Socialist Venezuela, known for its rampant violent crime, has seen its murder rate fall to a historic 22-year low after most criminals moved to the United States under Joe Biden.
The South American country suffered an extreme economic and humanitarian crisis over the last ten years. However, it is now enjoying a complete evaporation of its crime wave as millions leave.
The mass exodus also saw a significant amount of violent criminals leave too, many of whom have sought “refuge” in the U.S. via Biden’s open border.
The Daily Mail reports:
Once deemed the world’s most dangerous city, Caracas has seen homicides fall by a staggering 25 percent when compared to 2023, with the Venezuelan Violence Observatory registering 26.8 violent deaths per 100,000 people, compared to a rate of 35.3 for every 100,000 habitants in 2022.
But now, as Venezuelans increasingly flood over the US-Mexico border, reports of newly-arrived migrants committing horrific crimes have left Americans shocked – including that of two men arrested in the brutal abduction, rape, and murder of a 12-year-old girl in Texas just last week.
According to InsightCrime, the dire economic situation in the country, combined with the mass population exodus, has reduced opportunities for those looking to extort, kidnap and rob back home.
‘Crime is falling in Venezuela because of the destruction of the country’s economy …because of the loss of opportunities for crime,’ OVV director Roberto Briceño-León told InSight Crime.
Since Biden took office, more than 10 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S.
Now, many of those unvetted criminals are roaming free in the United States.
We can see the effect in real-time amid reports of illegals raping, stealing, and murdering innocent Americans.
Meanwhile, there is also evidence that the Venezuelan criminal gang Tren De Aragua has now expanded its operations across the country.
Perhaps the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley is the most symbolic incident of how unchecked illegal immigration is hurting the U.S.
Riley was killed while out jogging by a 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien, José Antonio Ibarra.
Antonio Ibarra had previously been let free by authorities after facing charges of child abuse.
As reported earlier this month, a 12-year-old girl was raped and killed by Venezuelan migrants in North Houston, Texas, who later dumped her body into a creek.
As we highlighted in June, former Border security leaders warned President Joe Biden’s “border security” plans will facilitate more illegal immigration, with over two million migrants flooding into the U.S. a year.
“The border will never be ‘shut down’ under this executive action but rather serve to legalize an unjustified level of open borders that will further perpetuate the chaos and lawlessness we’ve experienced during the entirety of the Biden Administration,” former U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan told The Center Square.
