Jorge’s Election Interference Continues Full Speed Ahead
Although the scions of the organized crime family of the false opposite of the naturalist “left” continue to talk about “Russian Collusion” as they use lawfare and censorship against their political opponents, the real foreign interference in American elections in the past nearly eleven and one-half years has come from the Casa Santa Marta behind the Walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bank of the Tiber River, something that I pointed out at length a few months ago in The Argentine Anti-Apostle’s Biennial Election Interference Campaign Has Begun.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s election interference this year has become so pronounced as to make any opposition to illegal immigration a “grave sin” that, one must presume, must be confessed in what the conciliar authorities called the “Sacrament of Reconciliation.”
Here is a press report followed by the conciliar Vatican’s official text:
VATICAN CITY, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Pope Francis on Wednesday strongly decried the treatment of migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea to enter Europe, saying it was a "grave sin" not to offer aid to migrant vessels.
"There are those who work systematically and with every means to reject migrants," the pontiff said during his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square.
"And this, when done with conscience and responsibility, is a grave sin," he said.
The pope has spoken frequently about the treatment of migrants over his 11-year papacy. But his words on Wednesday, invoking Catholic terminology for one of the worst kinds of sin, were especially strong. (Francis says refusing aid to migrants a 'grave sin')
It is interesting to note that opposing illegal immigration by the enforcement of a civil state’s Natural Law duties to provide for the security and health of its own citizens is now a “grave sin,” words that the Argentine Apostate never applies to sodomy and its related perversities.
Here is the official text of Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s August 28, 2024, general audience address:
Dear brothers and sisters, good morning!
Today, I will postpone the usual catechesis and I would like to pause with you to think about the people who – even at this moment – are crossing seas and deserts to reach a land where they can live in peace and safety.
Sea and desert: these two words return in many testimonies I receive, both on the part of migrants, and of people who are engaged in coming to their aid. And when I say “sea”, in the context of migrations, I also mean ocean, lake, river, all the insidious bodies of water that so many brothers and sisters all over the world are forced to cross to reach their destination. And “desert” is not only that of sand and dunes, or rocks, but they are also those inaccessible and dangerous territories, such as forests, jungles, steppes where migrants walk alone, left to their own devices. Migrants, sea and desert. Today’s migratory routes are often marked by crossings of seas and deserts, which for many, too many people – too many! – are deadly. Therefore, today I want to dwell on this drama, this pain. Some of these routes we know well, because they are often in the spotlight; others, the majority, are little known, but no less
I have spoken about the Mediterranean many times, because I am the Bishop of Rome and because it is emblematic: the mare nostrum, a place of communication between peoples and civilizations, has become – the mare nostrum – it has become a cemetery. And the tragedy is that many, the majority of these deaths, could have been prevented. It must be said clearly: there are those who work systematically and with every means possible to repel migrants – to repel migrants. And this, when done with awareness and responsibility, is a grave sin. Let us not forget what the Bible tells us: “You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him” (Ex 22:21). The orphan, the widow and the stranger are the quintessential poor whom God always defends and asks to be defended.
Some deserts too, unfortunately, are becoming cemeteries of migrants. And even here it is not always a question of “natural” deaths. No. At times, they have been taken to the desert and abandoned. We all know the photograph of the wife and daughter of Pato, who died of hunger and thirst in the desert. In the time of satellites and drones, there are migrant men, women and children that no-one must see: they are hidden. Only God sees them and hears their cry. And this is a cruelty of our civilization.
Indeed, the sea and the desert are also biblical places, loaded with symbolic value. They are very important scenes in the history of the exodus, the great migration of the people led by God through Moses from Egypt to the promised Land. These places witness the drama of the people fleeing oppression and slavery. They are places of suffering, fear, and desperation, but at the same time they are places of passage for liberation – and how many people cross the seas and the deserts to free themselves, today – they are places of passage for redemption, to reach freedom and the fulfilment of God’s promises (cf. Message for World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2024).
There is a Psalm which says to the Lord: “Thy way was through the sea / Thy path through the great waters” (77:19). And another says that He “led His people through the wilderness / for His steadfast love endures forever” (136:16). These words, blessed words tell us that, to accompany the people on their journey to freedom, God Himself crosses the sea and the desert; God does not remain at a distance, no; He shares in the migrants’ drama, God is there with them, with the migrants, He suffers with them, with the migrants, He weeps and hopes with them, with the migrants. It will be good for us today: the Lord is with our migrants in the mare nostrum, the Lord is with them, not with those who repel them.
Brothers and sisters, we can all agree on one thing: migrants should not be in those seas and in those lethal deserts. But it is not through more restrictive laws, it is not with the militarization of borders, it is not with rejection that we will obtain this result. Instead, we will obtain it by extending safe and legal access routes for migrants, providing refuge for those who free from war, violence, persecution and various disasters; we will obtain it by promoting in every way a global governance of migration based on justice, fraternity and solidarity. And by joining forces to combat human trafficking, to stop the criminal traffickers who mercilessly exploit the misery of others.
