Blog #134 Migrant Crime defines Biden’s Legacy
Meranda Devine, NY Post, June 5, 2025
The disasters of Joe Biden's open border policy are coming home to roost. The Molotov cocktail attack by a Hamas-loving Egyptian illegal migrant on a group of American Jews in Boulder, Colo., is just one deadly consequence.
The national police blotter is bulging with rapes, murders, robberies, assault, antisemitic attacks and all manner of crimes that never would have been committed if not for Biden's insane decision to disband the suite of border protection policies President Trump had successfully implemented in his first term.
Just in the last month, Larisha Thompson, a 40-year-old mother of two, was murdered in her car during a random robbery attempt by six illegal migrants from Honduras aged 13-21 in South Carolina, and 18-year-old Air Force cadet Ava Moore was killed in a hit-and-run on her Jet Ski in Texas by two illegal migrants. Their names can be added to the growing tally of victims like Laken Riley, Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray, whose blood is on Biden's hands.
It was a point of pride for Biden to stop building Trump's border wall, abandon Trump's Remain in Mexico policy and institute catch-and-release so that 15 million to 20 million illegal migrants crossed the border during his presidency and melted into the heartland.
He did it all with a flurry of executive orders on Day One, and a malign leftist as Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Despite Biden's lie that he was powerless to close the border and needed Congress to pass new laws, Trump in his first 100 days managed to virtually stop all illegal migration with executive orders and a strong border czar, Tom Homan, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Biden and Mayorkas' deliberate rush to bring in as many illegal migrants as quickly as possible meant that vetting fell by the wayside.
"All of us who are in national security, this is what keeps us up at night," one senior administration source told me this week. "This unknown factor of having an open- border asylum system being exploited by millions of people who have come into this country — and we don't know who they are."
He points out that under the cursory vetting system of the Biden years, there was no derogatory information on Boulder firebombing suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who was granted a tourist visa and illegally overstayed with no consequences.
What we do know about potential "ticking time bombs" who have entered the country is frightening enough.
When Trump-appointed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard came into office, she immediately ordered the National Counterterrorism Center to cross-reference asylum applications from visa overstayers and illegal border crossers with the database of known terrorists.
They identified 1,200 illegal aliens with terror ties who were allowed to remain in the US by Biden. These are people who applied for asylum but were released into the US because Biden had eliminated Remain in Mexico, which used to allow for thorough vetting of asylum claims before anyone entered the country — and also provided a deterrent to bogus claims.
The intelligence source says another enormous risk Biden has saddled us with lies in the roughly 100,000 Afghan evacuees who were rushed in after Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan without proper vetting.
