The Biden administration’s latest masterclass in misguided immigration policy has taken an interesting turn, with a significant influx of Venezuelan migrants being settled in Aurora, Colorado. In an effort that can only be deemed impressive in its ability to attract crime and gangs, the federal government has teamed up with local authorities and a host of publicly subsidized non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Aurora is now shaping up to be the latest destination for those looking to escape their problems, only to find a new set of challenges waiting for them—and the locals are not thrilled about it.
Under the banner of compassion, government officials are flushing taxpayer dollars down the toilet by facilitating the relocation of these migrants into communities with already strained resources. With crime on the rise, citizens of Aurora are left shaking their heads in disbelief, pondering why their leaders seem more interested in humanitarian efforts abroad than in keeping their streets safe. As if this wasn’t enough, the locals are now forced to wonder what other surprises the administration has in store as they create a perfect climate for gangs to flourish.
Because then she will have to answer questions.
When are you going to investigate these NGOs?
Blame the Biden admin for Venezuelan gangs, migrants taking over Aurora, Coloradohttps://t.co/eFWwhet5cx— Eliza Crispin (@rdb2110aolcom) September 14, 2024
The irony is thick enough to cut with a knife. While these policy makers prattle on about building a diverse community, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Residents are witnessing crime rates soaring as gangs move in to take advantage of the chaotic situation. Instead of bolstering community safety, the Biden administration is busy providing a gold star to lawlessness and making Aurora a prime target for those looking to exploit the American system.
Even more galling is the reliance on NGOs—those well-funded organizations that often operate like private fiefdoms. Their role in this debacle has been to funnel resources and logistical support to help settle large numbers of migrants without consulting local communities. While these groups may claim to have noble intentions, the consequences are all too clear for the residents trying to navigate their new reality. Aurora has suddenly found itself in the middle of a bureaucratic mess, with no say in how it all unfolds.
The bottom line? This is a classic case of the federal government playing fast and loose with local communities, all in the name of open borders and social welfare. Aurora’s residents didn’t sign up for this circus. They were simply trying to go about their lives when the Biden administration decided to throw them into the deep end of a human rights experiment gone wrong. Now, it seems clear that the only ones benefiting from this arrangement are the gangs that are reaping the rewards of a disorganized immigration policy. Welcome to the new America, where your local community can become a testing ground for policies that would make even the most optimistic social experimenter raise an eyebrow.