I wish to conclude by acknowledging and praising the commitment of the many good Samaritans who do their utmost to rescue and save injured and abandoned migrants on the routes of desperate hope, in the five continents. These courageous men and women are a sign of a humanity that does not allow itself to be contaminated by the malign culture of indifference and rejection – it is our indifference and that attitude of rejection that kills migrants. And those who cannot stay with them “on the front line” – I think of the many good people who are there on the front line, with Mediterranea Saving Humans and so many other associations – are not therefore excluded from this fight for civilization. We cannot be on the front line but we are not excluded; there are many ways to make a contribution, first and foremost prayer. And I ask you: do you pray for migrants, for those who come to our lands to save their lives? And then they want to send them away…
Dear brothers and sisters, let us join our hearts and forces, so that the seas and deserts are not cemeteries, but spaces where God may open up roads to freedom and fraternity. (General Audience of 28 August 2024.)
What about the lives of people in the United States of America and elsewhere around the world that have brutally ended by violent criminals who broke just immigration laws specifically to commit violence at will as they had done in their own countries before leaving, something that is particularly the case with the criminals from Venezuela whom the lawless administration of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and Kamala Harris have permitted to travel throughout the United States?
What about these tales of terror that are occurring right now, tales that can never pierce the darkened heart, blinded eyes, and deaf eyes of the globalist/Marxist/homosexualist apologist from Argentina?
The Mexican border state of Chihuahua is on alert for members of a violent Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua, or TdA, after receiving reports that members of the gang were moving through the state to cross into the U.S. near El Paso, Texas.
Chihuahua Secretary of Public Safety Gilberto Loya warned Monday that Mexican authorities have seen a large number of individuals they believe are members of TdA operating in the state and passing through to cross the U.S. border with Mexico near El Paso, according to a report from the Latin Times.
The report comes after the Treasury Department in July sanctioned TdA as a transnational criminal organization, noting that the gang has committed human trafficking, extortion, money laundering and drug trafficking that pose a "deadly criminal threat" across the Western Hemisphere.
"Tren de Aragua leverages its transnational networks to traffic people, especially migrant women and girls, across borders for sex trafficking and debt bondage," the Treasury Department said in a statement at the time. "Tren de Aragua members often kill them and publicize their deaths as a threat to others."
U.S. officials warned earlier this month that the gang, which originated in Aragua, Venezuela, is infiltrating the U.S., while Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas., has described TdA as "MS-13 on steroids."
"They're extremely aggressive. It's not as if they're a passive group, or they want to quietly go about things," Gonzales said in a phone interview with Fox News Digital earlier this month. "They're coming from Venezuela, one of the most war-torn countries over the last decade. So, they're battle-hardened in many ways. And they've made this trek from there to here. But they are also becoming… more organized and more brazen."
Members of the gang are suspected of being behind a recent video that captured a group of men armed with handguns and rifles bursting through the doors of an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, that residents say has been overrun by gang activity.
"This is organized. They patrol the property with guns visibly, like they're not trying to hide them. There's no repercussion. These are ghosts," said one resident who spoke with Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.
The gang has been seen dealing drugs from the apartment building, another resident told Fox News Digital, while Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky told Fox News Digital that "without a doubt that there is sex trafficking now going on" when it comes to TdA’s activities in the city.
In Mexico, Loya said that the group has been responsible for multiple homicides in Central Mexico and that it is his hope the border state can get out in front of the problem.
"We have detected — thanks to collaboration with the United States — that a large number of people who belong to Tren de Aragua have passed through Chihuahua," Loya said, according to a translation by Border Report. "Seeing what is going on in [Central Mexico], we want to be ahead of the curve here in Chihuahua."
Neither the White House nor U.S. Customs and Border Patrol immediately responded to Fox News Digital requests for comment. (El Paso on alert as Venezuelan gang surges into US: 'MS-13 on steroids'.)
A group of around 20 suspected illegal migrants attempted to board a school bus picking up elementary students in California on Wednesday, according to local reports, worrying parents.
The incident unfolded just 24 hours after a smaller group of suspected migrants tried to get on another school bus in the same district, according to local media citing education officials.
The two incidents took place within the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District in San Diego County, which is about 11 miles north of the southern border.
The Wednesday incident saw a group of 20 migrants try to get on a bus picking up students along highway 94, FOX 5 reports, citing an emailed notice sent to student families from the district’s superintendent, Liz Bystedt.
However, parents present at the stop helped the students get onto the bus safely and ensured no others boarded.
Nicole Cardinale, whose 8-year-old son was on the bus, said the encounter was "really scary" for the children.
"[My son] said these adults, they weren’t kids, he said they had backpacks on Mom, and they were trying to get on our bus. He said there was a lot of them," she told the outlet.
On Tuesday, a group composed of three suspected migrant males was walking in the middle of the highway and allegedly tried to stop another bus, prompting it to "go around" the group, according to Bystedt. It’s unclear if students were on the bus at the time.
No suspected migrants boarded either bus and no injuries were reported, according to the outlet.
Bystedt wrote that while an investigation is being carried out, buses will drive past stops with migrants nearby and will instead head directly to the next one on the route "for the safety of students and bus drivers."
"Please stay [vigilant] and if the bus drives by, please follow the bus to pick up your child at the next stop," she told families in the emailed notice.
Kimberly King, the media relations director for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, said police are investigating to determine if "a criminal act has occurred."
"The Sheriff’s Office takes issues regarding student safety very seriously and are working with the school district in order to keep the students and our community safe," King said in a statement to FOX 5.
Fox News Digital reached out to Border Patrol and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department but did not immediately receive a response.
Meanwhile, another parent, Jeremy Adams, called on the district to come up with a safety plan to quell fears.
"We don’t know who these people are, we don’t know if they have any criminal history [or] what their background is," Adams told FOX 5.
