The federal government’s failure to properly vet and keep track of lawless migrants leads to false claims that the illegal border-crossers are less likely to commit crimes.
In June, Victor Martinez-Hernandez was charged with the murder of a mother of five in Maryland, Rachel Morin. Police in Oklahoma tracked the accused repeat offender down with a sample of his DNA recovered from a Los Angeles home invasion in which a 9-year-old girl and her mother were assaulted. Police say he came to America illegally to escape prosecution for at least one other murder in his native El Salvador in December 2022.
