Virginia is Now a Border State With Over 1,600 Criminal Illegal Aliens

The Kamala Harris bordervasion is now flooding the commonwealth with murderers, rapists, and child sex predators.

Facts don’t lie: Virginia is the most-devastated state for illegal alien crimes, according to new data obtained by Restoration News for IllegalAlienCrimes.com.

In total, we’ve traced over 1,600 crimes by illegal aliens in the commonwealth, effectively making Virginia the new Arizona—a border state plagued by criminals, rapists, murderers, and even terrorists brought in by border czar Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

For months, Restoration News has documented illegal alien crimes across the nation, relying on public information requests, media reports, and tips from our readers. Details are difficult to uncover on illegal aliens due to sanctuary policies and a lack of coverage by the legacy media. Yet we are persistent and through our investigative research have detailed thousands of monster illegal aliens across the United States harming Americans.

Nowhere is Safe

In the small town of New Market, Virginia in May 2023, Bradley Painter was riding his motorcycle on Route 11 when Jony Salazar Ortiz swerved into his lane hitting him head-on. Ortiz’s blood alcohol was more than three times the legal limit and he was driving without a license. Ortiz killed Painter that day and a year later was convicted of manslaughter.

To date, Restoration News is the only media outlet to report that Jony Ortiz was in the country illegally and placed on an immigration detainer. Worse, court records indicate this was Ortiz’s second DUI offense. Bradley Painter would still be alive today if Kamala Harris was never put in charge of the border crisis.

Chesterfield County is flooded with illegal alien criminals arrested for DUIs—many with multiple offenses—sexual assaults on children, rape, and worse.  

Drunk driving and sexual assaults of children are the top crimes being committed by illegal aliens. In Feb. 2024, Congress proposed the Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act which would require aliens convicted of a DUI to be deported, with virtually all House Democrats voting against the measure. Now Democrats in the Senate refuse to even bring the bill to a floor vote.

Coastal Virginia is also being inundated by Kamala Harris’ bordervasion. So far in 2024, 33 non-citizens inmates have been held in the Virginia Beach jail coming from places like El Salvador, Uzbekistan, Guatemala, Honduras, and Venezuela.

In Chesapeake, VA on Feb. 19, 2024, a beautiful 19-year-old college student, Lauryn Ni’kole Leonard was killed after Elvis Jamir Cruz Ferrera crashed into her vehicle. He was driving without a license and no insurance. Of course the media didn’t report that he was an 18-year-old in the country illegally from Honduras and was placed on an immigration detainer. Just 3 months earlier Ferrera was cited for speeding and driving without a license.

The legacy media may refuse to do its job as a watchdog, but we won’t.