Jim Desmond, a San Diego County Supervisor representing the Fifth District, sounded off on the incidents, writing on X that they were the result of an open border policy.
This is horrific and deserves an immediate investigation," Desmond wrote, sharing a video news report about the incident.
"Over 250,000 illegal immigrants have entered San Diego in the past year and this is just another example of the chaos that is occurring. We are still seeing thousands enter every day. Shut down the border!"
The news comes after California lawmakers advanced a bill that would give illegal immigrants up to $150,000 in first-time homeownership loans. If passed and signed into law, it would give first-time homebuyers up to 20% of a home's value or up to $150,000 as down payment assistance. (Migrant groups attempt to board school buses in California: report.)
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it “imagination” — despite video footage, police reports and the city’s mayor confirming it’s happening.
Polis’ press office offered the snarky statement Wednesday night in response to Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky — who told The Post the gang’s takeovers are tied to his policies.
“The Governor has already let the Mayor know that the State is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed,” Shelby Wieman, a spokesperson for the Dem governor, told The Post.
“But, according to police intelligence this purported invasion is largely a feature of Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.”
Wieman added that “it’s illegal to take over buildings in Colorado” and if Jurinsky has “knowledge” of such activity that the governor’s office is “ready to assist” cops “in taking them back.”
“Violent crime dropped in Aurora between 2022 and 2023,” said Wieman.
Despite the governor’s claims, however, the evidence is clear.
On Wednesday night, Fox Denver aired surveillance video, which showed an armed gang of men — later confirmed by cops as suspected members of Tren de Aragua — strolling through an apartment complex in Aurora that residents said is overrun by the gang.
Three of the men could be seen carrying handguns, while another held a rifle as they entered the troubled apartment complex, breaking into a unit shortly before a shootout took place at the complex that left one person severely injured.
Further, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, told Fox News on Thursday that “there are several buildings” that have “fallen to these Venezuelan gangs” in his city.
Coffman said he believes the buildings were used as taxpayer-funded migrant housing, which is what gave the gangs a foothold.
Denver — a sanctuary city that is just west of Aurora — has received more migrants per capita than any city in the country, most of them from Venezuela. More than 40,000 migrants have arrived since December 2022.
The Post asked Polis’ office if he intends to backtrack its statement given the piles of evidence of Tren de Aragua’s takeover, to which Wieman said the governor “really hopes that the city council members in charge stop trashing their own city when they are supposed to keep it safe.
“Over the last month, Governor Polis has been in regular contact with the City of Aurora and the Aurora Police Department and has offered all state assistance to support their efforts if requested,” she said, adding that they expect violent crime to continue to decrease.
The Post exposed the gang’s takeover of apartments in Aurora and identified the area’s “shot-caller” Jhonardy Jose Pacheco-Chirino, who is known as “Galleta,” or cookie in English.
Pacheco-Chirino alongside his fellow gangsters brutally beat a man at an apartment complex in Aurora.
He was later arrested and then let go on bail.
During the assault, a witness said that Pacheco-Chirino and his accomplices were “part of a gang that steals from Walmart” and claiming “they run” the apartment, according to an affidavit obtained by The Post.
One witness said “she was afraid to talk much because of the dangerous people living in the complex.”
The apartment investor told The Post that they’ve “lost control” of several properties because the gang has taken over units.
“They were first hanging out around the property and creating a bad element that’s constantly there. And then they started taking over, quite a few months ago, they started taking over vacant units.”
In July, Pacheco-Chirino was arrested for a shooting at the same complex, where two men were wounded.
All the while, Polis has embrace sanctuary policies for Colorado.
In recent months, the governor signed legislation to support their new lives in the state by making it easier for them to obtain driver’s licenses, attend school and obtain taxpayer-funded resources.
When the influx of migrants became too much, Polis made the decision to start busing them to New York City in 2023, through a program that’s since ended.
Still, many stayed and some moved to nearby Aurora — which has a population of 390,000 — where apartments are now under the gang’s siege. (Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismisses migrant gang takeover of Aurora apartments as 'imagination'.)
No, Jorge Mario Bergoglio cares about none of this as he conflates genuine Christian concern for those in need with his unqualified support for open borders and all the chaos that occurs with it, including the simple fact that most of the children who cross borders illegally are victims of the very human trafficking that he, Bergoglio, rightly denounces. He has said not one word about the victims of illegal immigrant crime. Not one word. They are as invisible to him as the tiny victims of baby-butchery that he enables by his continued unqualified support for every single pro-abortion public leader on the face of the earth without exception while condemning those who support measures to protect public health and safety.
There is nothing in the patrimony of Holy Mother Church’s authentic social teaching that requires the leaders of civil states to indiscriminately throw open their borders to put their own citizens at risk of bodily injury or death nor to then provide illegal immigrants with social benefits that denied to their citizens while expecting those citizens to foot the bill for such insanity by the imposition of excessive taxation.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio is making it clear that someone such as Donald John Trump is committing a “grave sin” by seeking to stop illegal immigration in the United States of America while saying nothing at all about the truly grave sin that the former president is committing by stating that he will vote in favor of a referendum on the ballot in the State of Florida to overturn the Sunshine State’s partial ban on baby-killing after a baby is six weeks old in his mother’s womb (see Trump suggests he’ll vote to overturn Florida’s six-week abortion ban: ‘Too short’.)
