President Trump has certainly made waves even before officially stepping into the White House. With a proposal of a 25% tariff on Mexico, he is sending a clear message that the U.S. will no longer be a playground for illegal immigration. Recent reports highlight a significant increase in migrants entering the country under the Biden administration. This alarming rise in figures has even reached deep blue cities, with New York City preparing to shut down up to 25 migrant shelters by the end of the year.
The situation in New York City is serious, with officials suggesting that there are approximately 800,000 undocumented immigrants living in the area. Among these individuals, nearly 60,000 have criminal records, including a notable 1,000 members of the ruthless Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua. Mayor Eric Adams recently had a meeting with Tom Zollman, the incoming border czar, where he raised eyebrows by highlighting a troubling issue: the city has lost track of 500,000 sponsored children. This immense number brings up a slew of worries about their safety and wellbeing, leaving many to wonder about the realities behind these missing children.
While mainstream media outlets attempt to downplay this situation, calling it merely a “paperwork problem,” the reality seems much grimmer. Videos have recently surfaced showing young children found in precarious situations, including being discovered in the back seats of smuggler’s cars or wandering helplessly in the desert. Instances like these raise serious questions regarding the protection of vulnerable children amid our border crisis, and the media’s attempts to downplay the urgency of the situation certainly raises eyebrows.
Moreover, Tren de Aragua has expanded its reach to at least 30 cities in the United States, thanks in part to sanctuary city laws that prevent ICE agents from fully performing their duties. Local law enforcement finds themselves caught in a tricky position; they cannot even inquire about immigration status when encountering individuals suspected of criminal activities. Despite assurances from Democratic leaders to protect illegal aliens, many citizens are left grappling with a sense of insecurity and fear.
President Trump has long warned about the dangers posed by unchecked illegal immigration and it’s clear, from the heartbreaking stories of missing children and tragic violence, that these warnings are becoming increasingly relevant. Many fear that the true extent of the crisis may be far worse than currently reported. The ongoing situation begs for immediate action and oversight, as the alarming nature of the crisis continues to unfold, leaving many hopeful for a future that ensures safety and justice for all.
