Border Patrol nab illegal immigrant with conviction for raping child under age of 4 | Fox News
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Border Patrol agents have arrested an illegal immigrant with a number of prior conviction, including raping a child under the age of four - the latest child sex offender to be arrested trying to enter the United States.
Agents in Yuma, Arizona arrested Miguel Vargas Mendoza, a 33-year-old Mexican national on Tuesday. Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem said that Mendoza had prior convictions for possession of a controlled substance and marijuana for sale, sex with a child three years or younger and willful cruelty to a child.
The incident marks the latest example of the kind of criminal illegal immigrants who are seeking to enter the United States via the southern border -- where agents have been overwhelmed with a historic influx of migrants that has had the border at crisis levels for well over a year.
Border Patrol agents have caught an illegal immigrant with multiple prior convictions in Yuma, Arizona.
So far this fiscal year Border Patrol have made 9,381 arrests of criminal migrants, among the more than two million migrants who have crossed into the U.S. -- although that does not include the over 500,000 who have successfully evaded agents.
Among those encountered include 283 convictions for sexual offenses, compared to 488 in all of FY 2021 and 156 in FY 2020.
Earlier this month agents in Texas apprehended four sex offenders -- including a Guatemalan national who had previously been arrested and charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 by force and was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Agents also picked a Salvadoran national who had been convicted for indecent exposure with a child in Houston in 2016, a crime for which he was sentenced to 10 years probation.
Agents in Brownsville, Texas arrested a 32-year-old Mexican national who had a prior conviction of cruelty towards a child and transmission of child pornography in Florida. Officials nabbed a Mexican illegal alien last week who had a prior arrest for sexual assault of a child under 11 in South Carolina.
ICE recently announced that a Mexican illegal immigrant who entered the U.S. earlier this year has been convicted of possessing child pornography.
Christian Munoz De La Rosa admitted to being part of a group of illegal immigrants caught near Carrizo Springs, Texas, in June. When he was picked up, authorities examined his phones and discovered the illegal images.
The phone contained 116 images of children, some involving children as young as 3.
The Biden administration is focusing on root causes of migration and has claimed that the border is secure, although FBI Director Christopher Wray recently testified that the border presents "significant security issues."
"I have been to ports of entry, including not that long ago, with [Customs and Border Protection] officers walking me through it, so I could really see firsthand what they're up against, and all I can say is, boy, they've got a heck of a challenge and I admire their grit and determination to get the job done, but it's a daunting one," he told lawmakers.

I think that they are NOT sending us their best.
Maybe Biden can get a handle on it sometime or other.
/s
We just broke an all time record: 2 Million encounters!
"The number of migrant encounters at the southern border this fiscal year has now exceeded two million, sources tell Fox News — a number that marks a new record, as well as a glaring sign of the enormous and ongoing crisis facing agents, officials and communities at the border."
But Biden says the border is secure!
But biden's an ass.
Yeah, and we are stuck with him for a while longer.
Who is sending them?
Figure it out if you are sincerely interested and not just trolling.
So no answer because you are just trolling again. Got it.
Who cares who's sending them. Just send them back. Any place that will take them except here is good enough. He'll send somewhere else that doesn't want them just get them out of here.
If you would bother reading the comment thread that you are commenting on, your would see that Texan1211 is very concerned with them.
Only if he imagined that someone writing "I think that they are NOT sending us their best." demonstrates great concern rather than merely noting the fucking obvious.
Personally, I know he is way too smart to try something so shady and stupid.
Ahhh, you're back. Once again, who is "they"? Who specifically is sending them?
How many have you taken into your home?
How many are you willing to shoot? An equally silly proposition in ignoring the very real problem.
Every one that tries to cross my threshold without permission.
"An equally silly proposition in ignoring the very real problem"
Besides illegal alien parasites, what do you believe is the "very real problem"?
How many of them are crossing the border illegally. They shoot invaders don't they?
In the words of one of your heroines:
Still trolling? Too pitiful to even back up your own claim?
Nailed It!
Gee, Mr. Biden, how can the border be secure AND present significant security issues?
Instead of the IRS harassing the poor and middle class citizens, maybe Bumbling Biden should hire 87,000 border agents
I don't believe it will take 87,000 border agents to unlock gates that keep illegal aliens out.
Absolutely.! I have been thinking the same thing which just goes to prove that great minds think alike!
Unfortunately Biden and the Democrats would rather terrorize the citizens of our country because they certainly don't want to inconvenience the illegal aliens invading the southern border
Because of recent liberal policies they will probably let him go without bail and reduce any charges to misdemeanor for following too close.
I’m gonna call for a collective deep breath and relax.
