Donald Trump is walking into a nightmare situation at the southern border.
The reality of the Biden border crisis is worse than anything he imagined.
And a sheriff is blowing the whistle on a border security issue that Donald Trump will absolutely hate.
Virginia sheriff warns about the devastation caused by the border crisis
Loudoun County, Virginia, a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C., is the wealthiest county in the country based on income.
The county is almost 2,000 miles away from the southern border, but it’s still feeling the effects of the border crisis that President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats created.
Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman testified at a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee about what the border crisis has done to the community he protects.
Crime has surged in recent years in his county due to illegal aliens who are often members of gangs.
“In Loudoun County, one of the safest localities in the entire U.S., we have seen an increase in unprecedented violence in recent years,” Chapman said. “Of our last five homicides, three were committed by suspects in this country illegally, two of which were by a self-proclaimed MS-13 gang member.”
The El Salvadoran gang MS-13 has set up shop throughout the Washington, D.C. area.
“Just this week, a previously affiliated MS-13 gang member opened fire on another vehicle resulting from a simple ‘road rage’ incident,” Chapman said.
Sheriff calls on Congress and sanctuary cities to take action
Chapman noted that his sheriff’s office cooperates with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but he pointed out that many communities don’t, which handcuffs law enforcement.
“Addressing these increasing threats takes an all-hands-on-deck approach, and that requires all law enforcement to work together in specific missions of our fellow agency, first and foremost, cooperation for Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” Chapman explained.
He argued that solving the problem starts with securing the southern border.
“Starting with the border, we must continue to build a wall, refuse illegal entries, enhance technology, and encourage ‘Remain in Mexico’ policies,” Chapman stated. “If an ‘All Hands-on Deck’ approach is not aggressively pursued, these problems will continue to migrate to our most populated areas, to our cities that were once beautiful which have now become unsafe.”
The Biden-Harris border crisis has caused crime from illegal aliens to spread to all 50 states.
A member of the ultraviolent Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua was arrested in North Dakota, bringing the total number of states that the gang has infiltrated to 17.
Chapman lamented the flood of criminals into the country through the southern border.
“Most notable are the millions of illegal entries to this country that include those associated with MS-3 and 18 street gangs from El Salvador, the Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua, and known terrorists,” Chapman explained. “No single issue has had more of an impact on crime throughout the United States than our open borders.”
Illegal aliens are bringing crime and drugs to communities across the country.
“The impacts are stark. From years in which over 100,000 citizens lost their lives each year due to fentanyl poisonings, to the increase in human trafficking, to unconscionable murders, to deadly threats against law enforcement, to major retail theft operations,” Chapman said. “The scope of crime and violence related to undocumented criminal aliens cannot be overstated.”
President-elect Donald Trump is coming into office to clean up a massive crime problem created by open borders.
