Border Patrol agents have a new threat to worry about along with the Biden Surge of illegal aliens at the border with Mexico.
Agents in the Yuma Sector of the border collared seven Iranians last week. The Iranians might be run-of-the-mill illegal aliens who crossed the border with the growing numbers of Mexicans and Central Americans.
Or they might be terrorists.
Iranians, of course, aren’t the only illegals who travel to Latin America in the hope of sneaking into the country. Agents routinely catch Africans, Chinese, and others.
That aside, border agents nabbed the usual mix of sex fiends through the last two weeks. All are child molesters. They also raided a stash house packed with more than two dozen illegals.
Meanwhile, immigration authorities will no longer warn illegals they can be deported because such an admonition might hurt their feelings.
The Iranians
Agents nabbed the 11 Iranians — six men and five women — at about 6 p.m. on February 1 near San Luis, Arizona, Customs and Border Protection reported.
The agency did not identify the Iranians, but said that Yuma sector appears to be a targeted area:
For the last two fiscal years, Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents have led the nation in apprehending illegal crossers from Iran. Yuma Sector agents apprehended eight Iranian nationals in FY2020, compared to just 14 from all other border patrol sectors combined. So far in FY2021, Yuma Sector agents have apprehend 14 nationals from Iran.
A major concern for U.S. border security is that Iran is a “special interest country;” i.e., known to harbor terrorists or sponsor terror. Iran is one of four countries the State Department lists as a state sponsor of terror, along with Cuba, Syria, and North Korea.
Agents routinely catch foreign nationals from across the globe. Nations contributing to the illegal-alien tsunami include China, Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. That last raised fears of an Ebola outbreak.
Sex Perverts, Stash House
Another subset of illegals who will continue crossing the border, sure in the knowledge the Biden Regime will not deport them, are rapists and child molesters.
On February 3, about three miles west of the Calexio, California, Port of Entry, CBP reported, agents collared a Mexican sex fiend. The previously deported 50-year-old was convicted in Ohio on June 25, 2008 and spent 12 months in prison for unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
On February 2, Yuma Sector agents arrested a previously deported Mexican child molester.
On January 31, agents bagged a 48-year-old Mexican molester in the Del Rio Border Sector, CBP reported. Gonzalo Brito-Perez sexually assaulted a child in 2009 and was deported in 2011. Like so many illegal-alien sex fiends, he won’t stay in Mexico where he belongs.
CPB offered more detail on the arrest of a child kidnapper on January 30 west of the Tecate California Port of Entry.
Agents stopped a grey Nissan Altima near the border. Inside were four illegal Mexicans and a 25-year-old driver who was a U.S. citizen.
One of the Mexicans was convicted in 2006 of aggravated kidnapping and unlawful restraint. He is a registered sex predator in Illinois and was deported in 2009.
The stash-house raid on February 28 netted 28 illegals from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, CBP reported, and was the second in two days.
Don’t Hurt Their Feelings
Biden and his subalterns are unconcerned.
In addition to the promised amnesty for 11 million illegals and 100-day moratorium on deportations, Biden has ordered agents to stop upsetting illegals with warnings they can be deported.
“The Biden administration has ordered immigration officials to stop warning illegal migrants caught trying to scam the system that they might face deportation because it causes ‘undue stress,’” the Washington Examiner reported on Sunday.
Even if agents suspect an illegal is peddling a bogus asylum claim, that illegal needn’t worry. Open-Borders Joe will protect him, the Examiner reported about an internal e-mail that included the crazy directive:
“This guidance will ensure the agency is not placing undue stress on the customer who believes he/she may or may not receive an NTA based on the information provided in their denial notification,” said the email from the agency’s Service Center Operations Directorate.
Ninety percent of asylum claims are bogus.
The latest from the regime is not surprising. Biden repeatedly told Americans that he would end deportations, open the borders, and flood the country with Third World refugees and immigrants (nearly all of whom will vote Democrat) to continue the cultural and demographic transformation of America.
