The Issue: An illegal immigrant is arrested for the sexual assault of a 13-year old girl in a Queens park.
A man was arrested for the rape of a 13-year old in Queens in just the latest example of President Biden’s catastrophic open-border policy (“Migrant ‘filmed’ kid rape,” June 20).
President Biden’s border policy negatively affects every facet of American life from crime, inflation, education to so much more. And while his fellow Democrats complain about not receiving enough funding for their self-made disaster, what do we hear from them about actually closing the border? Crickets.
Until these same politicians are removed from office, the gradual destruction of the country will only continue.

This tragic crime should have never happened. The Biden administration and the current leadership in New York that goes along with its open-border policies is going to continue to cause innocent Americans to become the victims of rape, murder and many other crimes.
They seem to care more about the people breaking the law to enter the United States than they do for law-abiding citizens.
Congrats to the brave people that captured the alleged criminal. Mayor Adams and the governor should resign.

The June 20 front-page headline unnecessarily refers to a man who confessed to having raped a 13-year-old girl as an illegal migrant.
Had he been a US citizen, would The Post refer to him as such?
Undocumented migrants are mostly hardworking people who contribute enormously to our society by doing jobs others often don’t want to do, and they receive precious little gratitude for their sacrifice.
They help solve key labor shortages that exist in many sectors. They pick our food, take care of our elderly and (according to numerous studies) they commit crimes at a rate lower than that of US citizens.
Undocumented migrants have a hard enough life without being smeared on the front page of The Post.

The woman who identified and apprehended the alleged rapist did a job worthy of the medal of honor (“Femme fatale sent message,” June 20).
More people should be aware of this person’s bravery. That scumbag deserves corporal punishment. His victim will have to live with this violation, mentally and physically, for the rest of her life.

While our Somnambulist-in-Chief dithers through his presidency, Vice President Kamala Harris visited Central America to consider the “root causes” of the immigration crisis, while innocent citizens are being badly hurt, maimed and worse. Witness the recent rape of a 13-year year-old in Queens.
Does anyone need further reason for voting them out of office come November?

Biden created a border crisis that resulted in the assault of this girl.
How many more citizens have to be sexually assaulted before Democrats understand this?

Thank goodness for all the good samaritans in New York City who came to the rescue and beat and tied up this man who raped a 13-year-old girl.
In essence, these courageous and honorable citizens cleaned up the dirty work left behind by Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Due to this administration’s failed border policies, Biden and Mayorkas are 100% responsible for what happened to this child. As a result, both Biden and Mayorkas should be removed from office due to their dereliction of duties.

If the borders were closed, this man would not have been allowed into the country and the young girl would not have been raped.
The United States should close all borders.
