Listen up, patriots! We’ve uncovered a horrifying truth that urgently demands our attention. A five-time deported child predator walked free on New York City streets, proving our worst fears about America’s broken immigration system. This is not a problem we can afford to ignore any longer.

We’re facing an unprecedented public safety threat in our backyard. Raymond Rojas Basilio, a criminal who repeatedly violated our borders, was arrested for molesting a child under 11 – yet sanctuary policies allowed him to slip through the cracks. This isn’t just one isolated incident – it’s a direct result of policies that put American safety last and criminal aliens first. Our children deserve better than this deliberate betrayal of public trust, and we’re about to expose precisely how deep this crisis goes.

The Criminal:

Raymond Rojas Basilio

Let me paint a picture of the shocking criminal history of Raymond Rojas Basilio, a Mexican national who’s made a complete mockery of our immigration system. This isn’t just another border jumper – we’re dealing with a determined criminal who’s shown complete disregard for our laws and the safety of our children.

Let’s delve into this criminal’s pattern of brazen border violations. In May 2002, this individual attempted to breach our southern border near Douglas, Arizona, not once, not twice, but three separate times in just four days. Each time, our Border Patrol caught him, but he persisted!

But here’s where it gets even more outrageous. In January 2012, Rojas Basilio tried to game our system with fraudulent documents. Here’s what this criminal attempted:

Presented a fake Arizona Driver’s License and counterfeit U.S. Birth Certificate at the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry18
Just five days later, they tried the same fraudulent document scheme at the Morley Gate Port of Entry18

These weren’t just simple paperwork violations, patriots. Under federal law, using fraudulent documents is a serious felony offense undermining our immigration system19. Each attempt shows a calculated effort to circumvent our nation’s sovereignty and mock our laws.

But the most disturbing part? After all these deportations, Rojas Basilio somehow managed to slip back into our country on an unknown date18. Think about that – five separate removals, and he still found his way back to prey on our communities20. This happens when we don’t secure our borders and enforce our laws!

The audacity of this criminal alien reached its peak in New York City, where sanctuary policies provided the perfect environment for his crimes. After being arrested in August 2023 for sexually abusing a child under 11 years old, he received an outrageously lenient 60-day sentence. This is a clear example of how liberal policies prioritize criminals over our children’s safety!

We’re witnessing a complete breakdown of our immigration enforcement system. These aren’t just statistics – we’re talking about real threats to our communities. When ICE officials finally caught up with this repeat offender, they even acknowledged his ‘absolutely no regard for our nation’s laws. ‘This case is a stark reminder of the repeated failures of our system, and it’s time for us to demand change.

This isn’t just about one criminal – it’s about a system failing to protect us. Every fraudulent document, every illegal reentry, every day this predator walked free on our streets represents a direct threat to our national security and the safety of our children.

The Crime:

A Child’s Innocence Destroyed

Now, I must share something that shakes me to my core about this sanctuary city nightmare. The crime committed against an innocent child under 11 years old in Queens represents everything wrong with our broken system21. This isn’t just another crime statistic – this is about an innocent life forever changed by the failures of our sanctuary policies.

Let me put this in perspective. While Rojas Basilio got a mere 60-day sentence for molesting a child21, look at how other jurisdictions handle similar crimes:

In California, a child predator received 1,503 years for comparable crimes22
In Texas, prosecutors demanded 20-40 years for a teacher who abused a student23
In other cases, judges typically impose sentences of 12 years or more24

The outrage doesn’t stop there. We’re seeing a disturbing pattern where sanctuary jurisdictions are giving outrageously light sentences to child predators. In Baltimore County, illegal immigrants charged with child sex crimes are getting mere probation sentences24. One offender got a 25-year sentence reduced to just 18 months24. This is what happens when liberal policies prioritize protecting criminals over our children!

I’m particularly disgusted by how this case exposes the complete failure of our justice system. As the Harris County Prosecutor correctly stated, “There are certain types of cases that really should only warrant punishment, and that is this kind of case “23. Yet here we are, watching a child predator walk free after just 60 days!

The damage done to this innocent child is irreparable21. As ICE officials rightfully pointed out, “it only takes one successful unlawful entry to do irreparable harm to a member of our community “21. This isn’t just about one case – it’s about a system abandoning its duty to protect our most vulnerable.

The prosecutors, the real heroes fighting for justice, demanded serious prison time in this case. But thanks to sanctuary city policies, another dangerous predator was released back onto our streets. As Councilman Robert Holden correctly stated, “Monsters like this are precisely why sanctuary policies need to end “21.

