Why Are Criminal Illegal Aliens Allowed to Roam U.S. Freely?
Heritage Foundation ^ | Oct 17, 2024 | Charles “Cully” Stimson

The number of illegal aliens convicted or charged with homicide, kidnapping and sexual assault is 39,468.

Yet the Department of Homeland Security acknowledges that it has detained only 1,091 of them. That’s less than 3%.

These deliberate policies have left a trail of misery and death across the country...

Raise your hand if you think all convicted murderers, burglars, drug dealers, thieves, armed robbers, rapists, arsonists and weapons traffickers should be incarcerated. You’re in good company.

Law-abiding people across the political spectrum agree with you. But not the Biden-Harris administration, including Alejandro Mayorkas, its previously impeached homeland security secretary. It has allowed over 95% of illegal aliens who have been convicted of serious crimes to roam the country freely.

The administration’s acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Patrick Lecheiter, has confirmed this. On Sept. 25, he wrote Congress a letter offering those numbers in detail but in a roundabout way. The letter included a chart that divides the 662,566 criminal illegal aliens into two broad categories: those detained by ICE and those not detained.

The chart also lists, by crime, the number of convicted illegal aliens who have been detained vs. not detained and the number of illegal aliens charged, by crime, in the detained vs. not detained ICE docket.

Keep in mind that in the United States, the median time served for convicted murderers is 17.5 years, 7.2 years for rapists and 3.2 years for robbers, according to the Department of Justice.

As a result of the administration’s mass parole, “catch and release” and other irresponsible immigration policies, the percentage of alien criminals convicted of serious crimes in custody is abysmal:

...

Percentages aside, the pure number of alien criminals convicted of serious crimes whom the Biden-Harris administration allowed to roam the country instead of locking them up is stunning:

Burglary: 14,301.

Dangerous drugs: 56,533.

Fraud: 15,979.

Homicide: 13,099.

Larceny: 18,234.

Robbery: 10,031.

Sexual assault: 15,811.

Weapons offenses: 13,423.

Think about those numbers for a minute. In 2022, there were 21,156 homicides in the United States. Yet the Biden-Harris administration decided to allow 13,099 illegal aliens who were convicted of homicide and 1,845 others charged with homicide to roam our streets.

What excuse can there be for this reckless choice?

Keep in mind that ICE has a capacity of 41,500 spaces to detain aliens. Elements of the federal government, including the military, could set up temporary holding sites on military bases and other federal properties for tens of thousands of more criminal aliens. So why isn’t every single convicted murderer, rapist and weapons trafficker in ICE custody right now?

The number of illegal aliens convicted or charged with homicide, kidnapping and sexual assault is 39,468. That means that every one of these killers, kidnappers and sexual deviants could be locked up, keeping them out of our communities and protecting the public from more crime. Yet the Department of Homeland Security acknowledges that it has detained only 1,091 of them. That’s less than 3%.

These deliberate policies have left a trail of misery and death across the country.

That is particularly true for the families of those targeted—such as New York police officers Richard Yarusso and Christopher Abreu, who were shot. A Venezuelan gang member has been charged with the attack. Or Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was killed in Athens, Georgia. An illegal alien from Venezuela with a criminal record has been charged with murder in her death.

Border czar Kamala Harris has touted her time as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general as proof that she is tough on crime. As our colleague Zack Smith has written, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

But think about it another way: Would you approve of a district attorney with a track record of sending to prison only 2.1% of convicted murderers and 3.2% of convicted rapists? We wouldn’t.

This is outrageous. This is dangerous. This is reckless. Everyone in the country who has a family member who has been injured, killed or assaulted, or has had their property burglarized, stolen, burned or otherwise damaged by these 662,566 criminal illegal aliens should know whom to blame for these criminals being in the country and allowed to roam the streets.

It’s President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Accountability requires that those who released the
criminals lose their homes, their freedom,
and personally face imprisonment for the times
and crimes accrued by the criminals THEY released.

The criminal population is the social ally of Communist systems. They keep the people scared and looking to the government o protect them. They keep the people unsettled and and not trusting on another. They create social chaos which helps a totalitarian system to rule. In our case the rulers let violent prisoners loose early and do not incarcerate many more or even ring charges. for the purpose of sowing that social chaos.

“Why Are Criminal Illegal Aliens Allowed to Roam U.S. Freely?”

Because they are potential Democratic voters? Also when law and order totally breaks down then the Demoncrats can justify using the military to take control and suspend the Constitution and impose martial law.

It’s because The Party doesn’t like Americans.

In fact, The Party hates Americans.

I will argue they are not allowed except within the utopian City States where there is in effect, no law.

Criminal activity is merely re distribution from those who have to those who don’t have.

For America to be America, the City States must be destroyed. Co existence kills

“These deliberate policies have left a trail of misery and death across the country.”

Dims create a crisis, then take advantage if the crisis.

Like their response to the Hurricanes. Their non response creates misery and death to other Americans.

If the victim of any criminal act committed by an Illegal Alien is a Public Employee, there should be NO CHARGES FILED.

As their numbers build, they are starting to get bolder. Bidenskyyyyyy and Herass have opened the candy store door wide and the world’s freeloaders are piling in. An international “Black Friday” and it’s the Americans who are being trampled on.

Its still not obvious to some people

America is undergoing a very radical, marxist-lead, racial and social-engineering, and grasp for total power.
