Biden’s open border has infected America with ‘femicide’ plague

The United Nations calls it “femicide” — the wanton assault, rape and murder of girls and women due to their gender.
It’s a criminal epidemic in Latin America.
Femicide is visible every step of the way from South America and the Northern Triangle countries to Mexico’s northern border.
Rape trees, where women’s underwear hangs from branches, and rape tents, where girls and women are dragged by smugglers, dot the route.
Do you think the rapes stop when illegal immigrants cross into the United States? No.
Now women are being victimized by migrants, bringing “femicide” to your neighborhood.
Where are the women’s rights groups?
Silent. They couldn’t care less.
It’s politically incorrect to criticize Latin America’s tolerance for violence against females.
Two weeks ago in Queens, an Ecuadoran illegal, Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, allegedly attacked a 13-year-old girl walking home from school.
He held her at knifepoint and raped her, recording the assault for his own future pleasure.
Yet progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) laughed off news coverage of the monstrous crime as “fear-mongering.”
Inga-Landi has a history of abusing females, including beating his pregnant wife, according to police reports.
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 teenaged victim?
Her distraught father adamantly opposes President Biden’s “open border policy” because “it invites a lot of things that we don’t need,” he told The Post.
“Look what came in,” he said. “Look what happened to my daughter.”
Sexual violence against females is rampant in Latin America, reports the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), a division of the United Nations.
In Mexico, femicide is soaring, according to the George Bush Institute at the Wilson Center, a nonpartisan Washington, DC, think tank.
“Gender-based violence remains one of the most significant yet overlooked drivers of out-migration across Central America and the broader region,” the institute has declared.
On April 24, UN official Alice Shackelford warned of an “emergency situation” in Honduras, where she said violence against women is being normalized, with the highest femicide rate in Latin America.
Migdonia Ayestad of the National Autonomous University of Honduras said the “degree of hatred and contempt against women” there is so severe that “men believe they have the right to women’s bodies.”
Of course, the United Nations has its own far-left ideological axe to grind in this matter, and most illegals from Latin America are not violent criminals.
But dangerous anti-female attitudes are invading our country through Biden’s open borders.
Leftists deny the problem.
They’re horrified that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein raped women on a casting couch, but they’re willfully blind when Latin American illegals commit rape.
“There’s no culture south of the border that celebrates rape,” CNN political commentator Van Jones said Saturday. “You’re insulting people south of the border.”
Sorry, but that’s moving the goalposts.
In fact, violence against women is rampant in that region — and now we’ve brought the crime here.
The incidents are piling up: A Honduran illegal migrant allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl at knifepoint in Kenner, La., on Feb. 25.
Mexican illegal migrant Eduardo Sarabia was arrested May 16 for allegedly kidnapping and raping two women in a white van outfitted to be a “rape dungeon on wheels.”
The El Salvadorian illegal migrant arrested this month for allegedly raping and murdering Rachel Morin in Maryland was also wanted for assaulting a mother and her 9-year-old daughter during a Los Angeles home break-in.
Venezuela, which is supplying a hefty share of femicidal criminals, refuses to provide the US with criminal background information about migrants apprehended at the border.
Here are a few of the consequences.
Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student, was raped and murdered on Feb. 22, allegedly by a Venezuelan migrant.
That same day, Venezuelan migrant Renzo Mendoz Montes allegedly sexually abused a 14-year-old in Virginia.
Last week, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray’s lifeless body was found in Houston, allegedly murdered by two Venezuelan migrants.
They lured the girl under a bridge, stripped her naked to the waist, bound her hands and feet and raped her for two hours before killing her.
Too many deaths and life-shattering assaults.
Women’s rights groups backing President Biden must speak up: Safety from rapists and sexually motivated killers is a fundamental right.
Leftists object to the word “illegal” — preferring the term “undocumented” instead.
But let’s not mince words: Some are rapists and killers. Monsters.
Close the border to stop the femicidal madness.
