Nobody in the GOP Senate or the White House is taking notice of what might be the worst and most heinous criminal alien crime committed in American history. We must discuss closing the multiple criminal alien loopholes that violate laws duly passed Congress.

At least 19 Texans were allegedly killed by someone who should never have been in the country, who had been in jail for other crimes and should have been deported. What if I told you that if we merely enforced and tightened existing laws, unvetted foreign nationals like this would never be able to commit subsequent crimes? “Do something!!,” you would say, right?

Well, not a single major elected official is even talking about this case, much less calling for emergency congressional action to deal with the loopholes. And unlike with El Paso, this crime was actually 100 percent avoidable through public policy, and the course of action would not implicate a fundamental right. After all, there is no right to immigrate, as there is a right for Americans to bear arms.

This man should never have been here  

Billy Chemirmir, like many people who gamed out our immigration system, came to the United States on a tourist visa in 2003, only to indefinitely overstay his visa, according to Breitbart.com’s John Binder. That should have rendered him an illegal alien, and had our government fulfilled its promise in 1996 to construct a visa tracking exit-entry system, as later recommended by the 9/11 Commission, he would have been out of the country. Not only was he not deported, he wound up using a loophole to get a green card in 2007 by marrying an American citizen, according to Binder’s sources. He then racked up a significant criminal history, including two DWIs in 2011 and an assault on a girlfriend resulting in bodily injury in 2012.

Yet this criminal from another country, whose presence here was originally illegal and who should have been deported, continued to remain in the country.

That brings us to the present. Chemirmir is now charged with the murder of 12 senior citizens whom he is alleged to have killed by smothering them with pillows over the course of three years – 2016-2018 – long after he should have been deported.

Thanks to his attempted murder of others who survived to tell the horror tale, Chemirmir was finally arrested on March 20, 2018, and charged with the murder of 81-year-old Lu Thi Harris that day. According to a timeline of events by the Dallas Morning News, the day before that arrest, Chemirmir allegedly smothered a 91-year-old Plano resident, but she survived and was able to help identify the suspect. However, it wasn’t until this May that police brought forward the murders of other seniors, now possibly totaling 19. He was charged with the murder of another 11 in May for smothering his victims with a pillow and has recently been linked to the murders in seven other civil lawsuits of plaintiffs against the Tradition-Prestonwood senior living facility.

The alleged murders took place between May 2016 and March 2018 in Dallas and Collin Counties. He is accused of pretending to be a maintenance worker and gaining entry into several nursing home facilities as well as private homes in retirement communities, with the intent of murdering the helpless victims and stealing jewelry. Nine of the victims are alleged to have been residents of Tradition-Prestonwood.

Chemirmir is currently being held in the Dallas County jail on $11.6 million bond while authorities investigate 750 other deaths in the area to see if the same M.O. was present in any other cases where there is suspicion about the cause of death. Some of the bodies of those previously thought to have died of natural causes had to be exhumed during the investigation.

ICE initially placed a detainer on him when he was arrested in March 2018. But it was too little, too late. Thanks to the endless lack of enforcement of our foundational sovereignty laws, this man was allowed to remain in the country after multiple opportunities to remove him.

Why was this man able to remain in the country without raising questions?

“Obviously Chemirmir should never have received a visitor visa to begin with, and he was able to take advantage of the near complete lack of enforcement and near complete lack of deterrents to overstaying,” said Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies, who used to vet visa applicants as a foreign service officer with the State Department. “It's not clear how he was able to secure employment for the four years that he was in the country illegally, and this should be investigated.”

While the main focus of local media is on malfeasance at the senior facilities, this is a much bigger national public policy issue, according to Vaughan. “Not only should authorities investigate suspicious deaths where he worked, but ICE should be looking at all of his employers and subject them to audits to see if they have knowingly engaged in illegal hiring or at least be required to clean up their hiring so as to avoid hiring illegal workers in the future.”

We are collectively wringing our hands as a nation trying to figure out how to prevent very tough cases of first-time mass shooters. But why is there no soul-searching about an alleged mass murderer, a criminal alien, on the multiple levels of breakdown in law enforcement? Where are the hearings, DHS investigations, and media inquiries into why he was given a green card, why he was given work before the green card, why he wasn’t on anyone’s radar after he committed more crimes, and whether Dallas’s lax immigration enforcement policies had anything to do with it?

