  • Gov. DeSantis supports Trump’s plans to secure border and deport criminal illegal immigrants

Another Horrific Crime by an Illegal Immigrant

Once again, we’re faced with the grim reality of our porous borders and the devastating consequences of unchecked illegal immigration. Santo Martinez Varela, an illegal immigrant from Honduras, has been arrested in Palm Beach County for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl and conducting an armed robbery. This isn’t just a crime; it’s a stark reminder of the failures of our current immigration policies and the Biden administration’s utter disregard for American safety.

Varela, who illegally crossed the border in 2023, made his way to West Palm Beach where he committed these heinous acts. It’s a slap in the face to every law-abiding citizen and legal immigrant in this country. How many more innocent Americans must suffer before we take decisive action to secure our borders?

The Extent of Varela’s Crimes

As if the sexual assault of a minor wasn’t horrific enough, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) has revealed that Varela’s crime spree doesn’t end there. PBSO spokesperson Therese Barbera stated, “Two victims of robbery have been located”

This begs the question: How many more victims are out there? How many more lives have been shattered because our government refuses to protect its citizens? The PBSO is now desperately seeking public assistance to identify potential additional victims. It’s a sad day when law enforcement has to rely on citizens to clean up the mess created by our own government’s negligence.

A Call for Real Action

While Varela sits in Palm Beach County Jail without bail, thankfully with an ICE detainer, we’re left wondering how many more criminals like him are roaming our streets. It’s high time for a complete overhaul of our immigration system. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gets it right when he says, “President-elect Trump was elected with a mandate to stop illegal immigration and deport illegal aliens already in our country”

DeSantis is putting his money where his mouth is, calling for a special session to allocate funding to support Trump’s immigration policies. It’s this kind of decisive action that we need across the country. How many more Varelas need to slip through before we say enough is enough? It’s time to secure our borders, enforce our laws, and put American safety first. Anything less is a betrayal of the American people.
