The chickens have come home to roost in Portland, Oregon, where two Venezuelan gang members affiliated with the notorious Tren de Aragua criminal organization attacked a U.S. Border Patrol agent with their vehicle, forcing the agent to open fire in self-defense.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the Thursday incident represents exactly what patriots have been warning about for years - Biden's reckless open border policies didn't just invite millions of illegal aliens into our country, they rolled out the red carpet for some of South America's most dangerous criminals.
Tren de Aragua isn't your average street gang, folks. This is a transnational criminal enterprise that has terrorized Venezuela and spread like cancer across the Americas. Now they're operating freely in American cities, attacking our law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs.
Portland: The Perfect Storm of Failed Liberal Policies
Is anyone really surprised this happened in Portland? The same city that spent years coddling Antifa terrorists and defunding police is now dealing with actual foreign criminal organizations running wild in their streets. When you create a lawless environment, lawless people will fill the vacuum.
This attack on our Border Patrol agent represents a new escalation in the border crisis that the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge. These aren't "asylum seekers" or "migrants looking for a better life" - these are hardened criminals who see America as easy prey thanks to four years of Biden administration weakness.
"The revelation came late Thursday after news emerged of a shooting involving U.S. immigration officials in Portland, Oregon," according to initial reports that conveniently downplayed the gang connections.
Thank God President Trump is back in the White House with a mandate to secure our borders and remove these criminal aliens from our communities. Secretary Kristi Noem at DHS has her work cut out for her, but at least we finally have leadership that puts American safety first.
How many more of our law enforcement officers will be attacked before every American realizes that mass deportation isn't just good policy - it's a matter of national survival?