The situation is so bad now that even a few European one worlders such as the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Olaf Scholz, the leader of the Social Democrat Party in the Bundestag and hence the country's chancellor, have had enough of migrant crime and are starting the process to ease deporations. This is what Scholz said last week following a Mohammedan knife attack in Solingen, Germany, that killed three people:
BERLIN (AP) — Top German officials said Wednesday they will hold talks with the country’s opposition and state governments on ways to step up deportations and curb migration following the Solingen knife attack, in which a suspected extremist from Syria who had avoided being deported is accused of killing three people.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Interior Minister Nancy Faeser will invite representatives of the main conservative opposition Christian Democratic Union, leading state governments and federal ministries for “confidential and focused talks” on consequences of Friday’s attack.
“The aim of this joint effort is clear: to further reduce irregular migration to Germany,” he said at a news conference.
An attacker with a knife killed three people and wounded eight at a festival in the western German city of Solingen on Friday. The incident increased longstanding pressure on Scholz’s government to do more to reduce migration.
The chancellor already vowed after a knife attack by an Afghan immigrant in late May which left one police officer dead that Germany will start deporting criminals from Afghanistan and Syria again, but work on how to do that is still ongoing.
Friday’s attack highlighted problems with returning rejected asylum-seekers to the first country where they entered the European Union, as is supposed to happen under EU rules. The suspect was supposed to be deported to Bulgaria last year but reportedly disappeared for a time and avoided deportation.
On Tuesday, opposition leader Friedrich Merz met Scholz and made proposals that included turning back migrants at Germany’s borders who already entered another EU country, if necessary by declaring a “national emergency.” He also has advocated a halt to admitting refugees from Afghanistan and Syria.
Scholz responded in an interview with ZDF television Tuesday night that “the individual right to asylum remains — that is in our constitution, and no one will question it with my support.”
On Wednesday, he pointed to action his government already has taken to ease deportations and impose border checks. He said that “we will draw the necessary lessons from this terrible act.” (German government to hold talks with the opposition on responses to the Solingen attack.)
Will Jorge Mario Bergoglio accuse Olaf Scholz, a non-practicing Lutheran and an open Socialist, of committing a "grave sin" by exploring means to ease the deportation of criminal migrants?
Will the Argentine Apostate even once admit that open borders is the path to destroying national identities? (On the other hand, of course, this is precisely what the globalists want, and Senor Jorge is a globalist.)
Worse yet, Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s refusal to discuss the crimes committed by illegal border crossers is tantamount to Colorado Governor Jared Polis’s dismissal of such crimes as “imaginary.” “Pope Francis” is as unwilling the utter the names of Laken Riley or Rachel Morin as the likes of the United States Minister of Homeland Insecurity Alejandro Mayorkas.
These random attacks are on the increase, of course, because of the hordes of unvetted lawbreakers who have entered the United States of America illegally but have been nevertheless welcomed as "newcomers" or "asylum seekers" by the administration of the dementia-ridden octogenarian in the White House and his Secretary of Homeland Security, the truly despicable Alejandro Mayorkas, who could not bring himself to say the name of Rachel Morin or Joycelyn Nungaray after they had been killed by an illegal immigrants one thousand miles apart from one another:
Rachel Morin’ mother blasted Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ for referring to her daughter, who was murdered by an illegal migrant, as an “individual” instead of naming her in a Tuesday interview.
“It’s a completely political statement because they’re not even willing to acknowledge that she was a mother, a daughter,” Patty Morin told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night.
“It totally depersonalizes her and makes her an object,” said Patty, who also revealed no one from the Biden administration has reached out to her grieving family since her daughter’s alleged killer was arrested.
Alleged Salvadoran gang member Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, 23, was busted Friday for allegedly killing the 37-year-old mom of five on a hiking trail in August in Harford County, Md.
Rachel’s death and Martinez-Hernandez’s arrest has sparked a new wave of outrage about migrants pouring over the southern border.
On Tuesday, Mayorkas appeared on CNN and was asked about Rachel’s murder and his response to critics blaming the administration’s policies for violent crimes committed by migrants.
He referred to Morin as “the individual” in his reply.
“First and foremost of course our hearts break for the children, the loved ones and the friends of the individual who was murdered — the woman, the mother,” Mayorkas told Jim Acosta.
“A criminal is responsible for the criminal act,” he added. “The criminal who committed this heinous act should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and forcefully so.”
His response drew the ire of Morin’s family.
“They just seem to be disconnected completely from what is happening at the southern border and how it is affecting Americans,” Morin family attorney Randolph Rice said during Wednesday night’s interview on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“They are hemorrhaging at the southern border and they’re arguing about what kind of bandaid to put on it when instead they should be putting a tourniquet on it and stopping this flow so that we don’t have another Rachel Morin,” Rice added.
Rachel was snatched off the Ma and Pa hiking Trail in Bel Air, Md., and dragged into the woods, according to investigators.
Her body was found in a culvert Aug. 6.
Martinez-Hernandez had already been wanted in a previous killing in El Salvador and for assaulting a mom and young girl in a brutal home invasion in Los Angeles.
He’d been living in the country illegally since crossing through Mexico in 2023, officials said.
Authorities found the career criminal “casually sitting at the bar” Friday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma, cops said.
He has been charged with first-degree murder and first-degree rape in her death.
Rachel’s sister told The Post this week she believes her sister’s alleged killer may have additional victims. (Rachel Morin's mother blasts DHS Secretary for calling slain daughter 'individual'.)
