Buttigieg’s Denial of Migrant Crime Impact Rebuked by Fox News Host
During a recent heated exchange with Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Fox News host Shannon Bream did not mince words. The conversation revolved around the escalating migrant crisis and the surge in crimes perpetrated by illegal migrants in the U.S. Buttigieg attempted to downplay the crime implications of illegal immigration and brush aside the Republican National Convention’s (RNC) stance on this issue. However, Bream was quick to underscore the very real consequences of unchecked immigration.
Bream highlighted that even Democratic governors and mayors from states distant from the border have recognized the repercussions of illegal immigration and its correlation with rising crime rates. She pointed out that if these criminals hadn’t been in the country illegally, many victims of violent and sexual crimes would still be alive today.
Buttigieg, however, tried to divert attention away from these facts and discredit the RNC’s narrative. He accused them of spreading misinformation, stating, “Trying to make people think that crime is up when crime is down under Joe Biden, and crime was up under Donald Trump.” Bream quickly retorted by challenging him to provide any data backing his assertion, which Buttigieg failed to do.
The truth is that the surge in illegal immigration under the Biden administration has led to a substantial number of illegal migrant criminals evading law enforcement. Reports suggest that since Biden took office there have been 1.9 million “gotaways” – illegal migrants who have slipped through the cracks and vanished within our borders.
The fallout from this lax policy has been devastating. There have been countless instances of violent and sexual crimes committed by these illegal migrants, leading to tragic losses like those of Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, and Laken Riley. These innocent women might still be alive if these criminals hadn’t been allowed to enter the country illegally.
The Biden administration must own up to the ramifications of their lenient immigration policies. Brushing off the issue and pointing fingers at the previous administration is not a solution. The safety and well-being of American citizens should be paramount, and it’s evident that the crime surge linked to illegal immigration cannot be swept under the rug.
During his tenure, Trump prioritized addressing illegal immigration. Despite relentless opposition from the media and the left, his policies led to a reduction in illegal border crossings and a decrease in crime rates. Trump recognized the importance of border security and protecting American citizens from the perils of illegal immigration.

Final Thoughts
Bream’s rebuttal against Buttigieg’s attempts to trivialize the impact of illegal immigration on crime was warranted. The facts are indisputable, and it’s clear that illegal immigration has repercussions that must be confronted. American lives hang in the balance. It’s high time for the Biden administration to act decisively and prioritize its citizens’ safety and security over political maneuvering.
