Biden’s open border infected the US with a “femicide” epidemic

The United Nations calls it “femicide” – the deliberate assault, rape and murder of girls and women because of their gender.

Crime is rampant in Latin America.

From South America and the Northern Triangle countries to Mexico’s northern border, femicide is visible at every turn.

Rape trees, with women’s underwear hanging from their branches, and rape tents, where girls and women are taken by smugglers, line the route.

Do you think rapes will stop if illegal immigrants enter the United States? No.

Now women are becoming victims of migrants and bringing “femicide” to their neighborhoods.

Where are the women’s rights groups?

Silence. They don’t care at all.

It is politically incorrect to criticize Latin America’s tolerance of violence against women.

Two weeks ago, illegal Ecuadorian Geovanny Inga-Landi, a Christian, is said to have attacked a 13-year-old girl on her way home from school in Queens.

He threatened her with a knife and raped her. He filmed the attack for his own amusement.

But progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Washington) laughed off the coverage of the monstrous crime, calling it “scaremongering.”

According to police reports, Inga-Landi has previously abused women and, among other things, beaten his pregnant wife.

He crossed the border illegally in 2021 and was ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge in New York City last February.

And what about the teenage victim?

Her distraught father is strongly opposed to President Biden’s “open borders policy” because “it brings with it a lot of things we don’t need,” he told the Post.

“Look what came in,” he said. “Look what happened to my daughter.”

Sexual violence against women is widespread in Latin America, reports the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), a division of the United Nations.

According to the George Bush Institute at the Wilson Center, a nonpartisan think tank based in Washington, DC, the number of femicides in Mexico is increasing rapidly.

“Gender-based violence remains one of the most important yet overlooked reasons for emigration from Central America and the region as a whole,” the institute said.

On April 24, UN official Alice Shackelford warned of an “emergency situation” in Honduras, saying that violence against women is being normalized there and that the country has the highest femicide rate in Latin America.

Migdonia Ayestad of the National Autonomous University of Honduras said the “level of hatred and contempt towards women” there is so great that “men believe they have a right to women’s bodies.”

Of course, the United Nations has its own left-wing ideological interests to represent in this matter, and most illegal immigrants from Latin America are not violent criminals.

But Biden’s open borders are allowing dangerous misogynistic attitudes to enter our country.

Leftists deny the problem.

They are horrified that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein raped women on a casting couch, but they willfully turn a blind eye when illegal immigrants from Latin America commit rapes.

“There is no culture south of the border that celebrates rape,” CNN political commentator Van Jones said Saturday. “They are insulting people south of the border.”

Sorry, but this is a change in the rules of the game.

In fact, violence against women is widespread in this region – and now we have brought the crime here.

The incidents are piling up: On February 25, an illegal immigrant from Honduras is said to have raped a 14-year-old girl at knifepoint in Kenner, Louisiana.

Illegal Mexican immigrant Eduardo Sarabia was arrested on May 16 on suspicion of kidnapping and raping two women in a white van that was equipped as a “rape dungeon on wheels.”

The illegal immigrant from El Salvador who was arrested this month for the alleged rape and murder of Rachel Morin in Maryland was also wanted for attacking a mother and her nine-year-old daughter during a burglary in Los Angeles.

Venezuela, where a large number of the women murderers come from, refuses to provide the United States with information about the criminal backgrounds of the migrants intercepted at the border.

Here are some of the consequences.

Laken Riley, a nursing student from Georgia, was allegedly raped and murdered by a Venezuelan migrant on February 22.

On the same day, Venezuelan migrant Renzo Mendoz Montes is said to have sexually abused a 14-year-old girl in Virginia.

Last week, the lifeless body of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was found in Houston, presumably murdered by two Venezuelan migrants.

They lured the girl under a bridge, stripped her naked to the waist, tied her hands and feet and raped her for two hours before killing her.

Too many deaths and life-destroying attacks.

Women’s rights groups supporting President Biden must speak out: safety from rapists and sexual predators is a fundamental right.

Leftists reject the word “illegal” and prefer the term “undocumented” instead.

But let’s not mince our words: some of them are rapists and murderers. Monsters.

Close the border to stop the femicide madness.