Tone-deaf Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday shrugged off attempts to blame Biden’s border policy for the horrific slaughter of Americans at the hands of illegal migrants, saying, “The individual who is responsible for a heinous criminal act is the criminal.”
His comment during a press conference from a Border Patrol aircraft hangar in Tucson, Arizona — some 70 miles from the nearest border crossing — came in response to a question about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutalized and murdered in Houston, allegedly by two Venezuelan migrants who were released into the US earlier this year.
“We screen and vet individuals when we encounter them,” he said.
Border agents quickly responded with skepticism to Mayorkas’ claims that the DHS was sufficiently vetting anybody crossing the US border, saying his comments Wednesday show he’s living in “fairytale land.”
“I don’t know what Mayorkas is smoking because it needs to be legalized,” one Border Patrol source told The Post.
“If by vetting he means fingerprinting and doing some half-a**ed background check that has access to almost nothing outside of the United States, then yeah it’s a great process.”
He defended the border vetting procedures — even while acknowledging at least eight ISIS-linked suspected terrorists managed to slip through US custody and enter the country.
The Post first reported on the ISIS suspects being arrested after traveling as far as Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York.
“We did not have derogatory information when they were first encountered,” Mayorkas said.
“Concerns were raised subsequently, we used our law enforcement authorities to apprehend and detain them and they are in removal proceedings as we speak,” he added — in the first press conference about the border since Senate Democrats blocked an impeachment trial against him, effectively acquitting him of the charges.
Mayorkas’ statement comes the same day that NBC News also reported DHS has identified more than 400 migrants who were brought to the US from Central Asia by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network — and that the whereabouts of more than 50 of them are unknown.
Sources said that not only are the background checks limited by many countries’ refusal to provide information on their citizens, the source explained, but agents are rarely given enough time to effectively screen people before they have to let them go – usually within three days.
“We run checks but unless they have an actual database hit or have interactions with law enforcement in the US we really don’t know,” one source said.
An ICE source echoed those concerns, adding that background checks often come back with errors or are totally incomplete.
The source said migrants often have to be released before border agents have time to fully see the checks through.
“Not all checks come back completed, or verified due to potential errors, in time before a subject could be released letting a potential criminal into the country prior to being completely vetted,” the source said.

Two of the migrants had been in the country for months under surveillance by a Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The migrants hailed from Tajikistan, a central Asian country bordering Afghanistan that’s become a hotbed of extremist activity through ISIS.
In addition to the terror suspects, a string of high-profile crimes against women and girls have been linked to illegal migrants who were released into the US.
The suspects charged with killing Nungaray — who was lured under a bridge in Houston and assaulted for two hours and then had her hands and legs bound before being strangled to death and dumped in a Bayou — were stopped by border patrol officers and released just weeks before the crime.
Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 21, entered the US in March and was taken off a GPS monitoring program weeks before Nungaray’s murder after he was not deemed to be a threat, sources said.
Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26, entered the country last month and was still being monitored at the time of the crime.
Both men are being held on $10 million bail.
Such assurances meant little to the family of Rachel Morin, the Maryland mom-of-five raped and brutally murdered in August allegedly by 23-year-old Victor Martinez Hernandez, who illegally entered the US in February 2023 just a month after allegedly murdering a woman back home in El Salvador.
“It appears the tragic rape and murder of Rachel Morin wasn’t enough to spur action,” said Morin family attorney Randolph Rice. “Perhaps the danger of terrorists entering our country will finally make our government leaders realize the urgency of this situation and take action to protect American citizens.”
“What further tragedy needs to happen before our leaders in Washington wake up and say, ‘We have a disastrous problem; let’s shut the southern border down until we figure out a better way to do this?’” he added.
Morin is just one of several American women and girls who have been violently preyed on by predators who recently entered the country illegally.
Barely a week before Mayorkas’ conference, 12-year-old Jocelyn was bound, stripped half naked from the waist down, and strangled to death in Houston on the night of June 16.
The men accused of the brutal crime, 26-year-old Franklin Jose Pena Ramos and 21-year-old Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, both crossed the border in El Paso this spring and were fitted with ankle monitors by immigration officials.
Pena Ramos was still being monitored at the time of Jocelyn’s murder and cut his ankle bracelet two days later, while Rangel Martinez’s was officially removed weeks earlier after he was deemed to not be a threat.
Jocelyn’s family echoed the Morins’ disgust about current border security during an appearance on with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Tuesday night.
“We have to stop burying our kids, this is not right,” grandfather Kelvin Alvarenga said.
“We have to have more reinforcement when it comes to letting people in, this is not okay, it’s not okay,” he added. “It happens all over the country. We need a safer country.”
Days earlier across the country in NYC, a 13-year-old girl was raped in broad daylight in a Queens park allegedly by 25-year-old Ecuadorian migrant Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, who has been in the country since he crossed at Eagle Pass in 2021.
In February, 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley was brutally murdered while going for a run on campus. Venezuelan migrant Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was charged with murder and kidnapping in her killing.
After insisting Biden’s border policies were sound, Mayorkas went on to blame congressional gridlock for the nation’s troubles while highlighting a major funding package which failed to pass in May.
“Executive actions are no substitute for congressional action. Only congress and deliver a full and lasting solution,” he said. “Only congress through legislation can fix what everyone agrees is a broke immigration system that was last updated almost 30 years ago. Only congress can give us the resources we need. We have been under resourced for decades.” (Mayorkas: Biden's border policy working despite letting in ISIS terrorists, killers.)
