The ICE Report: A Disturbing Revelation
The latest report from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has revealed an alarming number of immigrants with criminal convictions in the United States. The data shows that hundreds of thousands of migrants with criminal backgrounds are currently on ICE’s non-detained docket. This includes 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 migrants with pending criminal charges. This revelation has sparked outrage and intensified scrutiny on the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of immigration policies.
Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas and House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green have expressed their shock at these staggering numbers. Critics argue that the administration’s approach to “release and monitor” has failed to protect American communities. Furthermore, some argue that current efforts to secure the border and reform immigration policy are woefully inadequate.
Vice President Harris’s Controversial Border Visit
Coinciding with this damning report, Vice President Kamala Harris visited the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona.
Four years too late.
Her appearance next to the wall built during Trump’s presidency was widely seen as a political gesture meant to allay voter concerns. During her visit, Harris emphasized bipartisan border security reforms and new executive actions aiming to reduce unlawful crossings.
But nobody took her seriously because she has spent the last four years doing nothing, and spent the four years before that complaining about President Donald Trump’s measures to protect the border. What did she think would happen? That people would just suddenly believe she has changed her mind?
Moreover, the visit comes amid a troubling political landscape for the Democrats, with polls indicating that the party trails Republicans on immigration issues. Former President Donald Trump and his allies have utilized the ICE report to claim that the Biden administration has allowed tens of thousands of criminals into the U.S.
“Kamala should immediately cancel her News Conference because it was just revealed that 13,000 convicted murderers entered our Country during her three and a half year period as Border Czar,” Trump stated.
And he’s right.
If this is an immigration election – and it seems to be – then surely only Trump can win…
