The corrupt Democratic Party is truly out of touch with reality as another survey reveals most Americans support the deportation of illegal immigrants who have leeched off taxpayers’ money and resources. Meanwhile, thousands of citizens continue to suffer the wreck created by the Biden-Harris regime.
A recent Marist Poll shows overwhelming demand for action to deport illegal immigrants, particularly those convicted of serious crimes. The survey follows alarming data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which revealed that 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories are currently on ICE’s national docket. Among these individuals are over 13,000 convicted murderers and more than 15,000 convicted sexual offenders.
Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) responded swiftly to this data by introducing the Be Gone Act, a bill that would require federal immigration officials to prioritize the deportation of illegal alien sex offenders. Ernst emphasized the urgency of the matter: “These violent criminals never would have entered America in the first place if we had real border security. Since Border Czar Kamala Harris won’t protect this country, then I will. We need to identify, stop, and deport them.”
The national docket also includes over 64,000 convicted assaults, roughly 2,200 commercialized sexual offenses, and nearly 16,000 cases of fraudulent activity. Despite these staggering figures, more than 150 House Democrats recently voted against the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, a bill that sought to make noncitizens convicted of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual offenses deportable. While 51 Democrats broke ranks to vote in favor of the bill, the majority of woke-infested liberals stood against it, sparking outrage among Republicans and concerned citizens alike. “They are choosing their radical pro-immigration agenda over the safety of American women and children,” Ernst said.
Representative Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) expressed his frustration in a statement after receiving the ICE data in response to his request. “As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket — 13,099 criminally convicted MURDERERS! Americans deserve to be SAFE in our communities,” Gonzales emphasized.
ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner also pointed out that “sanctuary city” policies continue to undermine enforcement efforts. From October 2020 through July 2024, ICE issued 24,796 detainer requests, but over 23,000 of them were declined by local law enforcement agencies. “Sanctuary policies can end up shielding dangerous criminals, who often victimize the very communities these jurisdictions claim to protect,” Lechleitner wrote. This lack of cooperation has left many dangerous individuals roaming free in U.S. cities, where they pose a continued threat to public safety.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) didn’t mince words about who is to blame. “Under President Biden and his ‘border czar,’ Vice President Harris, DHS law enforcement has been directed to mass-release illegal aliens whom they know have criminal convictions or are facing charges for serious crimes. How many more Americans need to die or be victimized before this administration is forced to abide by the laws they swore to uphold?” Green asked.
The public’s growing frustration with crooked Joe’s soft stance on immigration is reflected in polling data. Americans, according to the Marist Poll, are increasingly concerned about the unchecked influx of migrants, particularly those with violent criminal histories. With more than 662,000 criminal noncitizens currently within U.S. borders, and over 7 million more migrants on ICE’s non-detained docket, public pressure is mounting on lawmakers to act decisively.
“These numbers are staggering and should alarm every American,” Ernst concluded. “We need action now before more lives are put at risk.”
