Here’s just a small slice of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrest record across the Massachusetts over the last several months: In April, ICE arrested a Guatemalan illegal alien who was facing nine separate child sex crime charges. In August, ICE took into custody multiple illegal aliens from Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico and Brazil–all facing various criminal charges ranging from sexual assault to rape, child molestation, kidnapping and attempted homicide. In September, ICE apprehended another illegally present Brazilian charged with sexual assault. Then, in early November, ICE took detained a Colombian illegal alien charged with child sex crimes. And over the last few days, ICE tracked down three additional illegal aliens, from Guatemala, Colombia and Brazil, facing child rape charges.
If you follow the news, you may have found yourself wondering, “What the heck brought so many illegal alien sex offenders to Massachusetts?” The answer is simple: Governor Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and every other sanctuary politician across the Bay State. It’s a scenario that is happening in almost every other sanctuary jurisdiction throughout the country.
Congress has repeatedly floated bills to legislate an immigration amnesty and reward foreign lawbreakers with permanent residence in the United States and a path to U.S. citizenship. However, those bills have never passed because Americans want secure borders. And they understand intuitively that when you reward lawbreakers, you just get more lawless behavior.
