Former Border Patrol chief discusses the arrest of a migrant accused of raping a teen girl in New York City and the role of sanctuary city laws in such crimes.
Former U.S. Border Patrol Chief Ron Vitiello joined 'Fox & Friends First' to express his outrage over the tragic incident in which an Ecuadoran migrant held two 13-year-old children at knifepoint, molesting the girl and robbing them. Vitiello emphasized that such crimes are preventable if the city's sanctuary city laws are repealed.
Vitiello highlighted the contrast between the Democratic Party's open border policy and former President Donald Trump's promise to crack down on illegal immigration, emphasizing the need for a choice between these two approaches. He also urged voters to reject the "lunatic 'sanctuary city'" laws that shield migrant criminals from deportation.
