Joe Biden's border crisis is raising national security concerns as the government has apprehended more than 52,000 special interest aliens in just eight months, with nearly 90% of those in the San Diego sector. Special interest aliens are individuals with travel patterns similar to known terrorists, posing significant national security threats. Additionally, there have been 184,000 known gotaways in the same timeframe, totaling more than 1.85 million under the Biden administration.
The influx of individuals crossing the Southern border illegally, particularly through the San Diego sector, indicates an organized system at play involving cartels and other entities. This situation highlights the need for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and national security apparatus to closely examine and address the issue to prevent potential threats.
Concerns extend beyond national security, as instances of crime involving migrants have been reported in cities like New York and Chicago. In Chicago, a migrant was recently arrested for the 10th time, this time for aggravated battery of a police officer. Despite repeated offenses, some migrants are not considered enforcement priorities under the current administration, leading to challenges in ensuring public safety.
Sanctuary cities, while vocal about the crisis, continue to face difficulties due to existing policies and leniency towards prosecuting offenders. The lack of enforcement against individuals committing crimes, including those in the country illegally, raises questions about the effectiveness of current immigration policies.
The need for strict enforcement of laws and removal of individuals who pose a threat to public safety is emphasized. Allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to carry out their duties in removing criminal offenders is crucial in maintaining law and order. Failure to address these issues could lead to further challenges in ensuring the safety and security of communities.
