Suspected NYC child molester arrested: Letters to the editor

The problem: An illegal immigrant is arrested for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in a park in Queens.

A man has been arrested for raping a 13-year-old in Queens, just the latest example of President Biden’s disastrous border policy (“Migrant ‘filmed’ rape of child,” June 20).

President Biden’s border policies are negatively impacting every aspect of American life, from crime to inflation to education and much more. And while his Democratic colleagues complain about not getting enough money for their self-inflicted disaster, what do we hear from them about actually closing the border? No response.

As long as these politicians are not removed from office, the gradual destruction of the country will continue.

This tragic crime should never have happened. The Biden administration and the current leadership in New York, who support their open borders policy, will continue to ensure that innocent Americans become victims of rape, murder, and many other crimes.

They seem to care more about people who break the law to enter the United States than about law-abiding citizens.

Congratulations to the brave people who caught the suspected criminal. Mayor Adams and the Governor should resign.

The front-page headline on June 20 unnecessarily refers to a man who confessed to raping a 13-year-old girl while an illegal immigrant.

Would the Post Office have labeled him a U.S. citizen if he had been a U.S. citizen?

Undocumented migrants are mostly hard-working people who make an enormous contribution to our society by doing work that others often do not want to do, and they receive precious little gratitude for their sacrifice.

They help fill labor shortages in many industries, they grow our food, care for our elderly, and (according to numerous studies) commit fewer crimes than Americans.

The lives of undocumented migrants are hard enough without being vilified on the front page of the Washington Post.

The woman who identified and arrested the alleged rapist did a job worthy of a medal of honor (“Femme fatale sent message,” June 20).

More people should be aware of the bravery of this person. This scumbag deserves physical punishment. His victim will have to live with this injury for the rest of his life, both mentally and physically.

While our sleepwalker-in-chief procrastinates, Vice President Kamala Harris visited Central America to investigate the “root causes” of the immigration crisis while innocent citizens suffer serious injuries, maiming, and worse, including the recent rape of a 13-year-old in Queens.

Does anyone need another reason to vote her out of office in November?

Biden has created a crisis at the border that led to the attack on this girl.

How many more citizens have to be sexually harassed before the Democrats understand this?

Thank God for all the Good Samaritans in New York City who came to the rescue and beat and tied up the man who raped a 13-year-old girl.

Essentially, these brave and honorable citizens have cleaned up the dirty work left behind by Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Because of this administration’s failed border policies, Biden and Mayorkas are 100% responsible for what happened to this child. Therefore, both Biden and Mayorkas should be removed from office for dereliction of duty.

If the borders had been closed, this man would not have been allowed into the country and the young girl would not have been raped.

The United States should close all borders.