Republicans slammed the White House for its “pathetic” and “shameful” statements on the killings of Rachel Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray — which never mentioned they were murdered by illegal immigrants
Morin, 37, was raped and murdered on a Maryland hiking trail in August 2023.
Earlier this month, Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, 23, a native of El Salvador who entered the US illegally, was arrested and charged with the crime.
The body of Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, was found near a creek in Houston on Monday.
Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, both from Venezuela, were charged with the killing.
The White House issued statements on both incidents this week – failing to mention that all three suspects were in the US illegally.
Kim George, a Republican congressional candidate in Arkansas, slammed both statements as “pathetic.”
“Weak leadership is to blame for these senseless deaths. Nothing can be said to change what happened, but the families deserve better. They deserve #justice,” she wrote.
“Yet another American family is destroyed by Joe Biden’s open border.” wrote Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL).
“We MUST secure our border NOW.”
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign also chimed in on the controversy.
“Crooked Joe Biden is a disgrace,” the campaign’s “war room” account wrote on X.
“The brutal murders of these Americans is on the hands of Biden — and the evil Biden migrants he released into our country.”
A White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Rachel Morin.”
“We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases. But fundamentally, we believe that people should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty.”
On Friday, a White House spokesperson issued a nearly identical statement to NBC News about Nungaray.
“Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of Jocelyn Nungaray,” the comment read.
We cannot comment on active law enforcement cases,” the spokesperson continued.
“But fundamentally, anyone found guilty of this type of heinous and shocking crime should be held accountable, to the fullest extent of the law.”
Rachel Morin’s mother said this week that former President Trump phoned her to express his condolences.
“I am deeply touched by President Trump’s kindness and concern,” Patty Morin said.
“He was genuine and truly wanted to know how our family was coping,” she added.
“He asked about Rachel and showed honest compassion for her untimely death.
The grieving mom also criticized the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorkas for referring to her daughter as an “individual” during an interview.
“It totally depersonalizes her and makes her an object,” Patty said, adding that no one from the Biden administration reached out to her family since her daughter’s alleged killer was arrested. (Family of Jocelyn Nungaray pleads for heightened border security: 'We have to stop burying our kids'.
Mrs. Morin was entirely correct, of course, as it is essential for the pro-abortion Mayorkas to dehumanize the victims of his refusing to enforce the Federal government's immigration laws as nameless people who were simply the victims of one criminal rather than the victims of his own policies that turned lawbreaking border crossers loose upon the American public in places far, far away from the border with the United Mexican States to commit the same sort of crimes here that they had been committing in their own countries with impunity. It is very easy to dehumanize anyone and everyone after birth once his humanity within the sanctuary of his mother's womb has been denied, and this is precisely what Jorge Mario Bergoglio is doing as well as he lives in his own parallel universe at the Casa Santa Marta behind the Walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bank of the Tiber River.
Putting Aside All Emotion
Catholics must put aside all emotion on the explosive issue of illegal immigration in order to look at the concrete principles (the right and duty of nations to defend their borders and to control the flow of immigration according to just laws) as they seek how to apply those principles in a prudent manner that is conducive to national security and at the same time takes account of the actual circumstances in which those who have heretofore entered one's country illegally find themselves.
We must remember that those who have entered this country illegally or are trying to seek illegal entry into it are human beings who possess souls created in the image and likeness of the Most Blessed Trinity and have been redeemed, whether or not they know it or understand much about it if they do, by the Most Precious Blood Our Divine Redeemer, Christ the King. They cannot be dismissed in a demagogic fashion as threats to the “purity of the blood” or as objects to be derided. Many of these people have been the victims of the human traffickers and others are truly desperate about the situations in their home countries. Even though a lot have come here for the proverbial free ride and to enjoy the benefits such are being handed out to them by the mayoral administration of the City of New York, New York, and by the administration of Governor Gavin Newsom in California, illegal aliens must be the object of our prayers as we pray also for justice to be done in their cases while maintaining the public health and national security of native-born citizens and restoring the country’s territorial integrity.
Many there are, especially among Catholic "bishops" and priests/presbyters who are of the "leftist" bent of naturalism, who have served as nothing other than demagogues on the issue of illegal immigration, seeking to encourage non-Americans, especially from Mexico and Central America, to ignore American laws and then to serve as their ready enablers so as to lobby Federal, state, and local officials for various social services for these illegal immigrants. Some even have gone so far as to say that one cannot consider himself "pro-life" unless he believes in a national policy of "open borders" and then for a full panoply of social services to be extended to those who have entered our country without following a just and orderly process of immigration. Men such as Roger "Cardinal" Mahony, the disgraced former "archbishop" of Los Angeles, have been egregious in their open support of the flaunting of the just laws of the United States of America, daring to assert that the cause of defending those who have deliberately and willfully broken the just laws of this country are victims of "oppression" and that theirs is a "human rights" cause founded in the "dignity of man."
Other Catholics, especially those who are committed to one or another of the "rightist" bents of naturalism, engage in no small bit of demagoguery on their own parts, demonstrating in some instances a nativist mentality towards non-Americans that is eerily and most ironically similar to the nativist mentality exhibited by Freemasons and white Anglo-Saxon Protestants against Catholics who were emigrating from Ireland and Italy and parts of Central and Eastern Europe, including what is again today the nation of Poland that what was then divided among the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires, in the Nineteenth and early-Twentieth Centuries.
