A distressed parent from New York City is criticizing President Biden’s border policies after his 13-year-old daughter was brutally raped in broad daylight in a public park by a suspect who is believed to be an illegal immigrant.
The father told the New York Post that “this is what happens” when illegal migrants are permitted to cross the border. His name was suppressed to protect his daughter’s identity.
“The open border policy, I have never agreed with, because that just invites a lot of things that we don’t need,” he stated. “And look what came in.”
“Look what happened to my daughter,” he replied.
Observe what transpired with my daughter.

The outlet was informed by the 13-year-old’s father that he has been “going through hell” ever since the attack.
“It completely upended my world, and I’m still in the healing process. With all of the rage I’m feeling right now, my head is absolutely racing,” he remarked.
In response to a question about his young daughter’s well-being after the egregious incident, he responded, “You can’t even understand. So let’s just end it there.
The girl was allegedly approached by the suspect, a 25-year-old Ecuadorian illegal immigrant named Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, who bound her and the 13-year-old boy together before sexually assaulting the girl.

The culprit was apprehended by a group of neighbors who recognized him from a wanted poster, and the father commended them for keeping him under control until the police could come and take him into custody.
“If it had been someone else’s child, I would have taken the same action. Definitely, I would have. Without a doubt,” he stated. “You don’t need someone like that walking around, driving around, biking around, looking for spots where he can be a predator.”
The father “thanked God” that the adult man who had “violated” his young daughter had not been seen by him.
“Especially when you have a child that’s been violated viciously, the instinct that I have is… thank God I didn’t see this guy,” said the father.

Rep. Andrew R. Garbarino, R-N.Y., told Fox News Digital that “protecting American citizens” should be the Biden administration’s “top priority.”
The “top priority” for the Biden administration should be “protecting American citizens,” according to Rep. Andrew R. Garbarino, R-N.Y., who spoke with Fox News Digital.
“Our open borders continue to allow violent criminals into our communities and Americans are left to suffer the consequences,” he stated. “What happened to this poor girl makes me sick and, unfortunately, she is far from the first to fall victim to a predator in the form of a criminal migrant who should have been turned away before entering this country.”
“No one should have to suffer what she and her family are currently going through,” said Garbarino. “Protecting American citizens must be our top priority and that means securing our border, expelling illegal immigrants, and empowering law enforcement to crack down on violent crime.”
“Protecting American citizens must be our top priority…”

President of the New York Young Republican Club Gavin Wax told Fox News Digital that the 13-year-old’s rape serves as an example of how President Biden and former President Trump are different.
“This week’s tragedy is not the first and will sadly not be the last tragedy involving illegal criminal aliens, many who are in this country to cause chaos, and to commit criminal heinous acts against innocent women and children and law-abiding American citizens,” said the president.
“This crisis is the epitome of the difference in policy and leadership between Joe Biden and Donald Trump,” Wax stated. “Our prayers go out to the victims and our advocacy and our activism will be laser focused on the restoration of America First over America Last policies, on citizenship and national sovereignty being meaningful again, and on evicting squatter Joe Biden from the White House and re-electing Donald J. Trump as the 47th president of the United States of America. Anything short of that is the end to our constitutional republic.”

The rape of the 13-year-old girl in a public park came as migrant-related crime has continued to plague the nation as the Biden administration continues to grapple with illegal immigration.
An illegal migrant from El Savador was identified as the suspect in the murder and rape of Maryland mom Rachel Morin.
Victor Martinez Hernandez, 23, was identified as the suspect in Morin’s death after her body was found on a trail in Bel Air, Maryland, on Aug. 5, 2023.
Martinez Hernandez entered the U.S. illegally in February 2023, according to authorities. The following month, a woman and her 9-year-old daughter were attacked in a home invasion in Los Angeles. Martinez Hernandez is a suspect in that attack.
In Houston, police arrested two illegal immigrants from Venezuela accused of strangling a 12-year-old local girl and dumping her body in a creek.
Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, face capital murder charges in the death of Jocelyn Nungaray, city police said Thursday.
Both suspects illegally crossed the border through El Paso on separate occasions, sources told Fox News. Both had been captured by Border Patrol and released.
In its monthly update Thursday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 117,900 encounters between ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border, a decrease of about 9% from the prior month.
