MEET AMERICA'S "HIGH-THREAT" CRIMINALS: DRUNK DRIVERS, POT SMOKERS AND CHILD SUPPORT EVADERS



According to an article in the Associated Press (AP), the Texas Department of Public Safety, (DPS) considers alleged drunk drivers, pot smokers and child support evaders to be "high-threat criminals."

You read that right, Police State America is now turning low-level criminals into "high-threat" criminals.

Drivers in Texas busted for drunken driving, not paying child support or low-level drug offenses are among thousands of "high-threat" criminal arrests being counted as part of a nearly $1 billion mission to secure the border with Mexico. What they're really saying is, low-level drug offenders can mean, marijuana possession or getting caught smoking a joint.

DHS and law enforcement have arrested nearly 21,000 "high-threat" criminals since 2015

DPS and DHS have made 20,993 "high-threat" criminal arrests in the last 24 months and 2,099 in the last 60 days.

Which means, Texas averages approximately 11,000 "high-threat" arrests a year!

How many of these "high-threat" criminals are immigrants?

Remember, DHS is holding a record 45,000 immigrants for deportation. Many immigrants face thousands of dollars in fines just to get out of prison and must agree to wear a GPS tracker for $420 a month.

A threat overview published by DPS in 2013 defined "high-threat" criminals as "individuals whose criminal activity poses a serious public safety or homeland security threat."

What possible risk do pot smokers, child support evaders and alleged drunk drivers pose to Homeland Security?

How long before red-light violators, speeding violators and traffic scofflaws are considered a "high-threat" to homeland security?
