Jewelry-store heist by illegal migrants damns Biden border crisis AND failed NY criminal justice reforms

New York’s unending migrant crisis has now entered the “dark comedy” phase: A crew of illegals who used saws to break into a Long Island jewelry store early Thursday morning was let go without bail — and then used the same tools to cut off their ankle monitors and vanish. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, one of the more reliably sane Empire State voices, thundered: “It’s a damn disgrace.”He’s dead right. The sextet of thugs reportedly came to the United States from Venezuela and Chile as part of the crime-tourism wave now sweeping the nation, an inevitable consequence both of the Harris-Biden wave-them-in border policy and pro-crime DAs in big deep-blue cities.Their robbery was technically daring (and a bit reminiscent of Jules Dassin’s classic 1955 film noir “Rififi”).But the crooks bungled the getaway and got scooped up the same night. In a sane country, they would’ve been jailed until they got loaded onto the next plane back to Caracas and Santiago. This is a crew of professional thieves who crossed the border illegally. But in prog-run New York, in Biden’s America?