Every day this predator walked free was another day our children were at risk. This isn’t just a failure of justice – it’s a betrayal of everything we stand for as Americans. When judges hand down these absurdly lenient sentences, they’re not just failing one victim – they’re failing every child in our communities.

Sanctuary City Policies:

A Threat to Our Children

Here’s what makes my blood boil about these sanctuary city policies – they’re literally tying the hands of our law enforcement heroes! When local authorities refuse to cooperate with ICE, they’re forcing our immigration officers to conduct dangerous at-large arrests in our neighborhoods25 [30]. Think about that – instead of safely transferring criminals in controlled environments, ICE has to track them down in our communities, putting everyone at risk.

Let me break down exactly how these sanctuary policies are endangering our children:

Local authorities can’t notify ICE when releasing dangerous criminals26
Cities reject ICE detainer requests, even for violent offenders26
Law enforcement is blocked from checking immigration status27
Criminals are released back onto our streets without ICE notification25

The most infuriating part? ICE officials have been begging these sanctuary cities to cooperate for years. As ICE Director Lechleitner puts it, “Certain states and jurisdictions just have been really reticent about dealing with us “28 [31]. And what’s the result? We’re seeing people being released and reoffending28.

Now, some defenders of these dangerous policies claim they make communities safer. They’ll tell you sanctuary cities have lower crime rates26. But let me tell you what’s really happening – these policies are creating perfect hiding spots for criminal aliens. When local law enforcement can’t coordinate with ICE, we’re basically giving predators like Rojas Basilio a free pass to victimize our children!

The evidence is clear – jurisdictions across America are finally waking up to this threat. Even traditionally liberal areas are starting to realize the devastating consequences of these policies. In Montgomery County, Maryland, they had to change their stance after public pressure mounted28. Why? Because they finally admitted that they “don’t want a situation where we release someone, and they go on to commit even more serious or heinous crime “28 [31].

This isn’t just about one case – it’s about a systematic breakdown in public safety. When ICE is forced to conduct more street operations, they’re likely to encounter other unlawful aliens who wouldn’t have been found if they could’ve just taken custody at the jail25. It’s creating a snowball effect of danger in our communities.

Patriots, we’re watching a deliberate dismantling of our public safety infrastructure. These sanctuary policies aren’t just failing – they’re actively protecting criminals at the expense of our children’s safety. Every time a criminal alien is released without ICE notification, it’s another ticking time bomb in our neighborhoods.

ICE to the Rescue:

Despite Obstacles

Tell you about the true heroes fighting against these dangerous sanctuary policies. Our ICE agents are working tirelessly, facing unprecedented obstacles to keep our communities safe. Despite the sanctuary city madness, they’re still getting the job done.

Here’s what these brave ICE officers are up against: When local jurisdictions refuse to cooperate, it forces our agents to conduct dangerous at-large arrest operations25. Each target requires between 40 to 80 hours of surveillance before arrest2. That’s right, patriots – your tax dollars are being wasted because sanctuary cities won’t simply hand over criminals in a controlled jail environment!

The dedication of our ICE officers is nothing short of remarkable. Let me share what they’re achieving despite these challenges:

Successfully conducted targeted operations across sanctuary jurisdictions1
Arrested dozens of immigration violators in the NYC Metro area alone
Apprehended multiple gang members and foreign fugitives1
Captured criminals with active removal orders1

But here’s what makes my blood boil – these sanctuary policies are forcing ICE to waste precious resources. When criminals are released onto our streets instead of being turned over to ICE, our agents have to spend countless hours tracking them down25. Many of these targets are seasoned criminals who know how to evade law enforcement 25.

The obstacles these sanctuary policies create are absolutely outrageous. ICE’s resources are already stretched thin2, yet they’re forced to conduct more street operations, putting our officers and communities at greater risk25. Every time they have to track down someone like Rojas Basilio, they’re likely to encounter other illegal aliens who wouldn’t have been found if local jails had just cooperated25.

But let me be crystal clear – despite these challenges, ICE remains unwavering in its commitment to protect our nation25. They’re conducting targeted enforcement actions every single day across America25. While sanctuary politicians play their dangerous games, ICE officers are out there doing the hard work of keeping predators off our streets.

What these sanctuary cities don’t understand is that their policies are actually increasing ICE enforcement in their communities25. When they refuse to cooperate, ICE has no choice but to conduct more operations in their neighborhoods. That’s right – their “sanctuary” status brings more ICE presence, not less!

The solution is simple: straightforward cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE25. Instead, we’re watching our brave ICE agents fight an uphill battle against politicians who seem more interested in protecting criminals than keeping our children safe.

