Joe Biden’s strategy for parole for undocumented immigrants appears to have been grossly misused, as evidenced by the incident with the infamous gang, Tren de Aragua, seizing control in Colorado. Respected law academic, Alan Dershowitz, employed at Harvard, seems confident that the Supreme Court will eventually favor the Trump administration’s endeavors to expel overseas gang members from the nation.
On Tuesday, an evenly-split panel of the Fifth Circuit handed down a judgment. This ruling indicates that President Trump’s application of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to combat the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela went beyond the boundaries set by the act. Two judges voiced their opinion that the gang’s behavior did not reach the level of national conflict that the law originally intended to target. Clearly, resolving this case will depend on interpreting immigration laws in light of contemporary challenges.
Alan Dershowitz has highlighted the intricacies involved in the case by stating, ‘It’s a close call. Depending on your perspective, you could see this statute as encompassing a massive influx into the U.S. orchestrated by another nation.’ He added, ‘The decision was split two to one.’
Dershowitz also suggested that the lower court’s ruling might not be the final verdict, indicating that the situation could still turn in favor of the Trump administration. ‘This outcome is not inevitable. I foresee it changing. I believe the president will ultimately have his actions in preventing the continued presence of alien gang members in the U.S. validated.’
The gang Tren de Aragua, has roots dating back to a Venezuelan prison in 2013 and has cultivated into a ferocious global organized crime syndicate. Today, they’ve assembled a strength of nearly 5,000 members operating over various international borders, boasting an impressive yet disturbing range.
Tren de Aragua’s influence has even extended to the U.S. It has a confirmed presence in at least 15 states, which led to President Trump labeling it and other significant Latin American factions as international terrorist organizations via an executive order.
Possibly 8 million Venezuelans have absconded from their country, fleeing the oppressive governance of President Nicolas Maduro. A significant portion of these Venezuelans attempted to infiltrate the U.S. borders during the Biden administration, thus testing the security measures in place.
Several of these individuals managed to gain entry illegally, while others utilized Joe Biden’s scheme set up for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. Unfortunately, this program has been manipulated by entities who were subsequently associated with the Tren de Aragua gang, a fact reflected in arrest records and data from Customs and Border Protection.
Clearly, Biden’s program provided a loophole, a sneaky passage that was promptly exploited. By creating avenues for potential gang members to infiltrate the nation, the parole program inadvertently served as an accomplice to crime syndicates such as Tren de Aragua.
Consequently, the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis appears misguided and detrimental. Rather than curbing the influx of volatile entities, policies enacted seem to have opened floodgates, allowing a torrent of nefarious activities to sweep across U.S. soil.
Essentially, the seemingly compassionate approach for parole of undocumented immigrants, particularly those from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, was wielded as a tool for the unsavory by those with the knowledge and intent to exploit it.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, Biden’s choice to handle the border crisis, failed to address the issue in a prudent manner. Glossing over the coupling of the immigration system’s flaws and gang induced terrorism, her strategy primarily led to a surge in unlawful activities.
This case firmly posits that a distinction exists between maintaining an open-door policy and upholding national security. However, opponents of the Trump administration suggest that the use of the Alien Enemies Act hints towards overreach, categorizing gang-related activities as national conflict.
Yet, Biden’s blueprint for handling undocumented immigrants appears to play into the hands of international crime organizations. When a gang such as Tren de Aragua can exploit immigration policies in such a manner, it’s an indictment of the current system and a clear call that reform is desperately needed.
In conclusion, though the topic of undocumented immigrants remains controversial and complex, the Biden-Harris administration’s actions have not eased the situation. Instead, their strategic misdirection has enabled international crime syndicates to exploit and infiltrate the American landscape.
