House Judiciary Committee releases latest report slamming Biden-Harris border policies

The report was the latest in the House Judiciary's series on the "Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration's Open-Borders Policies."

The House Judiciary committee released its latest interim report on Friday regarding crimes committed by people who entered the United States illegally. 

The seven-page report focused on a Peruvian illegal immigrant who allegedly killed a man in Texas in 2023. The migrant crossed into the country through the southwest border in May of 2023, and later allegedly bludgeoned the man to death that September. 

The committee claimed the migrant, identified as Roberto Emilio Vasquez-Santamaria, was detained by Border Patrol but was then released into the country when he vowed not to "violate any local, State, or federal laws or ordinances ... associate with known gang members, criminal associates, or be associated with any such activity," and "not commit any crimes."

Vasquez-Santamaria was also ordered to appear in front of an immigration judge to plead his case in June of 2025, two years after he illegally entered the country. It is not clear from the report whether Vasquez-Santamaria has since been deported.

"The consequences [of the program] are dire, with illegal aliens committing crimes against Americans at an alarming rate," the committee wrote. "The disastrous immigration policies of the Biden-Harris Administration have had real world consequences for American citizens."

"The effects of those policies will be felt for years to come, with criminal aliens in American neighborhoods harming families and hurting public safety across the country," the report added.

The report was the latest in the House Judiciary's series on the "Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration's Open-Borders Policies."