I’m glad they caught a bad guy, but if you’re trying to impress readers with the numbers, this story does a poor job. Here’s the problem in perspective using the numbers provided.
2 million - 500K = 1.5 million. Of those, 9,381 were criminals. 9381/1500000 = 0.006254. So we’re talking about six-tenths of 1%.
Statistically, very few are sexual offenders. YTD, it’s 283. That’s 3% of criminal illegal aliens, and therefore 18 thousandths of 1% of the illegal immigrants.
Roughly half of these people qualify as “criminal” merely because they are illegally re-entering the country.
Now I will always endorse seeking greater control of immigration. But people talk about this like it’s a national crisis and we’re being invaded by rapists. The same people won’t wear a mask if Covid only kills 2 or 3% of those who are infected.
One criminal alien is too many. A criminal alien pedophile/sex abuser is about ten too many. There is no justification for any of those illegal aliens to cross the border they all need to stay south of the border. The further south the better.
Totally agree. But you’re never going to get to zero.
You have to try to stop them first. The Biden administration isn't even trying.
Only Americans should be criminals? Is that actually what you are promoting?
I didn't say that. But we do already have a surplus of American criminals. We have no need to have criminals from other countries adding to our problems.
Why are you in favor of allowing alien criminals entry into the country?
Why so obtuse?
Where did I say that?
I am just fine with asylum seekers however, as are our laws.
The overwhelming majority if not all of those crossing or attempting to cross the border are not eligible for asylum. Being poor and or not able to find proper employment in their own country is not a reason offer them asylum. It also does not make them refugees. Trump's remain in Mexico policy was good and was working. It needs to be reinstated
Not yours to decide. If they are trying to claim asylum, they have the right to do so, no matter the outcome. That's THE LAW!!!
Yet they still have the right, BY LAW, to apply. And they are here LEGALLY during that application process.
And I am sure you approved of Trump's policy to kidnap the children, take them away from their parents, and lose them in the system. After all, it's not like they are human beings, is it??? /sarc
How many have you taken into your home, or are you one of those NIMBY liberals?
I am surprised you don't like that program since it was just a continuation of a policy started by Obama. You are also aware that many if not most of those 'children" were either unaccompanied by either parent or were not in anyway related to the people they crossed the border with.
Never said it wasn't illegal for them to apply. The law does not say that they must be let into the country to go anywhere in the country the please only to ignore their court hearings and ignore their orders to leave the country when denied asylum status.
“You are also aware that many if not most of those 'children" were either unaccompanied…”
Indeed.
And what does that tell you about the desperation those parents felt?
And more importantly, what does that tell you about the callousness of those that ignore those innocents situation to score an inhumane political point?
How is their desperation my problem ?
Respectfully, how is the immigration problem, and it is a problem, affecting you personally…not politically, but in an existential manner? A serious question that should require an honest answer from everyone, lest the vitriol keep us from communally addressing the myriad problems facing us.
Why do you think it's a problem?
“Why do you think it's a problem?”
Good question.
Because it has been ignored since Eisenhower and has become nothing but political fodder since. The money pissed away could have and should have gone to building the judiciary system to adjudicate the cases in a timely fashion, to provide humane living conditions for all those awaiting trial, and to invest in foreign relations to at least understand why the continual influx of would-be immigrants. Basically…open our eyes and shut our mouths.
Just my opinion, and hopefully have at the very least answered your question.
Didn't care for the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act?
So you see it as more of a problem of caring for and adjudicating those that arrive illegibly or claiming asylum vs what is an immigration system that looks worldwide for improving the country?
“…caring for and adjudicating those that arrive illegibly or claiming asylum…”
I do.
I would, however, change ‘claiming’ asylum to seeking asylum and thusly, provide all that is required to humanely address those requests…a rather uniquely American tenet that has, of course, become politicized, weaponized…conveniently forgetting we are all descendants of immigrants, ‘illegibly’ or not.
So reduce World wide immigration to favor those geographically closer.
“…to favor those geographically closer.”
C’mon, wry. What, where and why the the conflict? You know, I know, everyone knows it is the Southern border. I’ve offered up my opinions already, so unless you have something to add, feel free to continue with the faux Socratic shenanigans.
Yes, assuming you agree that there is a finite number of immigrants that we should admit per year, I asked if you want to essentially reach that number with those that can walk here to the exclusion of others around the world.
Why does it have to affect me personally? I don't like people that have no respect for our laws and think they can just ignore them.
You probably don't want to know what I would do about the drug cartels either. It involve F-35s, B-2s and MI Abrams tanks
That has been debunked over and over.
Are aware that the ones kidnapped and separated from their parents were NOT unaccompanied? You're the one adding on the other children in this discussion.
