CARR: 3rd-World criminals cause 1st-World headache
These countries export criminals
Instead of railing against “s---hole countries,” President Trump probably should have stuck with the approach he took last year while discussing the Muslim countries that are flooding the U.S. with terrorists.
“We have to stop this until we can figure out what the hell is going on.”
The problem, of course, is that this torrent of immigration from the Third World includes a wildly disproportionate number of terrorists, drug dealers, gangbangers and illiterate non-English-speaking beggars who are angrily demanding handouts. No one can deny that.
Let’s talk about their crime first, then welfare.
Just before Christmas, the Justice Department released statistics on the population in federal prisons — 31 percent of the nation’s 185,507 inmates in custody of the Bureau of Prison are “known or suspected illegals.”
Can you imagine the numbers in state prisons like, say, California or New York, where the Democrat governors refuse to release the damning statistics on illegal-immigrant crime — for obvious reasons. And 90 percent of the U.S. prison population is locked up in state or local pens.
The U.S. Sentencing Commission releases statistics on federal crimes committed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. In all, immigrants represent 8.4 percent of the adult population residing in the U.S. Yet, between 2011 and 2016, immigrants accounted for 42.4 percent of kidnapping convictions, 31.5 percent of drug convictions and 23 percent of money-laundering convictions.
To paraphrase George W. Bush, they’re only committing the crimes Americans can’t be bothered to commit anymore.
One of the countries Trump referred to was El Salvador. Ever since he decided to end their “Temporary Protected Status,” these foreign mendicants have been complaining that they can’t go back to El Salvador because it is, basically, a s---hole country.
The day Trump made his allegedly shocking remarks, the feds rounded up 17 more MS-13 illegal-immigrant Salvadorans who “report to MS-13 in El Salvador,” according to the DEA press release.
On Friday, in federal district court here in Boston, another illegal-immigrant MS-13 gangbanger from El Salvador pleaded guilty to unlawful reentry. His name is Elenilson Gonzalez-Gonzalez (you can call him “Gonzalez” for short.)
Remember, in dealing with these criminals, the feds often allow them to plead down to simple “unlawful entry” or some such felony. Which means those stats from the Sentencing Commission aren’t really an accurate picture of the horror they’re committing against Americans.
Here’s another headline on a Friday press release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston: “Dominican National Sentenced for Heroin and Fentanyl Conspiracy.” How about this DOJ press release, from Connecticut: “Uzbek National Living in New Britain Charged with Immigration Offenses.”
More celebrations of diversity from the you-know-what nations, as reported by the DOJ in Connecticut: “Nigerian National Admits Role in Business E-Mail Compromise Scheme.”
This latest controversy erupted during negotiations over the Democrats’ insane scheme to protect 800,000 illegalimmigrant criminals they call “Dreamers.” Their dream, our nightmare. A Harvard researcher set up a website and surveyed 2000 of them — 73 percent live in welfare-eligible households.
Now do you understand these illegal-immigrant dreamers’ dreams? To remain on welfare, forever.
Last month the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that allowing these freeloaders to remain in the U.S. living on the arm would cost taxpayers $25.9 billion in welfare over the next decade. And they would only generate $900 million in taxes. In other words, most Dreamers will never get off the dole.
If we don’t do something about this insanity, America is gone. It’s going to turn into a, well, do I have to spell out what kind of country we will all very shortly be living in?
