As the Trump Administration wrestles with how to effectively end the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program, there are many illegal aliens–known as DREAMers–who were convicted or are suspected of crimes against American citizens.
Under DACA, more than 800,000 illegal alien youths are allowed to remain in the United States and legally work, despite entering the country illegally. Trump promised to shutter DACA, but has shown an apparent hesitation in coming through on the pledge.
Below, Breitbart Texas compiled a list of 25 DREAMers who went on to allegedly commit crimes against Americans.
DREAMer Who Killed Two Girls in Hit-and-Run Won’t Be Deported
Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros, an illegal alien protected by DACA, was convicted in 2014 of two counts of felony hit and run after she killed two Forest Grove, Oregon, stepsisters—Anna Dieter-Eckerdt and Abigail Robinson ages 6 and 11 respectively—were playing at the time of the incident, as Breitbart News reported.
A judge also threw out Garcia-Cisneros’ deportation case after her murder conviction.
DREAMer Murdered American Teen in Sanctuary City
Laura Wilkerson explained what occurred to her son, Josh, at the hands of an illegal alien protected by DACA in 2013, Breitbart News reported:
“We found out later that what he [Hermilio Moralez] did was he asked Josh for a ride home from school and Josh said, ‘sure,’” Wilkerson said. “I think he’d given him a ride home two or three times before. He took him actually to his parents’ house. For some reason, we found out later why, what he did to Josh was he hit him in the nose, and this is what the kid tells from the stand, he hit him in the nose so hard that it would blind him so that he couldn’t fight back. Then he kicked him so hard in the stomach. Josh was about this big around and he weighed about 100 pounds in the body bag. He kicked him so hard in the stomach that his liver sliced in two and his spine sliced in two. He ruptured his spleen. He took a closet rod and beat Josh over the head so hard with it that it broke in four pieces. He strangled him, then let him go. Strangled him, let him go. Per the medical examiner, it was just torturous. After he murdered him, as he said, when Josh quit having bloody bubbles come out of his nose, he knew he was gone, he tied him up like an animal with about 13 ropes from his the back of his neck to the back of his hands, to the back of his feet. He covered his head with his school shirt. Then he put him in the back of my son’s truck and he drove around and he took two dollars out of Josh’s wallet and he stopped and bought gas. Then he took him to a field and he took his wallet and school ID out and just placed it by the body. Then he doused him with gas and set him on fire. It was just incredible.”
