Despite the largely successful efforts of the Trump administration to stop the bleeding and close the southern border to illegal aliens, there are still huge numbers of criminal illegal aliens already inside the United States, and they\u2019ve kept Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents busy.<\/p>\n

According to recent reporting from <\/a>The Texan<\/a>, ICE Houston says they\u2019ve arrested over 700 illegal aliens in just the month of May, most of whom reportedly have extensive criminal backgrounds. The 735 illegal aliens arrested in May together have a grand total of 1,711 criminal convictions.<\/p>\n

Chris Russo with Texans for Strong Borders<\/a> says even if they don\u2019t have criminal convictions we know about and can verify, most of these aliens are still a public safety risk. \u201cNicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela\u2014do we think that they\u2019re policing these countries effectively? Or is it possible that these people have committed violent crimes even if they haven\u2019t been charged in their home countries?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

Russo went on to say that these numbers show there\u2019s still plenty of work for immigration authorities to do. According to him: \u201cWe had over 10 million border encounters during the Biden administration. There\u2019s a lot more work to be done, and it\u2019s probably going to be more than one administration\u2019s worth of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to point out that even the 700 arrests we saw in May averaged out to less than 30 illegal aliens arrested per day and says we may need to focus on more workplace enforcement to ensure we weed out these illegal aliens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite the largely successful efforts of the Trump administration to stop the bleeding and close the southern border…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,66,223,27],"class_list":["post-348246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-local","tag-news","tag-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
