Feds Breaking Immigration Laws Betrays American Cops and Their Communities

It’s helpful to revisit federal border policies to keep up with how they can negatively impact communities, and especially law enforcement officers at all levels around the nation. Illegal immigrants sneaking into the United States have been with us ever since our country found it necessary to control immigration.

I recall the “Muriel Boatlift” in 1980, when Cuban dictator Fidel Castro took advantage of a mutually-agreed upon mass exodus to the U.S. of Cuban refugees fleeing bona fide communist oppression.

Castro also emptied his prisons and mental health hospitals to send Cuba’s worst people, hidden among the mostly good people, to America. The actions of the released criminals, sane and mentally afflicted, have affected police officers for succeeding decades in communities all over the U.S. even in cities as far away as the west coast.

The difference then was the United States, as a nation, understood illegal immigration was…, well, illegal. They knew the difference between a genuine refugee and an illegal alien—and especially an illegal alien criminal.

Live-feeds.com recently reported from Yuma, AZ. about U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents complaining they didn’t hire on to become babysitters, wondering why the current administration discontinued the “wait in Mexico” policy, and turning their backs “on senior officials who had come to listen.” They reported Border Patrol agents in December contacted over 20 times more “migrants crossing illegally from Mexico…” than the previous December.

Today, the federal government policies not only fail to stop illegal aliens, including criminals, from crossing America’s southern border but also facilitate their dispersal into various states all across the U.S.

Imagine how insulted any law enforcement officers in the U.S. feel when, as reported by FOX News, they hear federal policy allows illegal immigrants to board American transportation, including airplanes, using an arrest warrant as identification. Allowing this frivolous use of official document cops use to arrest people is an utter slap in the face to all American cops.

If officials want to change the laws, then get Congress to do it. Breaking the law shouldn’t be an accepted option for elected officials, especially because they expect ordinary American citizens to obey the laws—at least, the ones they like.

It’s surreal for law enforcement officers, like the sergeant whose camera recorded the below-referenced video, to see the federal government breaking its own laws to facilitate dispersing illegal immigrants (at least, some of them likely violent criminals or terrorists) into America’s cities.

Recently, police body cam video, obtained through FOIA and released by New York gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino, shows what was supposed to be a clandestine drop off of illegal immigrants in upstate New York. The federal contractor told the sergeant this was supposed to be a “quiet” operation.

According to the Post Millennial, “Under cover of darkness, ‘about a hundred people, mostly teenagers, exit planes onto the tarmac at Westchester County Airport,’ Tucker Carlson reported.” The government then transported the illegal aliens from the airport by bus to—who knows where.

Westchester Police Sergeant Michael Hamborsky, whose body cam captured the footage of the illegal flight, expressed shock that he was working airport security, and no one had notified him of the flight. The sergeant asks a federal contractor, “why this was happening?” The contractor answers, “You know why. Look who’s in office. That’s why, come on.”

Sgt. Hamborsky answered, “What’s the big secret? Everybody knows it’s happening.”

The contractor replies, “Because if this gets out, the government is betraying the American people.”

FOX News reported between June and October 2021, the federal government transported about 2,000 “children” to the Westchester Airport. Astorino strongly disputes the suggestion all the people transported were “kids.” He said that was “completely a lie.”

While many, perhaps most, of these illegal aliens may not be violent criminals or terrorists, some may be. How do we know? After all, some are using arrest warrants as ID to travel. How can the federal government defend using deception to distribute illegal aliens across the country for local citizens and cops to deal with?

One aspect we cannot get away from is some of these illegal aliens (honest people can argue the numbers) become criminal problems for communities and federal, state, and local law enforcement officers.

In Boston, Howie Carr recently reported in the Boston Herald that a court has convicted an MS-13 member of two savage murders and “sent [him] away for life.” He’s an illegal alien, known for his “extreme violence” as the “Butcher of East Boston.”

The New York Post’s Miranda Devine just wrote a piece about how policies that “welcome illegal immigrants, weaken [a] police force.” Divine also wrote, “Murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members and terrorists — some previously deported — are among the 2 million illegal aliens who were apprehended crossing the wide-open southern border last year. That doesn’t count the untold number never detected.”

To illustrate the problem for local cops, Divine pointed to “an illegal Mexican migrant arrested for painting swastikas at Union Station in Washington, DC, last month, a few weeks after being arrested for allegedly vandalizing Capitol Police headquarters, and who already has a string of felony convictions on his record, was simply released onto the streets instead of being scooped up by ICE and deported.”

KHBRK News reported, “Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said it will not seek to deport [the above] illegal immigrant… who has previously been deported four times — with the agency citing the capital’s ‘sanctuary city’ policies.” This is insanity, folks. He vandalized a police department—knowing he’s in the country illegally. Let’s see a show of hands from anyone who would be surprised if he eventually hurts or kills a cop? None. That’s what I thought.

At the 38th annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service, in 2019, then-President Donald Trump used the occasion to give a touching tribute to Newman CA. police officer Corporal Ronil Singh. CNS News reported, “Singh was allegedly gunned down by an illegal immigrant… during a routine traffic stop the day after Christmas 2018.”

In October 2020, an “illegal immigrant from El Salvador” allegedly shot and killed Houston Police Sergeant Harold Preston, 41. Another three-year veteran officer was also shot during the incident. “ICE officials identified him [suspect] as a ‘convicted criminal alien who is unlawfully present in the U.S.’”

We keep hearing about these atrocities, slayings of both civilians and law enforcement officers, committed by criminals in our country illegally. The insult is increased when our own leaders are complicit because, apparently, political gain is more important than people’s lives—including police officers’ lives.

Let that sink in… winning politically is more important than protecting Americans’ lives.

What can we do? Don’t hesitate to contact your federal, state, and local political leaders to let them know how you feel about people being allowed into your country illegally. You’d be surprised at how responsive they can be, especially when they think their own elections are in jeopardy.
