Holding Biden accountable for his border crimes

OPINION:

The United States, like Russia, is not a party to the International Criminal Court, but that did not prevent President Biden from endorsing the court’s war crimes indictment of Russian President Vladimir Putin in March 2023. Mr. Biden acknowledged that Russia and the U.S. do not recognize the court’s authority, “but I think it makes a very strong point,” he said.

Mr. Putin has “clearly committed war crimes,” Mr. Biden added.

The International Criminal Court seeks to end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the global community. Mr. Putin’s indictment came as a result of his actions on the Russia-Ukraine border. But what if the tables were turned on Mr. Biden?

Under Mr. Biden, human beings are broken daily on the hard, sharp edge of the U.S.-Mexico border. Borders are often dangerous places, and this is Mr. Biden’s border. He told Americans his administration would be humane, fair and orderly. It is none of those things.

Mr. Biden’s decisions and orders could easily result in his indictment on charges of “crimes against humanity.” What would be the likely counts in Mr. Biden’s indictment? Mr. Biden’s border is a place of murder, enslavement, torture, rape, and other inhumane acts. HIs administration has “lost” 85,000 children — a number that will grow. Hundreds of thousands of children have been forced into labor, as documented by no less than The New York Times.

Mr. Biden has directed and overseen the deliberate, systematic deconstruction of U.S. border security and immigration laws and policies. Mr. Biden’s border will be remembered as the symbol representing his administration’s willful neglect of basic human values, sliding into the abyss of mass exploitation and degradation.

Nothing crosses the U.S.-Mexico border without the consent of Mexican criminal cartels. Mr. Biden’s decisions and orders subsidize cartel human smuggling and trafficking operations. Neither he personally nor his senior executives are ignorant of that fact.

Mr. Biden masquerades as a compassionate humanitarian welcoming millions of “newcomers” to the United States. In reality, he is merely a flesh peddler bent on skewing 2030 census data for advantageous Electoral College numbers and issuing Social Security numbers as fast as he can to encourage illegal alien voter registration in time for the November election. The weekly Social Security numbers issued in Texas alone are staggering: 225,132 in the last week of March.

The criminality detailed above is only half the equation. U.S. citizens have suffered from the consequences of Mr. Biden’s decisions and actions. In Mr. Biden’s first year in office, 60 homicide or manslaughter convictions were attributed to illegal immigrants in 2021, a 1,900% increase from the previous year. Illegal immigrants committed 1,178 assaults and domestic violence crimes in 2021, a more than 400% increase from the 208 in 2020.

There are tragic, anecdotal press reports (e.g., the killing of Laken Riley) — but the upward trend of criminal arrests of illegal aliens is indisputable: in 2020 — 2,438; 2021 — 10,763; 2022 — 12,028; 2023 — 15,267; 2024 — 5,616 (as of March 21).

The past three years and four months of Mr. Biden’s displacement and relocation program have caused an unlawful migration shift that is charitably evaluated at more than 7.2 million people. That is a population greater than that of 36 states and almost every major American city.

Add to that figure 1.8 million known “gotaways” who evaded law enforcement and entered the U.S. That is 9 million people — a mass migration second only to the partition of India in 1947, which resulted in the displacement of approximately 14 million Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims.

Analysts estimate that the total number of people who have entered the U.S. unlawfully is between 16 million and 20 million. No one knows the real number. All done with a few strokes of Mr. Biden’s pen.

Mr. Biden’s decisions and actions are not a “policy dispute” — they are criminal actions affecting millions of people. Congress is unwilling or unable to impeach and remove Mr. Biden (or Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas). However failed and hollow that political process may be, justice ought to be sought for crimes committed. If, according to Mr. Biden, the International Criminal Court is justified in indicting Mr. Putin on war crimes charges, should Mr. Biden also join the ranks of Slobodan Milosevic and face the terror and brutality he has wrought?

The prosecutor can initiate an investigation or prosecution proprio motu (on its own initiative) based on information received from reliable sources. Hundreds of thousands of people could bring evidence against Mr. Biden. The human suffering and consequences of what Mr. Biden has done have yet to be tallied.

President Biden should be indicted by the International Criminal Court. The evidence against him and his systematic exploitation of migrant populations (in cooperation with transnational criminal organizations and corrupt politicians) for the accretion of personal and political power and enrichment is overwhelming. It is time for Mr. Biden to be held accountable for his border crimes.
