“I’m not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect. Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing.”

That was Joe Biden in a recent interview with MSNBC. One of the people he wasn’t going to disrespect was Antonio Ibarra, the Venezuelan national charged with murdering University of Georgia student Laken Riley, misnamed as “Lincoln Riley.”  Biden failed to name or condemn Ibarra, and apologized for calling him an illegal, contending that “undocumented” was the proper term. None of this should come as a surprise.

“You know, 11 million people live in the shadows. I believe they’re already American citizens,” said vice president Biden in 2014. According to Delaware Democrat, all the 11 million wanted was a chance to contribute, so “let people vote.” Biden is not going to disrespect “any any any” of those he has brought in, even the criminals, because they add to his imported electorate. The illegals are replacements for the legitimate citizens Biden hates, as he confirmed in his September 1, 2022 speech. So when criminal illegals murder Americans, the Delaware Democrat looks the other way.

In 2014, false-documented Mexican national Luis Bracamontes murdered Sacramento deputies officers Danny Oliver and Michael Davis. During his trial, Bracamontes said he wished he killed more cops, and yelled “black lives don’t matter,” at Danny Oliver’s wife, at Anthony Holmes, whom he shot five times, and at members of the jury. Vice president Biden never mentioned the case, not even to denounce “gun violence.”

In late 2018, a criminal illegal calling himself Paulo Virgen Mendoza shot dead Newman, California, police officer Ronil “Ron” Singh, a legal immigrant who came to the United States to work in law enforcement. Seven other illegals aided the killer’s flight before the fugitive murderer was apprehended. Joe Biden ignored the case. He is not going to disrespect “any any any” member of his imported electorate, even the criminals who murder innocent Americans.

The MS-13 gang has inflicted a “reign of terror” on Mendota, a small city near Fresno, California. The gang started infiltrating the area ten years ago and from 2015-2017 committed at least 14 murders. Victims included potential witnesses, hacked to death with machetes, with mangled corpses left in the open. MS-13 is also active in Los Angeles but California attorney general Xavier Becerra, now Biden’s HHS boss, was concerned about their “status.”

Federal busts of MS-13 prompted no statement from former vice president Joe Biden. For the Delaware Democrat, those who enter the country illegally are “already Americans,” so “let people vote.”

For all but the willfully blind, the standard for legal immigrants should apply to all. Nobody should be admitted to the United States without a criminal background check, health records, English skills and job prospects. The millions now streaming in did nothing to improve their own countries, so they can hardly be expected to improve ours.

When illegals commit crimes they should be deported, and that action should cancel the prospect of ever entering the United States again. Bracamontes and Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, who shot Kate Steinle in 2015, were repeat deportees. Consider the case of Juan Corona, a Mexican national deported in 1956 but allowed to enter the United States again.

In the early 1970s near Yuba City, California, Corona murdered and mutilated Charles Fleming, Melford Sample, Donald Smith, John J. Haluka, Warren Kelley, Sigurd Beierman, William Emery Kamp, Clarence Hocking, James W. Howard, Jonah R. Smallwood, Elbert T. Riley, Paul B. Allen, Edward Martin Cupp, Albert Hayes, Raymond Muchache, John H. Jackson, Lloyd Wallace Wenzel, Mark Beverly Shields, Sam Bonafide and Joseph Maczak. Four others were unidentified and not a single one was Mexican.

The mass murderer escaped the death penalty and passed away in 2019 at the age of 85, outliving Charles Manson. Legitimate citizens and legal immigrants have a right to wonder how many Juan Corona types jostle among the millions Joe Biden has allowed to enter the United States with no criminal background checks. By any standard, Joe Biden is worse than the composite character David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama.

“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that,” the composite character said in 2012. In 2024, also an election year, Biden tells Americans that illegals “built the country” and are now the reason “our economy is growing.” The Delaware Democrat not only overrides the rule of law but reality itself.

Conrad Black has pronounced Joe Biden “a pallid effigy unable to utter complete sentences without requesting the approach of the teleprompter,” and a “wax-works effigy of a president.” If anybody though the Delaware Democrat was a wax-works effigy of a human being it would be hard to blame them.
