Venezuela emptying prisons in response to Biden's open borders

 Andrea Widburg:

Last week, Monica Showalter wrote about her suspicion that Venezuela is taking a page out of Cuba's book and emptying its prisons, with instructions to the departing prisoners to head for America.  On Sunday, Sara Carter published a post confirming that a DHS intelligence report has been warning the Border Patrol to be on the lookout for violent criminals in Venezuela's caravans (although how they're supposed to identify them must remain a mystery).

On Thursday, Monica wrote:

The Venezuelans as a migrant group seem to have many criminals in their ranks, which appears to be a reflection of the massive crime in their own country.  While some Venezuelans indeed may qualify for asylum, these people should not even been allowed in the country under Biden's catch-and-release policy.  Releasing the slums of Caracas onto the people of Florida is a crime in itself.  The violence seen coming from this group is striking — it reminds me of the Marielito criminal onslaught that plagued Florida when Cuban dictator Fidel Castro emptied out his prisons and mental asylums in 1980, and a huge wave of criminals were foisted onto the U.S. 

Monica explained that the government eventually put all the Cubans into detention centers to separate honest wheat from criminal chaff.  "The Venezuelans," she wrote, "face no such brakes under the Biden administration, and Biden himself is exerting no pressure on Venezuela to take the criminals among them back, which is what past presidents have done when Castro acted out."

It turns out that Monica's instincts were spot-on.  Carter states as fact, not speculation, that Venezuela is unloading its prison population onto America:

An internal DHS intelligence report reveals that the Department of Homeland Security has information warning Border Patrol agents to be on the lookout for violent criminals entering the United States illegally from Venezuela among the illegal migrant caravans, according information first obtained by Breitbart news and sources interviewed by SaraACarter.com.  These violent inmates were allegedly released from prison early, pushed to join caravans heading to the United States, according to DHS sources that spoke to SaraACarter.com.

Carter, like Monica, was not surprised to learn that Venezuela is shunting its violent prison population to America:

It is no surprise that this is happening. On my recent trip to Central America, a number of senior level officials, to include Guatemalan President Alejandro Eduardo Giammattei, warned that among the migrants fleeing to the United States were many criminals and possible prisoners that appeared to have been released early from nations like Venezuela.

This is one of the consequences of having open borders.  Anti-American regimes dumb their prison population into the US.  We are also seeing a huge increase ion crime in the US.
