New job for the Border Patrol: Shooting bandits
As if the Border Patrol doesn't already have enough to do changing diapers and 'processing' tens of thousands of illegal border crossers to their destinations of choice in the U.S., now somebody's got bandit duty.
According to Fox News:
Border patrol agents in California shot and killed a bandit who was robbing other migrants as they crossed into the U.S. from Mexico.
Multiple U.S. Customs and Border Protection sources confirmed that a criminal migrant who crossed the border in the San Diego sector was shot and killed by a member of the Border Patrol’s elite Border Patrol Tactical unit, or BORTAC, early Sunday morning.
The incident happened in a remote area where the bandits had been seen crossing into the U.S., robbing migrants and returning to Mexico.
Border Patrol agents responded to "bandit activity" on Sunday morning, when they came across a small group of bandits who were robbing migrants as they were walking to an area where migrants surrender to agents so they can be processed.
So, bandits are now becoming a problem at the border, a problem we didn't have much of until Joe Biden opened the border.
It's shocking stuff, pretty much like the Wild West now, except that banditry isn't the only illegal thing going on at the U.S. border -- the crossings themselves are illegal, but those doing it are viewed as now entitled to a safe illegal crossing, not an unsafe one, complete with security guards, still illegal as heck, though and more service with a smile.
Now, there wouldn't be any bandit activity if there weren't fat, juicy, easy targets for bandits to rob to begin with. Bandits could just as easily rob people in cities and plenty of them do. But they know that most designer-dud-clad illegal migrants, some with suitcases, carry a lot of money. And so long as those illegal crossings continue and migrants know that if they can get in, they can stay, the bandit harvestings will be ample.
So much for the myth perpetrated by the Biden administration and the NGOs that all migrants are utterly penniless, pitiful refugees, and therefore in need of full lifetime services, to be administered by them by the government. Actually, the illegals have got a lot of money and can pay for their own transport food, and hotels, but why pay it when the U.S. is handing it out for free? Under Biden's catch-and-release, no I.D., no questions asked, they can always get it for free. Studies have shown that it's not the very poor who make long journeys to the U.S. for illegal border crossings, it's the lower middle classes of middling third world countries, who frequently exploit the very poor on their way (as I wrote about here) and who have plenty of money to pay for human smugglers and cartel "crossing taxes."
Bandits can see what's going on with this human trafficking trade and are taking their opportunities.
Now the Border Patrol has shot one.
Good luck to you, the U.S. citizen, if you shoot an illegal migrant on your border ranch robbing you in this supposedly "non-violent" crime, but the Border Patrol did what the Border Patrol needed to do in Wild West conditions, same as was done in the previous Wild West. Too bad about the Americans who have been told by judges they cannot defend their property from illegal border crossers, some of whom are coming to rob them and virtually all of whom are littering and doing property damage. Some of them are in the San Diego area, and one rancher in Arizona is on trial for murder for shooting an illegal migrant on his own land who was threatening his wife.
Illegal border crossers are apparently the only ones entitled to state protection from bandits and criminals.
What it highlights is illegal border crossing is creating its own universe of special interests and services. The illegal migrant conveyor belt has not only marketed illegal aliens as being in need free food, clothing, housing, transport, and legal assistance, forging a vast NGO empire of special interests with a vested interest in illegal border crossings, it's also sprung up "needs" for new services, such as full security for migrants from bandits in order to make every illegal border crossing a safe illegal border crossing. Guess who pays for that additional institution of new services for migrants?
This far from the only one. Yesterday, CBS8, a local television channel in San Diego, reported that the biggest state university hospital system, U.C. San Diego Health, has encountered so many migrants injured from falls that it's been compelled to set up a new migrant border-wall-fall injury unit, serving some 400 migrants who refused to respect that a wall was there and decided to try their luck climbing over. Some of these falls and injuries are severe, and many of these injured migrants will require a lifetime of care. The Border Patrol should start posting photographs of illegal border-wall jumpers in wheelchairs as a warning to those who plan to jump, but that probably won't happen. The U.S. will just be forced to pay for their lifetime of care.
They could solve this in two minutes by shutting down the border and sending to jail anyone who crosses into the U.S. outside a valid port of entry. Instead, they'd rather extend the empire of services to migrants -- and hand the dirty, dangerous job of hosing out bandits to the Border Patrol. The Border Patrol shouldn't have to be dealing with this kind of threat at all on a regular basis, but a steady stream of illegal border crossings is now demanding it.
Shut it down now.