This all having been noted, however, civil leaders who permit unrestricted entry into their countries commit acts of injustice against their own citizens and against the illegal immigrants themselves, many of whom will continue breaking laws once inside another country just as they had to enter it in the first place while becoming accustomed to have their illegal presence subsidized by the very people that some among their number will terrorize or kill with absolute impunity.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio is concerned with none of that as it is a “grave sin” to even suggest that it is a duty of the civil state to protect its own citizens from foreign invaders intent on carrying on their criminal gang activity in other countries as they had done in their own.
Concluding Remarks
Human nature is wounded, although not entirely corrupted, by Original Sin, leaving the souls of the unbaptized in the grip of the devil and the souls of the baptized with its vestigial after-effects: a darkened intellect, weakened will and the overthrow of the rational, higher faculties in favor of the lower sensual appetites. The Actual Sins of men incline them to sin more and more and to blind them to anything other than what pleases them and their immediate self-interests, no matter how distorted or perverted those self-interests are in the objective order of things.
Men who do not seek to reform their lives by confessing their sins to a true priest in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance and then cooperating with the ineffable graces of the Divine Redeemer’s Most Precious Blood that flow into their souls once a priest utters the words of Absolution or, worse yet, do not even realize that there is any need to so will descend to barbarism over the course of time. There is no turning back the tide of the new barbarians who have been let loose as a direct and inevitable consequence of the fatally flawed belief that men can establish social order without reforming their lives in cooperation with the graces won for them by Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday and without a due submission in all that pertains to Holy Mother Church in all that pertains to the good of souls, upon which the entirety of social order depends.
Pope Pius XI explained in his first encyclical letter, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922, that men no longer acted as brothers to other men, but “as strangers, and even enemies,” that should resonate with us at all times:
Men today do not act as Christians, as brothers, but as strangers, and even enemies. The sense of man's personal dignity and of the value of human life has been lost in the brutal domination begotten of might and mere superiority in numbers. Many are intent on exploiting their neighbors solely for the purpose of enjoying more fully and on a larger scale the goods of this world. But they err grievously who have turned to the acquisition of material and temporal possessions and are forgetful of eternal and spiritual things, to the possession of which Jesus, Our Redeemer, by means of the Church, His living interpreter, calls mankind.
22. It is in the very nature of material objects that an inordinate desire for them becomes the root of every evil, of every discord, and in particular, of a lowering of the moral sense. On the one hand, things which are naturally base and vile can never give rise to noble aspirations in the human heart which was created by and for God alone and is restless until it finds repose in Him. On the other hand, material goods (and in this they differ greatly from those of the spirit which the more of them we possess the more remain to be acquired) the more they are divided among men the less each one has and, by consequence, what one man has another cannot possibly possess unless it be forcibly taken away from the first. Such being the case, worldly possessions can never satisfy all in equal manner nor give rise to a spirit of universal contentment, but must become perforce a source of division among men and of vexation of spirit, as even the Wise Man Solomon experienced: "Vanity of vanities, and vexation of spirit." (Ecclesiastes i, 2, 14). . . .
There is over and above the absence of peace and the evils attendant on this absence, another deeper and more profound cause for present-day conditions. This cause was even beginning to show its head before the War and the terrible calamities consequent on that cataclysm should have proven a remedy for them if mankind had only taken the trouble to understand the real meaning of those terrible events. In the Holy Scriptures we read: "They that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed." (Isaias i, 28) No less well known are the words of the Divine Teacher, Jesus Christ, Who said: "Without me you can do nothing" (John xv, 5) and again, "He that gathereth not with me, scattereth." (Luke xi, 23)
28. These words of the Holy Bible have been fulfilled and are now at this very moment being fulfilled before our very eyes. Because men have forsaken God and Jesus Christ, they have sunk to the depths of evil. They waste their energies and consume their time and efforts in vain sterile attempts to find a remedy for these ills, but without even being successful in saving what little remains from the existing ruin. It was a quite general desire that both our laws and our governments should exist without recognizing God or Jesus Christ, on the theory that all authority comes from men, not from God. Because of such an assumption, these theorists fell very short of being able to bestow upon law not only those sanctions which it must possess but also that secure basis for the supreme criterion of justice which even a pagan philosopher like Cicero saw clearly could not be derived except from the divine law. (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)
Paragraph number twenty-eight above says it all:
They waste their energies and consume their time and efforts in vain sterile attempts to find a remedy for these ills, but without even being successful in saving what little remains from the existing ruin. (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)
Yet is that even believing Catholics, especially many younger Catholics who know nothing of American political history, permit themselves to be distracted by the bread and circuses and the dog and pony shows of naturalism in the belief that they can change a process that is corrupt to its core because it is based on the anti-Incarnational sin of religious indifferentism, which itself has led to the triumph of practical atheism as the lowest common social denominator.
Catholicism is the one and only foundation for all legitimate social order.
Pope Pius XI made the same point in Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922:
Since the Church is the safe and sure guide to conscience, for to her safe-keeping alone there has been confided the doctrines and the promise of the assistance of Christ, she is able not only to bring about at the present hour a peace that is truly the peace of Christ, but can, better than any other agency which We know of, contribute greatly to the securing of the same peace for the future, to the making impossible of war in the future. For the Church teaches (she alone has been given by God the mandate and the right to teach with authority) that not only our acts as individuals but also as groups and as nations must conform to the eternal law of God. In fact, it is much more important that the acts of a nation follow God's law, since on the nation rests a much greater responsibility for the consequences of its acts than on the individual.
