The savage attack on an 83-year-old military veteran in New York City's subway system has exposed the deadly consequences of the previous administration's open-border insanity and sanctuary city madness that continues to plague American communities.
Bairon Posada-Hernandez, the illegal alien accused of shoving the elderly veteran onto subway tracks in a shocking act of violence, had been deported from the United States four times and racked up 15 prior criminal charges, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday.
Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis didn't mince words, calling Posada-Hernandez a "heinous" and "serial criminal" whose very presence in our country represents a complete failure of the immigration system that President Trump is now working to repair.
Sanctuary Cities Enable Violent Predators
Despite ICE's request that New York authorities hold this dangerous criminal, the city's sanctuary policies—a toxic legacy of progressive governance—have historically prioritized protecting illegal aliens over American citizens and our brave veterans.
This 83-year-old hero, who served our nation with honor, became the victim of a system that values virtue signaling over public safety. How many more Americans must suffer while liberal politicians play politics with our borders?
"This is exactly why President Trump's mass deportation agenda is so critical—we cannot allow violent criminals to treat our border like a revolving door while they prey on innocent Americans."
The attack underscores the urgent need for President Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement policies. While the previous administration rolled out red carpets for illegal border crossers, the Trump-Vance administration is restoring sanity to our immigration system.
Every American should be asking: How does a foreign criminal get deported four times yet still find himself free to terrorize our citizens? The answer lies in the catastrophic border policies inherited from the Biden regime and the sanctuary city madness that treats criminal aliens like protected species.
Our veterans fought for this country—they deserve better than being pushed around by foreign criminals who shouldn't be here in the first place. When will liberal politicians finally put Americans first?
