The first question is why are foreign gang members and criminals allowed in? How many were caught and had the Biden-Harris admin forcing the Border Patrol to release them? Gang members and criminals are not eligible for asylum hearings, and, if they were checked they should have been immediately deported
NYC is now home to over 58K ‘criminal’ migrants — including more than 1,000 gang members: ICE
There are over 58,000 illegal migrants who are convicted felons or facing criminal charges roaming NYC — and close to 670,000 across the country, startling new data obtained by The Post shows.
Of the 759,218 illegal-border crossers living in the Big Apple the feds were aware of as of Nov. 17, a jaw-dropping 58,626 — 7.7% — were either previously convicted of crimes or had criminal charges pending, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency data.
And of the 58,626 migrants with rap sheets, 1,053, nearly 2%, are “suspected or known gang members,” according to the agency.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) pointed blame for the stunning stats at soft-on-crime and lax border-control policies pushed by President Biden and other Democrats.
“It’s shocking that Democrats have gone so far out of their way to harbor gang members, drug traffickers and other criminals who are in our country illegally,” said Malliotakis, the lone Republican representing the left-leaning Big Apple.
And guess who gets to pay for them? The American taxpayer, and, in the case of Sanctuary City New York, the mostly Democrat voters. Are you happy, New Yorkers? Do you find this a good use of your high tax rate dollars? Do you enjoy the crime? And the city is shielding the criminal illegals from federal law enforcement. They refuse to allow the immigration status of anyone caught committing crime to be checked. They will release them if they happen to learn they are not a US citizen before ICE can come get them, free to roam and commit more crime.
