John Walsh: ‘The Border Is as Porous as the Ocean’

WASHINGTON -- John Walsh, creator of America’s Most Wanted, said the U.S.-Mexico border is “as porous as the ocean” and argued that illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the U.S. should be kept in jail and not sent back over the border.
Walsh argued that deportation gives criminal aliens a chance to come back to the U.S. and commit more crimes.
Walsh also praised presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s act of drawing attention to the lack of adequate security at the border and promoting the conversation around public safety issues in the nation – but said building a wall and mass deportations are not feasible solutions for border security.
Family members of victims killed by individuals living in the U.S. illegally have testified recently on Capitol Hill. Some of the illegal immigrants with criminal records mentioned at the hearings were repeat offenders.
Walsh was asked if federal immigration authorities should be allowed to release illegal immigrants with criminal records back into U.S. communities.
“No. I have been so involved in this and hunted down many illegals that committed crimes. One of them I will always remember — Rafael Resendez-Ramirez, the hobo serial killer — had been arrested and released by local county police, state police and federal police 17 times. He went on to murder at least eight women throughout the United States,” Walsh said at the Hope Awards, an event sponsored by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“They just put him across the border and he snuck in each time. I think we need to do a better job of keeping illegal immigrants who commit horrible crimes in jail here in America and make them pay for their crimes, not just dump them back across the border when they can come in, and so that has always been a problem.”
In addition, Walsh said the U.S. has to do a better job of stopping young women from sneaking into the U.S. because of the particular danger they face.
“They get grabbed by the drug cartels and sold into sexual slavery. America is the largest offender, the largest buyer of sex exploitation of women and children in the sex trafficking business,” said Walsh, national spokesperson for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. “Everybody thinks it’s in Vietnam and Cambodia and India — yes, it is there, but America is the No. 1 offender of sex trafficking of young children. So we have to realize what happens with these people when they come and try to sneak into the United States.”
