El Salvador Claims Lowest Murder Rate In Decades Amid Gang Crackdown

El Salvador last year recorded its lowest murder rate in three decades, the government said Wednesday, hailing President Nayib Bukele's controversial war on gangs.

A total of 154 murders registered in the country of 6.6 million people amounted to a rate of 2.4 per 100,000 inhabitants -- down from 495 murders in 2022, officials said.

The rate was almost a third lower than the world average as tallied by UN agencies.

When Bukele took power in 2019 elections, the poverty-stricken Central American country had one of the world's highest murder rates at 38 per 100,000 inhabitants, with drug gangs controlling 80 percent of the country, according to the government.

Under a state of emergency passed by Congress in March 2022 and consistently renewed since then, authorities have imprisoned more than 75,000 alleged gang members, of whom about 7,000 were later released.

Bukele, who is on a formal leave of absence ahead of elections in February, boasted on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday that El Salvador was now "officially the safest country in all of Latin America."

Justice Minister Gustavo Villatoro reiterated this at a press conference, saying
El Salvador's murder rate was now the second lowest in the Americas after Canada.

Pelosi blocks transparency in COVID investigation

Anyone seen the reasoning on this?

It passed the Senate without a dissent.

House Democrats on Tuesday blocked a GOP bill which would require the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information related to the US government's investigations into the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic - and in particular, what role the Wuhan Institute of Virology may have played in the outbreak.

The bill failed in the House by a vote of 216 - 207.

As The Federalist notes, "House Democrats’ vote against transparency comes just days after the World Health Organization urged China to cooperate with their second inquiry into the virus’s origins, citing previous difficulty working with the communist regime when China refused to share raw patient data with the WHO during the first round of investigations.

Study Find Nearly 3-in-5 Illegal Alien Households Are on Taxpayer-Funded Welfare

These illegals are a strain on this nation - we can't support this on the backs of the taxpayers. Every day thousands more simply march across the open border Joe Biden created.
A recent analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals that nearly 60 percent of households led by illegal immigrants use some form of welfare, while about 52 percent of households led by legal immigrants also use welfare, compared to fewer than 40 percent of native-born American households.

The study highlights that immigrant-led households use more food stamps, Medicaid benefits, and the Earned Income Tax Credit than native-born households.

The report comes as the foreign-born population in the U.S. reaches record highs under President Joe Biden, with an increase of 4.5 million since January 2021.

“This is primarily because the American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants,” CIS researchers reported.

“Compared to households headed by the United States-born, immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs (36 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), Medicaid (37 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (16 percent vs. 12 percent for the U.S.-born),” CIS researchers state.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, “American voters continuously tell pollsters they want cuts to overall immigration, mostly legal immigration.

Adding, “The latest survey from Rasmussen Reports showed 56 percent of likely voters want legal immigration levels cut to at least 750,000 admissions a year — including a plurality who said they want to see fewer than 500,000 admissions a year.

The findings coincide with ongoing public sentiment favoring reductions in overall immigration levels, particularly legal immigration.

What a dumpster fire. To say it is unbelievable wouldn't do it justice. SMH.... We also are sending 4 billion dollars to corrupt Central American countries who are corrupt with this idea that it could help to prevent people from leaving? This has nothing to do with Trump, but there is a reason a person who wants to put America first has been elected to office. The amount of money we throw around that could be used much more efficiently and wisely would put any normal citizen into bankruptcy.
