Kamala Harris continues to advocate for the failed “bipartisan immigration bill” as the solution to the border crisis. However, a more effective approach may be the “Be Gone Act” introduced by Sen. Jodi Ernst, which aims to expand the definition of “aggravated felony” to include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence, making migrant sex offenders eligible for deportation.
Recent data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, provided to Rep. Tony Gonzales after significant delay, reveals that a staggering 662,566 migrants with criminal backgrounds, including 13,099 murderers and 15,000 convicted of sexual assault, are present in the country. These numbers only account for known criminals, and with over 1.7 million “gotaways” in the Biden administration’s years, the actual figure is likely much higher.
It is evident that “sanctuary” laws have shielded these violent offenders, allowing them to evade deportation and continue to pose a threat to Americans and migrants. The lack of communication between local law enforcement and federal authorities enables criminals to commit further crimes with impunity.
The necessity for a stringent approach to immigration, as advocated by Ernst, is clear. This approach should prioritize the safety of American communities and ensure that only legal migrants who can positively contribute to the nation are admitted.
Despite claims of compassion from Harris, Biden, and Tim Walz, releasing rapists and murderers into communities is not a humane solution. It is essential for Democrats in Congress to support a new bipartisan bill that focuses on admitting legal migrants and upholding the rule of law.
