The death toll of young American women at the hands of illegal immigrants continues to rise under President Joe Biden.
Fresh off the news about an illegal immigrant being apprehended in Oklahoma for the rape and murder of Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old Maryland mother of 5, two illegals from Venezuela were caught in the slaying of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray.
Houston police arrested Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, after Jocelyn was strangled and dumped in a creek earlier this week.

The suspects face capital murder charges.
The Post Millennial noted that Houston police declined to address reports that the accused killers are Venezuelan nationals.
But the New York Post, citing Department of Homeland Security sources, reported that Ramos illegally entered the U.S. on May 28 through El Paso and was quickly released by Border Patrol agents.
He reportedly told authorities that he was going to live with a cousin in Houston before his scheduled court appearance in July.
DHS sources acknowledged that Martinez also illegally entered the U.S. through El Paso in March and was released for an unknown reason.
Investigators used surveillance footage to track movements by Martinez and Ramos before and after Jocelyn’s killing.

The sad news about Jocelyn and Morin was sandwiched by other reports about illegal immigrant crimes.
As the Tampa Free Press reported on Thursday that five illegal immigrants from Honduras and Mexico were arrested in Missouri after allegedly kidnapping a 14-year-old girl from her home in Indiana.
Fox News, meanwhile, reported this week about an illegal from Ecuador being arrested for kidnapping and raping a 13-year-old girl in a New York City park.
Of course, there have been others in recent months.
The most well-known case was the murder in February of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley by a gang member who entered the U.S. illegally from Venezuela.
A month later, authorities found 25-year-old Ruby Garcia shot to death and dumped along a highway near Grand Rapids. She was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, a Mexican national who entered the country illegally after being deported in 2020.
