During Monday’s White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy confronted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the shocking number of illegal immigrants convicted of homicide currently living in the United States. According to data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), there are currently 13,099 convicted murderers who crossed the border illegally and are now freely roaming our streets.
Doocy questioned the danger that these individuals pose to American communities, to which Jean-Pierre responded by claiming that the data presented by ICE is a “false representation.” She went on to say that it has been fact-checked and debunked by multiple news outlets.
However, the truth is that over 662,000 non-citizens with criminal histories are currently on ICE’s national docket. This includes 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 with pending criminal charges. Among these individuals are also 15,811 illegal immigrants convicted of sexual assault and 14,301 convicted of burglary. This is a significant and alarming number that cannot be ignored or downplayed.
Jean-Pierre tried to shift the blame by talking about the need for agencies to assure that they are not “lying” to the American people. But the fact remains that these are real numbers, and they cannot be manipulated or dismissed. It is the responsibility of the government to protect its citizens, and that includes being honest and transparent about the true extent of the issue at hand.
The Department of Homeland Security spokesperson attempted to discredit the data by pointing out that it goes back four decades. However, this does not change the reality that there are currently 13,099 illegal immigrants convicted of murder living amongst us, and who knows how many more have entered the country undetected or have not yet been caught for their crimes.
We have seen time and time again the devastating and tragic consequences of illegal immigration and the crimes committed by those who should have never been allowed to enter our country. Just this year, we have heard about the rape and murder of Rachel Morin by an illegal immigrant, and the murder of nursing student Laken Riley by another.
These are not isolated incidents, and it is unacceptable that our government is not doing more to protect its citizens from these dangerous and violent individuals. We need strong immigration policies and border security to prevent more criminals from entering our country, and we need to hold sanctuary cities accountable for their refusal to cooperate with ICE and protect their communities.
The American people deserve to be safe in their own country, and it is time for the Biden administration to acknowledge the severity of this issue and take action to address it before any more innocent lives are lost at the hands of illegal immigrants with criminal records. This is not a matter of political ideology, but a matter of public safety. The lives of American citizens must come first.
