Another Illegal Alien Busted in Montana's Gallatin Valley

When I first spotted this story on social media, one of the commenters had a really good question. Why is he being described as "a Gallatin Gateway man" if he is in the country illegally? What country is he actually a citizen of?

Great questions. I had another question: From the US Attorney's perspective- why was he arrested for having a gun? Is it because illegal aliens aren't allowed to own guns, or is it because he had additional prior offenses on top of being in the country illegally? I was interested in their response to that question for a few different reasons.

Turns out this "Gallatin Gateway man" is actually from Mexico.

I reached out to Clair Howard, a public affairs officer for the federal US Attorney's office here in Montana. Thanks to Clair for responding. She tells me, "Mr. Rojas is from Mexico. An illegal alien is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition. That is one of the elements of this particular crime."

In case you missed it, NBC Montana had this headline (based off of a US Attorney's press release): Gallatin Gateway man who entered US illegally admits to firearm charges (Click here for more reporting on illegal aliens getting busted in the Bozeman area)

Three years ago, we told you how critical resources were being diverted from our northern border to our southern border. Seven months ago, we told you how Montana's northern border is also a terrorism risk. Check out what we have for you now.

We got a surprise phone call early Wednesday from the Flathead County Sheriff and the Mayor of Kalispell. They had just wrapped up a big meeting discussing the illegal aliens that were dumped in Kalispell last week, and what to do about the ongoing crisis.

If they had a special session, what could be done so that Montana can deal with illegal aliens being secretly transported into the state? Here's one answer.

Turns out, the local "nonprofit organization" that is working to traffic illegal aliens into the Flathead is led by the head of the Flathead County Democrats. Here's more.
