Who Are the Victims of the Open Borders Agenda?

My VIPs for this week are the thirteen Americans who lost their lives at the hands of illegal aliens over the past twelve months. Seven of them were minors. According to Virginia Allen at The Daily Signal, the thirteen victims are as follows: Jocelyn Nungaray (age 12), Gloria Cascio (age 53), Ruby Garcia (age 25), Christopher Gadd (age 27), Travis Wolfe (age 12), Alex Wise Jr. (age 10), Lizbeth Medina (age 16), Jeremy Poou-Caceres (age 2), Laken Riley (age 22), Melissa Powell (age 47), Riordan Powell (age 16), Aiden Clark (age 11), and Rachel Morin (age 37). 

Allen reported the following about the victims and gave more details than are given in this post.

“The simple fact is that every crime committed by an illegal alien is one committed by an individual who should not have been at large in the country in the first place,” House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Mark Green told The Daily Signal.

“While the Left likes to hide behind flawed studies and incomplete data on illegal alien crime, families across our country are suffering from the tragic realities of President [Joe] Biden and Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas’ open borders,” said Green, R-Tenn.

The growing number of American lives lost at the hands of illegal immigrants coincides with an increase in the number of criminal illegal immigrants cross America’s borders annually.

According to Customs and Border Protection, 13,130 criminal noncitizens were encountered between ports of entry since the start of fiscal year 2024 on Oct. 1, setting up fiscal 2024 to outpace last year’s 15,267 such encounters.

“Instead of enforcing the laws they swore to uphold, Biden and Mayorkas have devoted themselves to a policy of mass catch-and-release,” Green said. “This radical agenda may excite their far-left base, but the rest of us are left wondering if one of our loved ones will be the next to fall victim to these violent crimes.”
