The Obiden Regime has drawn a Societal Suicidal Red Line when it comes to open borders.
This from frontpagemag.com.
In the border negotiations with Congress, The Regime refused to abandon the policy of freeing illegal alien invaders on their own recognizance to stay in America until their court dates arrive in the 2030s.
That sort of insanity has consequences that reaches all the way to Congress.
A man who was arrested last week for carrying a machete and a knife outside the U.S. Capitol is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela that federal border authorities previously released from custody.
Jose Leonardo Marquez, 23, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police on the afternoon of December 26 after illegally entering the U.S.
According to a press release from the USCP, an officer observed Marquez’s “strange behavior” and approached him.
The officer spoke with Marquez and noticed a brick in his pocket, which the man tossed to the side at the officer’s request, the agency said.
After Marquez complied, he also removed a knife and placed it on a ledge at the Capitol building.
Authorities said that the observant officer also noticed a handle under the man’s clothing. After calling for backup, the office drew his gun and ordered Marquez to put his hands up.
Authorities found a machete and immediately arrested him.
Q: What was Jose doing near the Capitol?
A: He was invited and encouraged to be there by Sen. Chuck Schumer et al.
ICE said that border patrol released him from custody ‘due to a lack of detention capacity,’ enrolling him in the tracking program known as ‘Alternatives to Detention.’
How quaint!
Obviously, ‘Alternatives to Detonation’ end up being Big Game hunting with mass-homicidal intentions in our major cities and Congress.
And to compound this bad news, the Left declines to factor in: Venezuela is a narco-socialist terror state run by a Leftist drug cartel whose leaders, prior to The Regime’s assumption of mal-control, were on wanted posters for helping smuggle drugs to America. Further: Venezuela is tied up with Iran and other global bad actors.
So, maybe the smart money would bet that releasing illegal invaders and enabling them to get machetes and do whatever they choose to do with them is not a winning proposition.
But, again, The Regime’s long-term goal is to lose, to bring America to its knees.
