats are clutching at straws, trying to reshape the narrative that the border crisis is anything but a disaster. The administration’s reasoning, however, fails to account for the reality on the ground, which is growing increasingly volatile and dangerous for law-abiding American citizens as the number of undocumented criminals continues to rise. Does anyone really believe this approach will lead to safer streets? The evidence suggests not.