The National Security Crisis

Fellow Americans, what I’m about to reveal will shake you. The Rojas Basilio case isn’t just an isolated incident – it’s the tip of an iceberg in a massive national security crisis threatening every American community.

Let me share some shocking numbers that expose the accurate scale of this invasion. Since Biden took office, we’ve had over 10.3 million encounters nationwide and more than 8.3 million at the Southwest border. But here’s what should terrify you- nearly 2 million known getaways have completely evaded our Border Patrol4. That’s 2 million potential threats walking freely in our communities!

The criminal invasion doesn’t stop there. Our border agents have apprehended 388 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist between ports of entry3. Think about that – these are just the ones we caught! How many more terrorist threats slipped through with those 2 million getaways?

The Department of Justice’s own data proves what we’ve been saying all along – 64% of federal arrests involved noncitizens29, despite them being only 7% of our population! This isn’t just about statistics – it’s about American lives being put at risk by failed policies.

Here’s what makes this crisis even more alarming:

71.1% of immigration cases involved illegal reentry5
98.5% of these criminals were sentenced to prison5
The average sentence was just 12 months – a mere slap on the wrist!
97.5% of those convicted for illegal reentry were men

The Rojas Basilio case perfectly illustrates this systemic breakdown. Like thousands of others, he exploited our weak borders and sanctuary policies to prey on our communities. In 2023 alone, Border Patrol agents encountered thousands of illegal aliens with prior criminal convictions, including assault, rape, and murder29 [32].

What’s truly infuriating is that sanctuary cities are actively helping these criminals evade justice. When local authorities refuse to cooperate with ICE, they’re creating safe havens for predators [30]. The proof? Look at the surge in criminal activity – Border Patrol encounters have skyrocketed to over 275,000 illegal aliens crossing our borders nationwide in just one month29 [33]!

This isn’t just about immigration – it’s about national security, public safety, and protecting our children. Every time a sanctuary city releases a criminal alien, every time a gotaway slips past our border, we’re rolling the dice with American lives. The Rojas Basilio case isn’t an anomaly – it’s a warning of what happens when we put political correctness above public safety.

The Need for Change:

Legal and Policy Recommendations

The time for half-measures is over, patriots! The shocking statistics I will share prove we need immediate action to fix our broken system. Immigration violations now make up over half (52%) of all federal criminal prosecutions6, yet the crisis only deepens.

Let me show you the actual cost of our current weak policies:

Taxpayers have spent $7 billion on incarcerating immigration offenders over just one decade6
Immigration prosecutions hit a record 106,312 cases in a single year
Two-thirds of non-citizen federal offenders were sentenced for immigration-related offenses7
A staggering 91% of these cases involved simply entering or remaining in our country illegally7

These numbers aren’t just statistics – they’re a screaming alarm about our failed policies. While sanctuary cities tie the hands of our law enforcement, precious resources that could be fighting serious crimes like drug smuggling and human trafficking are being wasted6.

The most infuriating part? These sanctuary policies are creating a revolving door for criminals. When local authorities refuse to cooperate with ICE, they’re forcing our brave agents to waste 40 to 80 hours of surveillance for each target8 [30]. That’s valuable time and resources that could be spent protecting our communities!

We need immediate reforms to stop this madness. First, we must strengthen our laws against illegal reentry. The current system, where criminals like Rojas Basilio can re-enter our country five times, is an absolute disgrace. We need mandatory minimum sentences that actually deter these repeat offenders.

I’m calling for a complete overhaul of sanctuary policies that put politics above public safety. States like Texas are leading the way with laws like S.B. 4, which prohibit local sanctuary policies and impose severe punishments on cities and officials who support them8. This is precisely what we need nationwide!

The solution is crystal clear: we must hold local leaders accountable when they choose to protect criminal aliens over American citizens. These bureaucrats who refuse to comply with federal immigration laws need to face real consequences. It’s time to stop punishing our law enforcement and start punishing the politicians who enable these threats.

We’re seeing the devastating impact of these failed policies every day. When prosecutors have to offer plea deals that let criminals waive their right to challenge convictions6, something is deeply wrong with our system. These “streamlined” processes are a fast track for putting our communities at risk.

The evidence is overwhelming – sanctuary policies are creating safe havens for criminals while hampering law enforcement efforts. We need immediate action on three fronts:

Mandatory cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities
Enhanced penalties for repeat immigration offenders
Federal funding cuts for jurisdictions that maintain sanctuary policies

Patriots, the time for action is now. We can’t wait for another child to become a victim before we fix this broken system. The solution isn’t complicated – it’s about putting American safety first and ending these dangerous sanctuary city policies once and for all.