Are you planning on shipping our judges and courts out to Mexico? That would be a stupid idea, so they would HAVE TO enter the country.
It is not the problem of the US Citizens and taxpayers
Yeah, can't be having all those feral cats (AKA your fellow human beings) here now can we?
Not illegally, no, we shouldn't be tolerating and cheering that crap on.
So no empathy or compassion whatsoever for your fellow human beings, I see.
I don't care.
That seems an odd thing to admit to publicly about yourself.
So unlike the empathy and compassion that you express daily on these pages.
The article indicates otherwise.
So they already broke our laws once. Why should we let them do it again. They need to keep the hell out of my country.
Right, but any reasonable person should be able to distinguish between child-rapist and mere illegal border crosser. One is worth being very concerned about. The other, much less so.
Neither one belongs here and both should be arrested and sent back to where they came from. There is absolutely no excuse for anyone breaking the law even immigration laws
Yes, but do you understand you are being manipulated into panicking over it because “child rapist?”
[deleted]
You do realize you are being manipulated into thinking those that cross the border illegally aren't causing hardships here?
That continuing and increasing those policies that ease illegal immigrants coming to this country only encourages more to come?
That the Democrats' dinner bell that was being rung loud and clear during their primaries in 2020; has turned into a dinner gong since Biden took office; and is now a never ending "Blue Light Special" at every inlet to the country (for those that remember Kmart).
You want to talk work VISA reform? OK, all for it. You want to talk about immigration reform? Maybe increasing the base numbers of those that can enter the country legally? Start with the precondition that all immigrants must apply for asylum at a US consulate and await processing outside the country. If they are under threat they can still go to a different country to wait. That all those that break our immigration laws are automatically expelled from the country with no future chance to enter under any conditions.
Illegal immigration is a real problem. It is past time it is addressed as such.
Wash DC's mayor agrees with you, after getting a few thousand visitors by bus, she asking to mobilize the National Guard, she wants federal facilities and more money to provide services.
And she got turned down again by the Pentagon LMAO
Haha So the idea is to spend more money and resources to stop these people instead of, you know, helping the poor....
And here I thought you all think global warming is a hoax.
Perhaps they thought the optics would be counter productive.
We have more than enough poor, homeless ( some of the homeless are that way by choice and can not be helped) an those that are unable to help themselves of our own. The last thing we need is for other countries poor homeless and helpless to come here.
Global warming may not be a hoax and it probably is not. What is a hoax is that it is caused by man and the thought that man can do anything to stop it. The earth has been warming as a general rule since the last ice age.
Thinking people have not altered the planet is living in denial.
Thinking that people could haveMore effect than nature itself is pure idiocy
You actually think people cannot change nature? That deforestation does not have an impact? That paving over land with asphalt and concrete doesn't have any impact? That killing of animals doesn't have an impact? That polluting the oceans and overfishing doesn't have an impact?
PROVE IT
And exactly how does one go about 'proving' anything to you when you won't even read a link?
How do YOU propose anyone 'prove it' to you?
What the huh?
Speaking of pure idiocy
I thought we were talking about climate change, you know, the rising temperatures.
In many areas there is more forested land than there was 200 years ago
BTW It was around then that the earth had a mini ice age where summer essential did not exist for a few years and it even snowed in some parts of the northern hemisphere in July.
There is so little by percentage that if it did have an impact it would be miniscule at best. Are you suggesting we go back to dirt cart paths and horse trails again?
When are you going to start providing proof when you are asked
I wasn't calling you but since you have acknowledged your presence, please feel free to continue with your idiocy. Being that I am in the hospital awaiting heart surgery, I could use a good laugh and you never fail to provide those.
City centers generate heat.
The places you are talking about more trees are mainly on the East coast where logging has been in a decline.
It amazes me you think people can do anything they want and it will not change anything.
Look at maps now. There is nothing but lights emanating from most of the world at night.
Again are you proposing that we all go back to preindustrial days? How many people do you plan to kill off to reach your goal? How are you going to feed the rest? How will they be employed?
I was born in the time I was born. I can still recognize damage when I see it.
You didn't answer my questions.
And I was born when I was born. I am also smart enough to look back in history and see that the climate has been changing for at least 15000 years even when there were not enough people to make a difference. I am intelligent enough to know when there is an attempt to bamboozle me with false and manipulated data.
“…I am also smart enough to look back in history and see that the climate has been changing for at least 15000 years…”
This is just too, too funny…or just so, so sad.
If the feds give a estimated(?) figure of 500,000 that evade capture, it is probably safe to just go ahead and double that amount.
This is what the Democrats open border brings to the country.