Among the many foundational immigration laws that have been gutted by lawless executive action is section 212(a)(9)(b) of the INA, which bars anyone who “has been unlawfully present in the United States for one year or more” from returning to the country for 10 years. Rather than being offered a spousal visa in 2007, Chemirmir should have been removed and barred from entry for 10 years because he was in the country illegally for four years. Yet the executive branch has erroneously exempted visa overstays (as opposed to border-crossers) from the bar, even thought the law is clear that it applies to them: “An alien is deemed to be unlawfully present in the United States if the alien is present in the United States after the expiration of the period of stay authorized by the Attorney General or is present in the United States without being admitted or paroled.” There is discretionary waiver authority for “hardship,” but it has been abused by past administrations.

Why isn’t the Trump administration calling on DHS to change the regulation to comport with the 1996 law, which passed the Senate unanimously and was designed to completely end illegal immigration as we know it?

Another child was allegedly sexually assaulted multiple times by a Central American illegal alien who should have been deported, had our laws been properly implemented.

Yesterday, Customs and Border Protection announced that the U.S. Marshals’ Fugitive Task Force, working with a local Border Patrol agent, arrested an illegal alien from El Salvador in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on three counts of first-degree rape against a child between 2014 and 2016.

While every illegal alien crime, by definition, is avoidable if we had the proper border and interior enforcement in place, this case has an extra wrinkle to it. Andres Fuentes-Castro, 44, according to CBP, was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol-New Orleans Sector agents in 2007 during a traffic stop in Baton Rouge. He would have been deported and this alleged sexual assault would never have occurred, but Border Patrol found he was given Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as a Salvadoran national under the El Salvador TPS program. His status later expired in 2010 and was not renewed, rendering him a fugitive alien for nine years for not departing the country.

If our laws were functioning the way Congress designed them, Fuentes-Castro would have been deported in 2007. TPS was not designed to be an amnesty program for illegal aliens; it was designed as a sixth-month temporary stay for those who are here legally but can’t return home because of an intervening natural disaster.

El Salvador was granted that status in 2001 because of an earthquake. That status, pursuant to law, should have been terminated within six months or at most after 18 months of extensions under “extraordinary circumstances” (clearly lacking here). It should have applied only to very few people who happened to be in the country traveling during the earthquake. But instead, it was handed out to over 200,000 Salvadorans, far more than any other TPS-designated country, and is still being used 18 years later!

Another mother has been permanently separated from her two children by the grave, allegedly murdered by a previously known illegal alien.

Three more people are dead in Des Moines, Iowa, allegedly killed by an illegal alien who was able to remain in the country despite several encounters with police. Criminal illegal aliens are supposed to be immediately removed so they are not able to commit more crimes in this country.

According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Marvin Oswaldo Escobar-Orellana, 31, who has been charged with the murder of a mother and two children Tuesday night in downtown Des Moines, is an illegal alien from Guatemala who had been previously deported twice. “Escobar-Orellana, aka, Marvin O. Esquivel-Lopez, was previously removed (deported) from the United States in 2010 and again in 2011,” said ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer in a statement. “He has a prior federal conviction for illegal entry into the United States in 2010.”

While he is currently not in ICE custody, which prevents ICE from offering more information on his criminal history, ICE did confirm that an immigration detainer was filed by the agency on July 16 with the Polk County Jail. That would allow ICE to apprehend him so he can’t flee if he were to post bond with the local jail, which was set at $3 million.

It is not too much to ask that any illegal alien caught driving drunk be deported.

Those driving around drunk with thousands of pounds of steel, whether American or foreign national, pose a serious public safety threat. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 10,874 people were killed in 2017 in drunk driving crashes. Very few drunk drivers, including repeat offenders in many states, receive a meaningful punishment and are deterred. But when the offenders are foreign nationals, given that drunk driving is a frequently repeated offense, every subsequent offense, which could potentially kill other motorists and pedestrians, is 100 percent avoidable. Why should they remain in the country? But that is exactly what happens, thanks to sanctuary cities.