It Begins… California Migrant Crisis 🔥 Mass Migrant Drop-off Every Day 🚨 Texas Border Migrant Crisis
Footage Of ILLEGAL Migrant Tunnels UNDER Mexican-US Border Goes Viral
WE CAN'T SAVE AMERICA UNTIL WE PUT JOE BIDEN OUT!
Nationally, in fiscal year (FY) 2023, ERO arrested 4,390 illegal aliens with sex and sexual assault charges or convictions – an average of 12 per day.
ICE: 275 Previously-Convicted Illegal Alien Sex Offenders Nabbed in One 12-Day Sweep
In one 12-day period this month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers apprehended 275 convicted illegal alien sex offenders across the U.S.
From February 5-16, ERO arrested about two dozen illegal alien convicted sex offenders a day during a nationwide sweep, ICE reports. The operation follows a similar effort in January, in which ERO officers apprehended 171 illegal aliens with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide or assault against children, in addition to sexual offenses.
ERO apprehensions over the two-month period include a range of sexual offenses, such as:
- A 26-year-old citizen of El Salvador in Houston, Texas, convicted of felony aggravated sexual assault with a firearm.
- A 44-year-old citizen of Mexico in the Bronx, New York, convicted of felony attempted sexual abuse 1st degree: person incapable of consent/physically helpless.
- A 71-year-old citizen of Mexico in Pittsburg, California, convicted of felony continuous sexual abuse of a child.
- A 58-year-old citizen of El Salvador in Gaithersburg, Maryland, convicted of felony sodomy first degree and felony sex abuse first degree.
- A 25-year-old citizen of Mexico in Denver, Colorado, convicted of felony child prostitution – soliciting.
- A 34-year-old citizen of Guatemala in Gloucester who was recently convicted locally of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14 – who had been released by the Gloucester District Court, despite ERO Boston having filed an immigration detainer against him.
Unsurprisingly, ERO apprehension counts in the February sweep were high in self-proclaimed illegal immigrant “sanctuary” cities in the border state of California. The San Francisco ERO office reported 41 arrests of illegal alien sex offenders, while the Los Angeles ERO announced 36 apprehensions from the operation.
Not all apprehensions were in southwest border states, however. Many were made in sanctuary cities in other parts of the U.S. For example, Colorado’s ERO made 25 arrests, including 19 in Denver. And, in the far northwest, the Seattle ERO nabbed 12 illegal alien sex offenders during February’s 12-day operation.
Nationally, in fiscal year (FY) 2023, ERO arrested 4,390 illegal aliens with sex and sexual assault charges or convictions – an average of 12 per day.
Break Your Silence: Jim Banks Calls On Joe Biden to Name Laken Riley at SOTU
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) is calling on President Joe Biden to break his silence on the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien released into the United States, during his State of the Union (SOTU) address.
On February 22, Laken Riley went for a morning jog around the University of Georgia (UGA) campus in Athens, Georgia. Riley was a nursing student at nearby Augusta University.
When Riley did not return for hours, her roommate called the police. Her body was ultimately found brutally disfigured near Lake Herrick on UGA’s campus. The following day, 26-year-old illegal alien Jose Antonio Ibarra from Venezuela was arrested and charged with her murder.

Ibarra was released into the U.S. interior via Biden’s parole pipeline in September 2022 after crossing the southern border. He was arrested in the sanctuary city of New York City as well as Athens in 2023, before Riley’s murder, but was never turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
In a letter to Biden on Monday, Banks said the president should acknowledge Riley in his SOTU address:
As president, you have the executive authority to reinstate the successful Trump-era immigration policies that you reversed, such as Remain in Mexico, Title 42, and construction of the border wall. These Trump policies were effective and would significantly contribute to securing our borders and protecting the lives of innocent Americans. [Emphasis added]
Your failure to publicly acknowledge this tragedy is unacceptable. You have a great opportunity to respect the wishes of Laken Riley’s mother by breaking your silence and saying her name at the upcoming State of the Union address on Thursday, March 7, 2024. [Emphasis added]

Banks, in a statement, said Riley “was living her dream until it was shattered by Joe Biden’s wide-open border” and called her murder “a totally avoidable tragedy.”
“Biden owes it to her family and the American people to say her name,” Banks said.
Angel Mom Allyson Phillips said her daughter’s murder was a “senseless and avoidable tragedy” and has posted a heart-shaped image of Riley with the words “Laken Riley: Say Her Name.”
While visiting the southern border on Thursday, a reporter asked Biden about Riley’s murder, but he ignored the question:
C-SPAN“Mr. President, do you bear any responsibility for Laken Riley’s death?” the reporter asked to no response from Biden. In contrast, presumptive Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump revealed that he has spoken with Riley’s parents, whom he called “incredible people.”

Joe Biden’s ‘Sanctuary Country’ Orders Cut Loose Illegal Alien Wanted for Rape
President Joe Biden’s so-called “sanctuary country” orders ensured that an illegal alien, wanted for rape in the sanctuary state of Oregon and already ordered deported from the United States, was not immediately taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
Juan Jose-Sebastian, a 26-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, first arrived at the United States-Mexico border in November 2015 as an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) and was subsequently released into the United States interior.
In July 2019, a federal immigration judge ordered Jose-Sebastian deported from the United States, but ICE failed to deport him. At a later date, Jose-Sebastian was charged in Washington County, Oregon, on three counts of rape and sexual assault.
Last month, Jose-Sebastian was arrested in Martin County, Florida, for driving without a license. Initially, ICE officials refused to take custody of Jose-Sebastian because he is not considered a priority for deportation under Biden’s sanctuary country orders.
Likewise, Washington County officials refused to extradite Jose-Sebastian back to Oregon to face the rape charges against him. As a result, Martin County was forced to release Jose-Sebastian from jail.
“I had no more legal authority to hold onto the suspect … when my corrections deputy sent word over that ICE said they don’t have bed space, I was absolutely shocked,” Martin County Sheriff William Snyder told WPBF 25 News.
Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) quickly intervened in the case, spurring ICE officials to request custody of Jose-Sebastian and claiming they were not aware of the rape charges against him in Washington County.
“How stupid is this? This illegal immigrant was supposed to be deported, but that wasn’t good enough for ICE to hold him, even though ICE was told he had a warrant for sexual assault,” Mast told WPBF 25 News. “The Biden administration continues to prioritize illegals over Americans.”
ICE officials worked with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office to take Jose-Sebastian into custody on March 2. He will remain in federal custody while he awaits deportation.
