This heart-wrenching incident sheds light on the broader issue of border security, prompting questions about the effectiveness of the current administration’s border policies as Corrales-Ramirez’s troubling history raises concerns about the safety and well-being of American citizens.
The fact that Corrales-Ramirez had a previous encounter with the United States Border Patrol in March of this year is particularly alarming. He was arrested after he had been declared wanted in Laurel, Maryland, for his involvement in a stabbing incident that occurred in February.
While the New York State Police said they tried to extradite him to Maryland to face his criminal case, the warrant out for him at Maryland is still active.
Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin, a Republican, took to Twitter to express his concerns about this incident.
He emphasized that Corrales-Ramirez’s arrest shows that “the open borders and sanctuary cities policies are failures and the inability by [President Joe] Biden and [Gov. Kathy] Hochul to deal with the illegal migrant issue are placing our safety and quality of life in jeopardy.”
“It is becoming all too clear that there are two sets of laws and standards in our nation and our state. The end result of that foolishness and lack of common sense is a killing on Saturday in the biggest city in our county allegedly by a man who was not supposed to be in our country and additionally, not free on the streets,” McLaughlin remarked further.
This tragic case is not an isolated incident. New York has seen a surge in illegal immigration, leading to numerous arrests of border crossers and illegal aliens accused of crimes, including sexual assault and violent offenses.
Just recently, two migrant men in Erie County, New York, were charged in separate incidents in which they are accused of raping women, with one of the alleged assaults occurring in front of a three-year-old toddler.
These distressing events underscore the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform and a stronger focus on border security as many across the aisle argue that a secure border is essential to protect American citizens from individuals who enter the country illegally and subsequently engage in criminal activities.
