The Justice Department finally took action Monday against the criminal consequences of Joe Biden's disastrous border policies, charging 31 additional individuals in a nationwide ATM fraud scheme that funneled millions of dollars to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua – a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.
This is exactly what happens when you throw open the borders and roll out the red carpet for criminals, folks. While Biden spent four years lecturing Americans about "compassion," dangerous foreign gangs were literally stealing millions from our financial institutions.
Federal prosecutors revealed that many of the newly charged defendants are affiliated with Tren de Aragua, the same brutal Venezuelan gang that has been terrorizing American communities from New York to Colorado. These aren't "asylum seekers" – they're organized criminals who exploited our broken immigration system to fund terrorism.
The True Cost of Open Borders
The sophisticated "jackpotting" scheme targeted ATMs across the nation, forcing machines to dispense cash while the criminals recorded the thefts. But here's what the mainstream media won't tell you: this operation couldn't have succeeded without the Biden administration's deliberate destruction of border security.
President Trump warned us about this exact scenario. He told Americans that open borders meant importing crime, drugs, and terrorism – and he was absolutely right. Now we're seeing the receipts, literally millions of dollars stolen by foreign criminals who never should have been here in the first place.
Think about this for a moment – while hardworking Americans struggle with inflation and economic uncertainty, foreign terrorists were gaming our systems and stealing cash by the millions. Where was the FBI? Where was Homeland Security? Too busy targeting parents at school board meetings, apparently.
Fortunately, President Trump is back in office with a mandate to secure our borders and deport criminal aliens. This ATM scheme is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the damage caused by four years of Biden's "America Last" policies.
How many more criminal enterprises are operating on American soil thanks to the previous administration's reckless border policies? And when will we finally hold the architects of this disaster accountable?