Which brings us to the case of Betsaida Sunem Moreno-Manriquez. The NBC affiliate in Portland, Oregon, wrote a puff piece on her as a “Cornelius mom” being deported by the big bad ICE guys, even though she was brought here when she was one year old. However, she is also a repeat-offender drunk driver.

According to a regional spokeswoman for ICE, Betsaida Sunem Moreno-Manriquez, a Mexican national who is here illegally, “pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of intoxicants” on August 20, 2015. So why is she still in the country?

“On April 6, 2016, Moreno-Manriquez reported to the Portland U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office where she was arrested and transported to the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) in Tacoma, Washington. On May 5, 2016, Moreno-Manriquez posted bond and was released from custody. On April 13, 2017, she failed to appear for her scheduled immigration court appearance and was ordered remov[ed] in absentia by an immigration judge.”

All too often, criminal aliens are allowed to remain in the country because they fail to appear for court dates and are released on bond. But it gets worse.

According to ICE, “On Aug. 4, 2018, Moreno-Manriquez was arrested by the Forest Grove Police Department on various local charges. Following that arrest, Moreno-Manriquez failed to appear at her scheduled court appearance for those charges and a warrant was issued for her arrest.” According to Washington County, Oregon, court records, Moreno-Manriquez was charged with giving false information to police and driving without a license. The bench warrant for her arrest was issued August 16, 2018.

Every day this woman remains in the country, she is a ticking time bomb. Yet because she is protected by Oregon’s sanctuary policies, ICE had to go find her on its own. According to the ICE spokeswoman, “On July 9, 2019, Morena-Manriquez was arrested by ICE in Hillsboro, Oregon, and is currently being held at the NWDC pending her removal to Mexico.”

The local NBC article quotes open-borders activists talking about second chances for DUIs and downplaying the severity of the crime. They make constant reference to separation of families, which has become the new political human shield against enforcing the laws against illegal aliens, even those who pose a danger to the country. Now they are trying to shame ICE into cancelling the deportation.

Pueblo Unido raises money and pays to send attorneys to Tacoma for consultation appointments with detainees facing deportation on a regular basis.

“How many people do you know who had a DUI who got a chance to get diversion and move on with their lives? And then how many were permanently separated from their families?” Pueblo Unido Executive Director and Founder Cameron Coval asked. “She's right now fighting for her freedom and the opportunity to stay in this country with her children.”

But what about the Americans who are permanently separated from their children in the grave due to the daily DUI manslaughters by illegal aliens driving drunk? Just in one year of apprehensions with very limited resources, ICE arrested a pool of aliens who together racked up 80,730 DUIs, not including over 76,000 other driving offenses.

These stories go untold every day, as was the story of one mother, Aileen Smith, who related on my podcast last year her tragedy of losing her unborn child in an illegal alien drunk driving wreck. The illegal alien driver was arrested eight times for DUI and was never turned over to ICE, thanks to sanctuary policies in New Mexico. Aileen related how, unlike criminal aliens who get endless pro bono legal help and PR from open border groups, she was left with nothing and nobody to help her.

In June, Volodymyr Zhukovskyy, a criminal alien with a history of drug and driving violations who was allowed to remain in the country, went on to kill seven bikers in New Hampshire with his truck.

When the media shows you harrowing images of moms being arrested and “separated from their kids,” what they don’t show you is their decision to drive drunk and risk the lives of Americans. We have the ability to remove them before they can continue their frequently uncontrolled habit.

This case in Oregon is a perfect example of what ICE is up against. There are people who have been given due process over and over again, yet they chose to further break the law and not show up in court. Then when ICE decides to deport them, opponents act as if these people are angels and just committed low-level offenses. But the reality is that while we can’t choose our natural-born citizens and are stuck with what we get, we can choose our immigrants. And there are many wonderful immigrants who will never get arrested or drive drunk. Why do we need any criminal aliens in our country?

A sane GOP Senate would stay in session through the August recess and pass bills like the old Scott Gardner Act (H.R. 3808), sponsored by former Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., which would mandate that ICE apprehend all illegal aliens arrested for drunk driving.
