Biden opens border for hardened criminals

 Sharyl Attkisson:

With the record number of illegal immigrants allowed into the United States, there is a growing number of hardened criminals who were already convicted of violent crimes prior to their arrival here. Tens of thousands of such foreigners have crossed the southern border from Mexico in recent years, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics, with a notable acceleration during President Joe Biden’s first year in office.

U.S. border officials track the number of people who cross the border illegally, and who have a findable criminal record, either in the United States or in a country that shares its information.

During President Obama’s last year in office, the number of illegal immigrants arrested at the border with a known criminal record was 12,842.

Under President Trump, the number steadily declined. His first year, 2018, the number was cut by one-third to 8,531. Even as Trump opponents and open-border advocates fought border enforcement initiatives, the number of convicted criminals crossing into the United States and getting arrested dropped about 2,000 per year, until it was down to 2,438 in 2020.

Then under President Biden’s relatively open-border policy, the number bumped back up to well past 10,000 in 2021. (10,763)

Noted by type of crime committed, border officials counted more than 1,100 (1,178) assault, battery, and domestic violence convictions among noncitizens illegally crossing the border in 2021.

When it comes to sexual offenses, including rape, there were 156 known convictions discovered among illegal border crossers during Trump’s last year in office. The number more than tripled to 488 during Biden’s first year.

There are also dozens of stone-cold killers among the illegal border crossers: 60 convicted of homicide or manslaughter last year alone, shattering what was the recent high of 8 during Obama’s final year, and a 1000 percent spike over Trump’s last year in office (3).

Up more than 500 percent last year: the number of convictions for Driving Under the Influence (DUI); assault, battery and domestic violence; illegal drug possession and trafficking; and burglary, robbery, larceny, theft, and fraud.

Up nearly 700 percent in Biden’s first year: illegal gun possession and trafficking convictions.
...

These numbers do not count the "got aways" who evade the Border Patrol.  They are likely drug dealers from the Mexican cartels who have been bringing in murderous fentanyl that is responsible for the deaths of numerous Americans.   Opponents of Biden's open borders policy have alleged that some foreign countries are emptying their prisons allowing them to migrate to the US.