When, therefore, governments and nations follow in all their activities, whether they be national or international, the dictates of conscience grounded in the teachings, precepts, and example of Jesus Christ, and which are binding on each and every individual, then only can we have faith in one another's word and trust in the peaceful solution of the difficulties and controversies which may grow out of differences in point of view or from clash of interests. An attempt in this direction has already and is now being made; its results, however, are almost negligible and, especially so, as far as they can be said to affect those major questions which divide seriously and serve to arouse nations one against the other. No merely human institution of today can be as successful in devising a set of international laws which will be in harmony with world conditions as the Middle Ages were in the possession of that true League of Nations, Christianity. It cannot be denied that in the Middle Ages this law was often violated; still it always existed as an ideal, according to which one might judge the acts of nations, and a beacon light calling those who had lost their way back to the safe road.
There exists an institution able to safeguard the sanctity of the law of nations. This institution is a part of every nation; at the same time it is above all nations. She enjoys, too, the highest authority, the fullness of the teaching power of the Apostles. Such an institution is the Church of Christ. She alone is adapted to do this great work, for she is not only divinely commissioned to lead mankind, but moreover, because of her very make-up and the constitution which she possesses, by reason of her age-old traditions and her great prestige, which has not been lessened but has been greatly increased since the close of the War, cannot but succeed in such a venture where others assuredly will fail.
It is apparent from these considerations that true peace, the peace of Christ, is impossible unless we are willing and ready to accept the fundamental principles of Christianity, unless we are willing to observe the teachings and obey the law of Christ, both in public and private life. If this were done, then society being placed at last on a sound foundation, the Church would be able, in the exercise of its divinely given ministry and by means of the teaching authority which results therefrom, to protect all the rights of God over men and nations. (Pope Pius XI, Ubi Arcano Dei Consilio, December 23, 1922.)
In other words, Catholicism is the sole source of human sanctification and the legitimate teacher of men, and thus possesses the sole ability to provide the foundation for a social order that can be as just as possible in a world filled with fallen men, a point that Pope Pius XI reiterated in his encyclical letter commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the issuance of Rerum Novarum, Quadregesimo Anno, May 15, 1931:
127. Yet, if we look into the matter more carefully and more thoroughly, we shall clearly perceive that, preceding this ardently desired social restoration, there must be a renewal of the Christian spirit, from which so many immersed in economic life have, far and wide, unhappily fallen away, lest all our efforts be wasted and our house be built not on a rock but on shifting sand.[62]
128. And so, Venerable Brethren and Beloved Sons, having surveyed the present economic system, We have found it laboring under the gravest of evils. We have also summoned Communism and Socialism again to judgment and have found all their forms, even the most modified, to wander far from the precepts of the Gospel.
129. "Wherefore," to use the words of Our Predecessor, "if human society is to be healed, only a return to Christian life and institutions will heal it."[63] For this alone can provide effective remedy for that excessive care for passing things that is the origin of all vices; and this alone can draw away men's eyes, fascinated by and wholly fixed on the changing things of the world, and raise them toward Heaven. Who would deny that human society is in most urgent need of this cure now?
130. Minds of all, it is true, are affected almost solely by temporal upheavals, disasters, and calamities. But if we examine things critically with Christian eyes, as we should, what are all these compared with the loss of souls? Yet it is not rash by any means to say that the whole scheme of social and economic life is now such as to put in the way of vast numbers of mankind most serious obstacles which prevent them from caring for the one thing necessary; namely, their eternal salvation. (Pope Pius XI, Quadragesimo Anno, May 15, 1931.)
Most men today, however, are more concerned about the acquisition or possible loss of wealth once attained than they are about their immortal souls as they have “excessive care passing things that” are “the origin of all vices.” Only the true Faith can draw “men’s eyes, fascinated by and wholly fixated on the changing things of the world, and raise them toward Heaven.”
This world in which we live is passing away. The triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary will be made manifest ‘ere long. We must be focused on the sanctification and salvation of our own immortal souls as we keep our First Friday devotions with fervor and pray Our Lady’s Most Holy Rosary every day, including on each First Saturday for the intentions specified by the Mother of God in the Cova da Iria near Fatima, Portugal, and to Sister Lucia dos Santos in Tuy, Spain.
The following prayer, found in The Raccolta is one that we should pray every day:
O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge Thee as the King of the universe; all that has been made hath been created for Thee. Exercise over me all Thy sovereign rights. I hereby renew the promises of my Baptism, renouncing Satan and all his works and pomps, and I engage myself to lead henceforth a truly Christian life.And in an especial manner do I undertake to bring about the triumph of the rights of God and Thy Church, so far as in me lies. Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer Thee my poor actions to obtain the acknowledment of every heart of Thy sacred kingly power. In such wise may the Kingdom of Thy peace be firmly established throoughout all the earth. Amen. (As found in (The Raccolta: A Manual of Indulgences, Prayers and Devotions Enriched with Indulgences, approved by Pope Pius XII, May 30, 1951, and published in English by Benziger Brothers, New York, 1957, Number 272, p. 149.)
Put your trust in the Most Sacred Heart of Christ the King and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, praying as many Rosaries each day as one’s state-in-life permits.
Vivat Christus Rex!
Vivat Regina Mariae Immaculate!
